KK2 for the first time. Congrats. That's when things start getting serious. Those Japs are all about fighting to the death. When Daniel-San starts crossing the bridge for the final battle, Mr. Miyagi stands up and says, "DANIEL SAN! This not tournament. This for real." He was basically saying, "This ain't one of yo pussy American sissy scraps. This is the streets of Okinawa playa. And you bout to get delt wit if you don't come correct!"

It should have at least one an award for best score and soundtrack. The first three Karate Kid movies were chock full of bitchin' 80s pump-up tunes. Not to mention good teen-love anthems.
Don't forget Zamfir, Master of the Pan Flute, when Daniel-san is practicing on the lake.
The reason this is the best movie ever though is obviously Elisabeth Shue in her prime.
c'mon, no love for Hillary Swank and gay monks in KK4?

dude, you don't think Daniel LaRusso was juiced? Need I remind you of the scene in KK2 where Daniel-San breaks ALL SIX blocks of ice with one swipe? Anyone else think that was a bit suspect?
You do understand it was a movie, right?
CHECK IT OUT!!!

I will have to watch KK3 now; I hope it's on tonight. Please give a 'Spoiler Alert' for major KK3 plotlines!
There really is a lot of motivational cross over to running. I really wonder how the KK teacher in his prime would stack up against Bruce Lee.

Good call. What was I thinking? The movie is pretty realistic, so I forget sometimes.

What cracked me up about those movies is how seriously these guys took some silly Karate tournament. Especially in the 3rd one, where they go to immensely elaborate measures just to get Danny to even go to the tournament so their student can take his title. They beat him and his girlfriend up, break into his home, follow him through the woods and dangle him over a cliff, Terry Silver poses as a nice guy and "trains" him to betray Mr. Miyagi, all so they can win a match against him in the Valley tournament. Unbelievable. I mean, I love watching the Karate Kid trilogy. But they are really hysterical.
Yeah that seems stupid until you hear about stories that actually occurred. I don't remember all the details but there was a case in Texas in the '90's where the mother of a high school cheeleader arranged to have the mother of rival cheerleader murdered. She did this to psychologically damage the rival cheerlader prior to tryouts.
