HKFlix Says:	Yes, it's dated! Yes, it's cheesy! But it's also an '80s classic which rightly earned comedian Pat Morita an Academy Award nomination for the breakout dramatic performance which would later define him.
Avg. Rating:	4 / 5 (based on 1 rating). What did you think of it?
Plot:	Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) is an elderly handyman and unlikely martial arts master who rescues young Daniel (Ralph Macchio) from a gang of karate-tastic bullies, and proceeds to teach him karate so he can defend himself and his honor.

Overview:	From Academy Award-winning director (1976, "Rocky") John G. Avildsen comes the highly entertaining, coming-of-age classic that will leave you cheering! Starring Ralph Macchio and Noriyuki "Pat" Morita in his Academy Award-nominated performance (1984, Best Supporting Actor) as Mr. Miyagi. There is more to karate than fighting. This is the lesson that Daniel (Macchio), a San Fernando Valley teenager, is about to learn from a most unexpected teacher: Mr. Miyagi (Morita), an elderly handyman who also happens to be a master of the martial arts. So when he rescues Daniel from the Cobra Kai, a vicious gang of karate school bullies, Miyagi instills in his young friend the importance of honor and confidence as well as skills in self-defense, vital lessons that will be called into play when a hopelessly outclassed Daniel faces Johnny, the sadistic leader of the Cobra Kai, in a no-holds-barred karate tournament for the championship of the Valley.
