For those who have never seen (!!!!) The Karate Kid, check out a montage of the film's tournament scene, which uses the full version of "You're the Best," after the break.

Indeed, it is awesome. I wonder if they will incorporate the carnage after Will Smith and his son piss all over the classic. http://www.boston.com/ae/celebrity/articles/2007/10/02/will_smiths_karate_kid/

I haven't been so pissed ever since I saw Mercutio portrayed as a Fried Chicken Eating African American With A Big Ass Afro in Romeo + Julliet.
Not that I'd make that shitty movie any better...

Joe Esposito is ageless, in his telling of good vs evil in "You're the Best". He is the minstrel of the 80's weaving sweet sounds of courage with timeless riffs of awesomeness.
Now if only we could get Peter Cetera's classic "Glory of Love"! The Heroic Ballad seemingly written by Hercules, King Arthur, and Solomon delivered to us on the feather wings of angels, my life would be complete.

I'm glad they dropped it for Rocky. They would have been bad. Perfect for Daniel-San though.

I tried going after one for a month and she was the biggest effing tease ever. I consulted with a couple of friends that they had experienced the same kind of cock-tease with Asian thus, I came to that conclusion. I'm guessing you had better luck.... man that 10 years ago already?

On a serious note. I think that the Karate Kid movies are a terrible representation of GoJu Ryu Karate as the movie never really featured any Kata's. As well as Daniel San's fighting stance would be laughed at in any tournament I have ever been in. He looks like how Mort Goldman from Family guy would fight. All scared and mega defensive n shit. Two, I am NOT a fan of Ippon Kumite. :D

When I watched this video the first time yesterday I was at work and couldn't hear it, so I didn't know what all the fuss was about. I watched it again with headphones on today. Now I get it. I really really get it. I'm so pumped.
