The CinePearl Take

The Karate Kid is a 1980s English film that blends romance, martial arts and teen — expect longing, devotion and relationships tested by circumstance and fight sequences built on skill and training. John G. Avildsen directs and the script comes from Robert Mark Kamen. Todd Lookinland and Israel Juarbe are among the leads. Made in United States, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1984, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 126 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
