"The Karate Kid" is a terrific sports movie that was marred ... then crossing their arms and laughing like cartoon villains at him ("HAH HAHA HAH HAH!") before Miyagi saves the day.

In the 1980s and '90s in particular, tie-in cartoons and toy lines became the de facto business model for any movie kids might get excited about. Robots? Monsters? Even a little bit of karate?

Ralph Macchio might be saying goodbye to Cobra Kai, but he's ready for the next era of the Karate Kid franchise.

The Karate Kid’s Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) is the quintessential ’80s villain. You didn’t attend high school with thee Johnny Lawrence, but everyone knows a Johnny Lawrence.

Daniel will somehow cross paths with Mr. Han, the instructor from 2010’s The Karate Kid remake played by Jackie Chan, and the two of them will head to the East Coast and train a boy from China.
