The Karate Kid: Crane Kick Final Fight Scene (Ralph Macchio, William Zabka) 

A wide eyed Ralph Macchio in that crane stance is one of Hollywood's most iconic images.

R.I.P. Pat Marita. A.K.A. Mr.Miyagi

KARATE “ROCKY” ！

I was -20 when this came out 😂 bc I’m 19

After rewatching this scene, Caruso has always been a weaker actor in terms of fighting compared to jonhy who is really skilled😊

They don't make em like this no more. Amazing movie

Lots of people cheered in theaters when Daniel won.

"Get him a body bag!" Lol. 80's movie magic.

It almost looks like Johnny is about to cry when he takes the trophy to hand it to Daniel I’m an 80’s kid and the karate kid was watched in my house countless times incredible

Daniel acknowledging Mr. Miyagi at the end and his approval still brings tears to my eyes.

Johnny's handing the trophy was a class move and showed he saw different to his teacher.

The Karate Kid trilogy was a damn good trilogy, but Cobra Kai was amazing! The final season of Cobra Kai is gonna be amazing! But the fact that Johnny was reluctant to “sweep the leg”, he was losing faith in his Kreese. But then Johnny handing Daniel the trophy and saying “You’re alright LaRouso.”

4:16 the ref's reaction to Daniel doing the crane. "What the hell is he doing that for?" 😂

I love how Johnny ask if Daniel was okay and that was a great match.

My favorite point in the entire movie...Daniel saying "WE DID IT!" and the look on Miyagi's face at 04:56.

As a professional martial arts sensei with 32 years of experience, I can confirm this scene is as real as it gets.

After I saw the Karate Kid I started parting my hair like Daniel, and I went on to get my black belt. This movie had a big influence on me. Thanks Ralph.

In 4:57 in miyagis left eye you can see a small tear rolling down his face before it’s cut to black

I saw the movie in the 1980s when i was a kid. My father wanted me to see it as i was being continuously bullied at school. I was training in Tae Kwon Do. He wanted me to see what happens when the 'good guy wins' and gains confidence. I was able to turn it around for me eventually.

The Radom fan yelling “You’re a cream puff Johnny”…,y favorite moment.

I was there with my pops and yes the theater went crazy! They cheered every time Daniel scored a point on Johnny and then erupted when he scored the final point

Best thing about 80s movies - they knew when to end! Just as you're rushing on the high of the final moment. So good.

Contest by points. He played smart. Not strong like what Lawrence did.

I wish I saw this in theaters.

4:24 It never gets old 🔥

Nobody talks about how fake Daniel’s friends are. They made fun of him when he got beat up by Johnny at the beach, yet they come running up to congratulate him when he wins the tournament 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

3:44 The actor Ralph Macchio actually tells really quick to the other one which leg he is going to use for the performance touching it with his hand xD

One of the greatest endings in movie 🎬 history 👏

Man cobra Kai is amazing show, crazy to think it wouldn’t have existed if it weren’t for that kick

Daniel won the trophy and more important their respect👍

Imagine doing the crane kick in a real Tournament and actually winning.

I have seen some debates about this movie in the comments about the crane kick being illegal and that Daniel was not the first to win the tournament back to back. If you watch the movie, Ali tells Daniel before his first match “ everything above the waist is a point, the head, the sternum, the kidneys, and the ribs”. Clearly the crane kick is to Johnny’s head , so it is legal. Regarding Daniel being the first back to back winner, that is also true. Before the final match, the announcer mentions that Johnny Lawrence is the defending champ and a 2 time winner of the tournament. That language clearly indicates that Johnny won the tournament last year but did not win 2 years in a row, otherwise the announcer would have identified Johnny as the 2 time defending champ not the defending champ. So Johnny ( who is a senior in high school) won last year and lost the previous year and most likely won his freshman year in high school. Therefore , Daniel is the first to win the tournament 2 years in a row.

Fans after seeing the karate kid: I want Daniel to win Fans after seeing cobra Kai: I wanted Johnny to win

Finally BEST STUDENTS ARE PRODUCT OF BEST TEACHERS/MASTERS! LOVE YOU DANIEL!!! CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!

It was an absolute honour to live through the 80s , kids today have no idea

I still remember watching this with sis Carol. That must be 1984??

This is an awesome fight. Love the movie

This scene inspired me to take martial arts.

I was at a youth center working one day. A group of kids were watching this on a huge TV. They were really into it. When Daniel won, they let out this huge YAY!!! WHOOO HOOOO. A bunch of kindergarten kids. It was so genuine and wholesome it was awesome. Love this movie

the kick will live on forever!

They both put on an good show and good fights

Totally inspirational...the underlying message here is as powerful as it gets.

I am pleased to have watched this film he sorted the bullies out loved it had me in tears when he won

4:53 this always has me feel how Mr Miyagi is like a father to Daniel and it’s just so amazing 🥲

it’s so obvious johnny was more skilled and the better fighter. he dominated this fight

4:55 gotta love Mr. Miyagi’s smile at the end!

I remember finding this dvd in the dirt when I was dumping some yard waste and I picked it up. Man what a great movie.

This a classic forever

Johnny always had that street fighter style. Absolutely preferred it.

PLEASE UPLOAD THE BEACH SCENE (Day and night)

Johny Lawrence energy is crazy❤❤😮❤

I love the way Mr. Mariga (spelling I am sorry) teaches him by doing chores.... It helped me feel good about whatever I am doing, because it can make me stronger and more focused.

One thing that bothers me about this... Everyone says Daniel should have been disqualified for the crane kick because kicks to the face are illegal, but Johnny scores his first point with a kick to the face, and earlier in the tournament, Duitch is shown scoring a point against Daniel with a klick to the face... So I guess kicks to the face are only illegal if the hero does it...

Such an epic moment.

Classic

BEST FILM!!!!!

We know Mr. Miyagi is smiling and nodding down at Daniel in the TV show

2:50 - "Kick to the side" WHERE?!

❤😂😊🎉

great pulsating music when Daniel kicks him via crane

I. Love you

Chozen breaks the crane kick

Moments like this is what movies of the 80s were about. The struggles, the pain. The heart. The respect. Those motivational endings. They just can't seem to write films like this today.

Wow will never forget that’s at the movies 1984 I believe - Brazil - people left the theatre all excited good memories the 80s

ELE SOUBE PERDER BELA ATITUDE

I threw my drink at the screen when he won

Get him a body bag😂 I love that guy.

Melhor filme que assisti na minha vida.

There's more to the story 🩲🔨🩲

Loved this movie each episode was very enjoyable. Each actor was his best performance.

One of my fondest memories was when my Grandma dropped me off at the theater when this came out... What was I, maybe 10? But, it was awesome.. In todays times, I wouldn't leave my kid at theatre.

3:15 How he got up like that, so quicky, is the most impressive part.

Ver a carinha do seu myagui no final do torneio foi uma das cenas mais emocionantes do final. Parabéns ao saudoso PAT MORITA. 🙏🇧🇷

One of the best movies in history period …

Johnny really wasnt a bad guy. The end told us that long before Cobra Kai came along.

Why don't they use this technique in the UFC? Seems highly effective.

I get a kick out of watching this scene.

The moment Johnny looked back at Creese and stared at Daniel as if he seen a resurrection, he was mentally defeated ..first in the subconscious then the devastation begins

Johnny nose bleeding 1:35

Seriously, I’m confused. Is face contact allowed or not allowed?

Daniel vs Johnny the match for the ages

Larusso karate kid 1 miyagi ❤❤

Tommy carried this scene

At around 2:00, Johnny realizes for the first time that sensei is playing for keeps and this isn't just a game of bullying when he replies "No sensei." The character, for the first time, truly sees this for the evil it's become. Great writing and fantastic acting by Marty Kove and Bill Zabka!

O cinema era mágico nesse tempo.

Hello, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

Right so Daniel gets dropped 70 times and keeps fighting. Then Daniel does how little gay toe flick and his enemy gets up immediately but isn't allowed to continue 😂 giant pile of turd

4:53-5:00 emotional joy!!

I've sparred before in taekwondo and learned facial contact is a no-no, but only if it's your fist. If it's with your foot, i.e. any kick, that's allowed. Make it make sense, anyone?

Film zaman Q SD nie nonton di SCTV era 90 an

Sorry to burst your bubbles, that was an illegal kick to the face! LoL Yes I’m one of those ppl siding with Johnny. If you go way back, it was Daniel that made a move on Johnny’s gf at the beach, yes he beat the crap out of him. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t react if some a-hole tries to hit on your gf?! The bathroom incident, who started it? Miyagi was the X factor, you don’t see Kreese beating up Daniel. But it’s ok a master beats up the opposing side’s students? LoL I’m j/k with my theories! My kids also loved the crane kick and considered Johnny to be the bully. I’m like are you sure he’s the real bully?? 😂

"WE DID IT MR. MIAGIII"!!!!!!!!;) 🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤💕❤️❤❤❤-GREAT MOVIE,Even with the cheesy 80s music;)☺️

Mitico Ralph!!!!!

Valeu Daniel

As an author I can confirm the hero kid was going to win this match.

Johnny is Ken from Street Fighter. But i never noticed hiw good his acting is, look at the bow, it says everything about his character.

The Karate Kid movies are laughable to everyone but the typical 5th grade kid -

You could tell when this had been broadcast on TV - the next day at school, all the boys were trying out the crane kick in the playground.
