Описание: The Karate Kid (1984): 15 Weird Facts You Didn't Know

#rememberwhen The Karate Kid taught us that painting fences could turn you into a tournament champ? The 1984 classic made Ralph Macchio a star, gave Pat Morita an Oscar nomination, and convinced an entire generation that balance was everything.
