Remake Radar: The Karate Kid
"The Karate Kid" (1984)
Stars Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue, and Martin Kove.
Director: John G. Avildsen
Story: Daniel LaRusso (Macchio) and his mom leave New Jersey for the sun and surf of Reseda, CA. Being Italian and from Jersey, Daniel doesn't quite fit in. Matters are further complicated when he asks a local girl out and is ganged-up on by others (12 of them) who begin kicking his ass karate-style before being fended off by Mr. Miyagi (Morita). Miyagi then teaches Daniel-son to "wax-on/wax-off" while building up his esteem so he can take on the leader of the gang in a tournament. Gotta love the crane kick.
