I recently watched the original Karate Kid film and immediately remembered the scene of Chang auditioning for the play. Jason Mantzoukas' role as the director is gold.

KARATE KID gives Danny the victory in spite of a completely illegal kick to the face.

Dec 21, 2021 · Karate Kid 1 & 2 were good, 3 was okay, The Next Karate Kid sucked, and the one with Jackie Chan I didn't even watch because it's not karate and I didn't want the franchise to be ruined for me.
