The Karate Kid (1984)

Today on Rye Smile Films, Matt and Jesse close the "Summer Tentpole Hall of Fame" cask with one final entry from 1984, The Karate Kid. Journey with us as we breakdown everything from the unique training sequence to the film's iconic antagonist. Does this film still hold up or should we just sweep the leg on this one? Our Flight for the week is ranking of the summer box office champs from the 80s. We wrap up this episode with a Nightcap that discusses which films would be best suited for a television show. So pour yourself some Rye, clip your bonsai tree, and get ready to wax on and wax off. Cheers!
