Daniel moves to Los Angeles from the east coast and is bullied by the Cobras, a menacing gang of karate students, when he strikes up a relationship with Ali, the Cobra leader's ex-girlfriend. Eager to fight back and impress his new girlfriend but afraid to confront the dangerous gang, Daniel asks his handyman Miyagi, whom he learns is a master of the martial arts, to teach him karate. Miyagi teaches Daniel that karate is a mastery over the self, mind, and body and that fighting is always the last answer to a problem. Under Miyagi's guidance, Daniel develops not only physical skills but also the faith and self-confidence to compete despite tremendous odds as he encounters the fight of his life.

English I happened to see Karate Kid on TV the other day, and I watched it to the end to my own surprise. The film is disgustingly predictable, naïve, and generally unconvincing, yet I’m giving it three stars. 1* Mr. Miyagi, 2* – Elisabeth Shue, 3* – desperate nostalgia. ()
