Avildsen and written by Robert Mark Kamen, starring Ralph Macchio, Noriyuki "Pat" Morita and Elisabeth Shue. It is a martial arts film, and an underdog story in the mold of a previous success, Avildsen's 1976 film Rocky.

One of the best teen movies of the 80's. Pat Morita is great as Miyagi. This film spawned one of the best catch phrases of all time with "wax on, wax off!"

Like Termy mentioned, its one of the best movies from the 80s and probably underdog movies. Catch phrases galore and its sometimes nice to watch a martial arts movie without all the gimmacky moves
9.1/10

Re: The Karate Kid (1984) "Wax-on, Wax-off", this movie is great from start to finish. Pat Morita is brilliant as Miyagi in here. There have been so many underdog stories after this but it holds on its own to this day and easily better than the 2010 reboot. The student-teacher relationship has never been explored better than this movie. Ralph Macchio and Elisabeth Shue are wonderful together, I wish both of them specially later had better careers.
