Celebrate the 35th anniversary of the coming-of-age classic - from Academy Awards-winning director John G. avidsen (1976, Rocky) - that will live you cheering! There is more to karate than fighting. This is the lesson that Daniel (Ralph Machio), a San Fernando Valley teenager, is about to learn from a most unexpected teacher: Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita in his academy award nominate performance, Best supporting actor, 1984) and elderly handyman who also happens to be master of the martial arts. His training and these vital lessons will be called into play when an outmatched Daniel faces Johnny (William Zabka), the skilled leader of the Kobra Kai - a vicious gang of Karate School bullets - in a no-holds-barred karate tournaments for the championship of the valley.
