Pat Morita's Mr. Miyagi was lovable, believable, and hilarious. Karate Kid actually has a lot of comedy to it despite it's story of Daniel-Son moving into a new town and having a run in with the local Blond, stuck up yuppie karate guy gang leader from the Cobra-Kai school. Daniel-Son makes the mistake of flirting with the bad ass, karate stud, gang leaders girlfriend, and gets himself nearly beaten to death before being saved by his new apartments maintenance man. This meeting begins a friendship and a mission to train Daniel-Son to win the Karate tournament against the preppy white boy gang from Cobra-Kai and regain his honor.
