Daniel and his mother move from New Jersey to California. She has a wonderful new job, but Daniel quickly discovers that a dark haired Italian boy with a Jersey accent doesn't fit into the blond surfer crowd. Daniel manages to talk his way out of some fights, but he is finally cornered by several who belong to the same karate school. As Daniel is passing out from the beating he sees Miyagi, the elderly gardener leaps into the fray and save him by outfighting half a dozen teenagers. Miyagi and Daniel soon find out the real motivator behind the boys' violent attitude in the form of their karate teacher. Miyagi promises to teach Daniel karate and arranges a fight at the all-valley tournament some months off. When his training begins, Daniel doesn't understand what he is being shown. Miyagi seems more interested in having Daniel paint fences and wax cars than teaching him Karate.
不被时间淘汰的励志片。学会是为了不会。主要是Peter Cetera最后唱的那首歌。小学一年级的时候看的影片,现在再看一遍泪流满面。1984年的老电影,还是不错的。用现在眼光看太多套路了。空手道比赛/人生成功方程式=纯洁心性+朴素哲学+刻苦训练。不错的电影。经典只是不做作。
