THE KARATE KID

Ralph Macchio, Noriyuki "Pat" Morita,
Elizabeth Shue, Martin Kove

Columbia Pictures; Directed by John G. Avildsen

Rated PG (For bullying, martial arts action violence, and some mild language)

127 minutes; 1984

Ralph Macchio stars in this warm and wonderful film as the perennial 98-pound weakling who turns the tables on his tormentors. A finely choreographed karate film, THE KARATE KID also shows that humor, courage, pride, and beliefs are what really matter in disagreements.
