MrsMe Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Can anyone remember the original karate kid movie? I need to know the language in it and can no longer find a review. Can anyone help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Do you mean does it have any curse words or anything in it? I can't remember but if you look it up on Netflix it says: Rated PG for mild violence, "ok for kids aged 12+" But then again, when I look at some of the member reviews on there, one person said: "Good movie. Rating says that its ok for 12+. That is insane considering all the bad language in this movie." and somebody else said: " Not a good movie for younger kids. some swearing, bad guy rolling joint in bathroom stall and drinking. But wiht that being said I think this is a good movie for preteen/ teens and a good teaching tool. Its a good movie to boot!" Most people gave it good reviews. I don't even remember any of that stuff. I loved that movie lol. And what a crush I had on Ralph Macchio! Maybe not as much as when he was in The Outsiders (I think I had a crush on EVERY actor in The Outsiders) but yeah, loved The Karate Kid back when :D (I think I was like 13-14).

I know what you are talking about! Ralph was my FAVORITE! I agree about the Outsiders as well! Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, C.

Jen+4dc Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 We recently previewed it wondering if we could show it to the kids. Nope, in addition to what pp have said it also has the scene where Mr. Miyagi (sp) is drinking, mourning the anniversary of his family's death and he gives some alcohol to Daniel (underage) and he drinks it. Too bad because it's a great movie! (And yes, I had a crush on Ralph Macchio;)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idnib Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 You're welcome. I love that review site because it breaks down the ratings by subject and gives concrete examples. Also it has talking points for the parents to discuss with the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
