Mary vs the Movies

Episode 250 – The Karate Kid (1984)

Happy 250th episode, Mary and Dennis!! 🎉🎉🎉

Dennis's alt text: Ralph Macchio balances on one foot with his hands in the air as the dastardly Cobra Kai Johnny prepares his attack. My addition: they are at a competition with a red-shirted ref between them and a shocking amount of people on the bleachers behind them

Danny’s an underdog, a poor Jersey boy suddenly dropped into Southern California, where he romances a rich girl and earns the wrath of her martial-arts-practicing bully of an ex. What’s a boy to do, other than get the local handyman to teach him how to fight?

We celebrate our 250th episode with a movie Dennis loves and Mary remembered nothing about.

Starring Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue and William Zabka. Written byRobert Mark Kamen. Directed by John G. Avildsen.
