"Strike First. Strike Hard. No Mercy."
With a harrowing year now behind us, what a way to literally crane kick our way into the new year first, hard, and showing no mercy by diving into the 1984 underdog classic, The Karate Kid!
So welcome back to another leg-sweeping, crane-kicking, New Years kick-off episode of THE FILM SNARKS!! Thank you for choosing our movie discussion dojo once more as we wax on and wax off about our favorite and classic movies to find out if they still have a place in modern pop culture.
We've all had that moment of truth at some point in our lives, and Daniel LaRusso, a wimp from New Jersey with a chip on his shoulder, finds himself in a strange land with the odds stacked against him. Will he go from zero to hero and fight the good fight, win the girl, and command the respect of his bullies?
We're gonna find out, as this episode is not for the weak. We show no mercy on this podcast!
And with this film's sequel series, Cobra Kai, now in its third season, the time is right to find out if the original The Karate Kid was a product of its time, or if it is still the reigning All Valley Champ as the best around!!
Happy New Year and BANZAI!!!
