Karate Kid, Daniel Larusso, risks losing it all when he places pride before principle in this dramatic film that reunites stars Ralph Macchio and Noriyuki "Pat" Morita. When Daniel (Macchio) decides not to compete in the upcoming karate championship, he becomes the target of vicious Cobra Kai student, Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan), who's determined to win the title back. Standing firm, Daniel's mentor and trainer, Mr. Miyagi (Morita), instructs him to ignore Mike's threats - and stay away from the tournament. But when Mike's relentless abuse escalates into blackmail, Daniel finds himself forced into competition - and at serious odds with Miyagi, the one person he cherishes most. Desperate, Daniel turns to another karate instructor, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), whose violent combat techniques are directly opposed to Miyagi's wise instruction. But when Daniel realizes that Terry and Mike are allied with Mr Miyagi's old nemesis, Kreese (Martin Kove), in an elaborate set-up for revenge, he also knows he has alienated the only person who can help him. A riveting story of independence, inner strength and self enlightenment, THE KARATE KID, Part III is a powerful new chapter in this popular series of films.

I never get tired of Mike Barnes cursing and yelling at Daniel, it’s friggin hilarious. He’s literally the Clubber Lang of KK/Cobra Kai series

""It's OK to lose to opponent ....Must not lose to Fear"" Always solid advice !!

[SuperGamingeek]

Barnes: *literally pulls out a gun and shoots his opponent*

Ref: Alright son! One more move like that and you're disqualified!

Pat Morita from a stand-up comedian to such a convincing and engaging actor, he should have won an Oscar.

That music & Mr. Miyagi's speech about confronting fear is what made this scene so great.

[cariocajin]

4:27 " It's OK to lose to opponent.. Must not lose to fear!"
"You stay focused! Daniel san, your best Karate still inside... Now time let out!"
This is TIMELESS! Everyone has a fighting spirit dormant inside. We just need a "Mr. Myagi" to bring it out... This is not only the true meaning of martial arts, but the true meaning of facing any difficulties in life. Thank you for the reminder! Thank you for your lessons....

[bekindandmerciful]

The way Mr Myagi shouted when he needed to. He treated Daniel like the son he lost and needed.

[TJLucas-xqro]

I tear up every time I see/hear Mr Miyagi's speeches😪
This is so true to heart it's unshakeable.
His words are life...Believe!

Really enjoyed watching Daniels reaction after winning... He tried to keep his composure and bow to his teacher, but the sheer joy of overcoming his fears compelled him to simply say "Forgetaboutit!" as he jumped into Miyagi's arms... that was awesome...

5:02 Daniel’s thoughts at this point: “Insult me all you want but don’t you DARE insult Mr. Miyagi or his karate!”

Karate Kid/Cobra Kai is legit up there as one of the best franchises in the American history of cinema.

I Never noticed it before, but look at the way Barnes looks over to Silver when Daniel is in genuine agony at 3:30. It's like he was thinking "Dude, I think he's had enough. Do I really have to keep hurting him?"
Also notice how afterwards when Daniel is hurting and reaching his back, Barnes doesn't attack that area again and instead goes for the chest - and when Daniel is hurting there and reaches his chest, Barnes changes tactics again and goes for his side. He was careful not to attack spots where Daniel was really hurting.
A subtle sign of his eventual redemption in Cobra Kai.

Even Kreese stopped smiling when Daniel was in great pain. Silver was the only one that kept smiling and enjoying it.

Barnes was a bad guy, Kreese was a badder guy, but Silver was (and still is) evil.

[roycegrissett]

Absolutely love that line... It s ok to lose to opponent but not lose to fear! A very true expression that is timeless. When Mijagi got serious and needed to get Daniel's attention he ALWAYS GOT IT! Daniel knew he had better listen to his mentor. I tear up everytime I hear this exchange between the two.

[tlewilson]

When "Mr. Myagi" yells boy that even had me back in focus!

[JMHall]

Having Mike Barnes in Cobra Kai was a real treat, he stole the show when he was on screen. Let’s hope he becomes a season regular in 6

[leecroft]

My god, the old movies have so much heart and charm to them. Just 👌🏻

[howardjeddore]

4:52-5:25 best motivational speech ever. If this doesn't get you fired up to prove him wrong, nothing will.

[hunterofcamas]

This was the best scene in the whole movie. It brings a smile to my face seeing Daniel overcome his fear and almost one-shot Mike Barnes in sudden death. For years I wondered why Barnes was never disqualified for the illegal hits on Daniel. In Cobra Kai season 4, we learn that Terry Silver paid the ref to be biased towards Cobra Kai so that Tory would beat Sam in the finals. Since Terry was also rich in kk3, it's very likely he paid the ref prior to this scene so that it would be easier to prolong Daniel's suffering. He even said to Barnes "Remember the Game plan" before the match started. This could mean they planned this all out before the tournament. It all makes sense now. The fact Daniel won the tournament even though the ref was paid by Cobra Kai is mind blowing.

"You stay focused!! Daniel-san your best karate still inside! Now time let was an Ascended Master, great hand gesture in that scene.

[adamskawesker]

I like how it's only when Barnes starts ragging on Mr. Miyagi that Daniel finds the will to get up.
Daniel: He's owned me this whole fight. I can get up, but I can't see myself winning...
Barnes: Your teacher's sh*t!
Daniel: Aw HELL naw!!
