KARATE KID
(NEWPORT MARTIAL ARTS will provide a demonstration prior to the screening. This year’s team of twelve is comprised of students of all ranks – white through black belt – ranging in age from 5 to 20 who are working to learn focus, self-discipline, as well as self-defense like “Daniel-san.”)
Newly arrived in California from New Jersey, teenager Daniel (Ralph Macchio) almost immediately runs afoul of karate-trained high school bullies. He is rescued by Japanese janitor Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita), who agrees to teach Daniel how to harness karate for good instead of brutality. The film culminates in a championship karate bout, pitting Daniel against his sworn enemy Johnny (William Zabka) — the cruel and thuggish boyfriend of Ali (Elisabeth Shue), with whom Daniel has fallen in love (and vice versa). 126 minutes; PG; 1984.
