The Karate Kid/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Daniel breaking the sheets of ice in the second movie.
    • Made all the more awesome when Mr. Miyagi comes in and it seems like he's going to bail Daniel out. He is told that the odds are 3 to 1 that Daniel can't do it... and promptly bets six hundred dollars that he can.
  • Mr. Miyagi has too many Moments of Awesome to count though, at least three per movie.
  • The crane kick was originally a Moment of Awesome but due to Memetic Mutation it has become comical.
  • The scene where Miyagi demonstrates the usefulness of Wax On, Wax Off.
  • Mr Miyagi's Ironic Echo of Kreese's words, before tweaking Kreese's nose and humiliating him in front of all his students.
  • Chozen may be a horrible person, but he's the only Karate Kid Villain to strike a blow on Miyagi during his fight with him.
  • Daniel exposing Chozen's scheme. Early on he was helping Ichrio carry his carrots to the market Chozen runs. During an accident with the scales, Daniel discovers fake weights Chozen was using to cheat people out of their hard earned money. This in turn causes the villagers to revolt and shame him. While it may have started their feud, it was awesome none the less.
