MR MIYAGI FLY MOVIE

It takes Daniel a while to learn this lesson. Lesson – Protecting a potential love interest is a noble act, although Ali clearly thinks this fight was pointless and isn’t impressed, sometimes it’s best to walk away.

Daniel’s early flirtations with Karate prove no match and in an effort to impress Ali (oh Elisabeth Shue how we pined) he promptly gets his ass handed to him. Cornered by some bad boy karate students who’ve taken a dislike for this skinny new kid in town.

And if you’re not tempted to dust down the old VHS recorder upon reading this, then we’re not doing our job properly.Īn early scene in the movie sees our Italian-American hero Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) being introduced to his future nemeses in a brutal and devastating manner. Yep here’s our rundown of 10 life lessons learned from The Karate Kid. So in homage to The Karate Kid, the 80’s and of course Mr Miyagi (the late great Pat Morita), we bring you some pearls of wisdom from this classic underdog film. We are of course talking about the 1984 masterpiece The Karate Kid – a film littered with so many earnest and sincere life lessons, it was enough to make impressionable teens the world over respect their elders, never shy away from a bit of hard work and also initiate a burning desire to become a martial art expert! A film that would have such a profound effect, it would bring back pangs of nostalgia at the merest hint of some classic 80s music, a shiny new mountain bike, a wooden fence in need of a lick of paint, or even the sight of chopsticks down the local Chinese. Well, this particular group were fortunate enough at a tender and susceptible age to be exposed to, in The MALESTROM’s opinion, one of the greatest films ever made. Who are these men and why do they harbour this knowledge? There are, out in the big wide world a whole generation of men who unwittingly carry with them a wisdom and understanding that has been a prominent part of their life from the age of somewhere between 5 and 15 yrs old.
