The karate Kid movie slice

“Get ‘em in a body bag, Johnny!” is probably the greatest ADR line in cinema history. It comes from The Karate Kid, the 1984 film that transposed a Rocky sensibility to young adults and kicking people in the face. The film was so successful it spawned a franchise and now a reboot. At the time, the story of Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) and his teacher Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) was a phenomenon in that it was a legitimate word of mouth hit and it’s easy to see why. The first sequel capitalized well on that goodwill, delivering a similar but different take on the first film. After that, not so much, but my review of The Karate Kid and The Karate Kid Part II on Blu-ray after the jump.
