This doesn't get enough recognition


Now that its officially Halloween month, this is my favorite and go to movie to watch during the Halloween season every year. Yup, its my favorite Halloween movie

If you want to categorize The Karate Kid I'd call it a "Back To school" movie. The events of the movie take place with Daniel starting school in the Valley and ends with the Karate Tournament around Christmas time.

The movie ends on December 19th, so it really can't be categorized as christmas movie. But the Halloween thing is legit as far as it containing halloween.

Yes, exactly. When this movie gets its next reboot, I wish they'd make it even more of a Halloween theme. How cool would it be if the sensai for Cobra Kai is also a vampire and only gives his karate lessons at night. Instead of that wimpy fight between the sensai and Miyagi at the beginning of part 2, I'd love to see a karate master take on a karate vampire

I disagree. This movie has nothing to do with the Rodney Dangerfield movie, Back to School. Different movie universe
