Without looking at this through nostalgic eyes, this has all the hallmarks of a pretty average 80s teen film and the resolution is never in doubt. Apart from Macchio, the acting from the other teens in this film is poor, which affects the theme of bullying that the film is trying to address. But once Mr Miyagi enters the film, it becomes something else entirely and the relationship that's explored between Miyagi and Daniel is the heart of the film and still resonates.

Put him in a body bag Johnny! How can you not want to learn Karate after watching this movie as a kid!
