The Karate Kid/YMMV

YMMVs for the original film series:
""Get him a body-bag! Ye-heah!"
 * Awesome Music: "You're the best, around, nothing's ever gonna keep you down!"
 * Bill Conti's score deserves mention also. Including the main theme derived from Survivor's "Moment of Truth." Survivor had the freakin' market cornered on rousing 80's anthems.
 * Not to mention "Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera.
 * Complete Monster: Kreese, Mr. "A man faces you, he is the enemy, an enemy deserves no mercy."
 * Terry Silver from the third film is just as bad, if not worse.
 * Memetic Mutation: Many things, most famously the Crane Kick in the sunset image. But some of the dialogue has achieved that point as well.

"Sweep the leg."

"Johnny, you're a cream puff!"

"Banzai!"

"Daniel-san."

And of course, "Wax On, Wax Off.""


 * Moral Event Horizon:
 * Narm Charm: Glory of Love would've been a super ultra narmy and cheesy love song that Tastes Like Diabetes... if it wasn't performed by a pro like Peter Cetera, who makes it really charming.

YMMVs for the 2010 remake:

 * Awesome Music: About midway through the film, a Mandarin version of "Dirty Harry" by Gorillaz can be heard. Commence scooping up the pieces of your mind now.
 * The score is by James Horner, that's right, the same guy who scored Avatar, The Land Before Time, An American Tail, Titanic, and Willow.
 * Complete Monster: Perhaps not as flashy as some, but Master Li teaches children to savagely beat each other into unconsciousness. The definition of child abuse is too restricted.
 * He Really Can Act: Jackie Chan plays a dramatic role surprisingly well.
 * Fans initially scoffed when they heard that Jaden Smith was playing the Daniel-san Expy, accusing Will Smith of nepotism. However, Jaden's performance was also praised.
 * Toy Ship: Both Dre and his crush Mei Ying are both around 12 years old.
