What an ace film! I totally missed it as a child and only got round to seeing it now as a 30 year old adult. I didn't think I'd like it as i only saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off (and few other 80's classics) in the last year or so and wasn't what all the fuss was about. The Karate K...( read more)

A classic 80s movie with a definite feel-good beat. Ralph Macchio's character is likable and relatable; the underdog whom you want to see triumph in the end. There's some pretty amusing lines throughout, plus some memorable characters too. Daniel dressing up as a shower has to be...( read more)
