The Karate Kid (John G. Avildsen, 1984)

Summary: 105 - We are hitting some SERIOUS territory here. It's always a little scary when we go back and revisit something so beloved - but hey that's podcasting babyyyyyyy - and this week it's The Karate Kid. We've all seen it. We all like it, but there is a lot to talk about - including the the whereabouts of Ralph Macchio between My Cousin Vinny and Cobra Kai, the unbelievable life story of Pat Morita aka Noriyuki Morita aka Mr Miyagi - and perhaps the most mind-blowing of all - how this movie is sorta kinda based on a true story.
