The Karate Kid/YMMV

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.
Memetic Mutation: Many things, most famously the Crane Kick in the sunset image. But some of the dialogue has achieved that point as well.

"Get him a body-bag! Ye-heah!"

"Sweep the leg."

"Johnny, you're a cream puff!"

"Banzai!"

"Daniel-san."

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

Moral Event Horizon: Chozen crosses this by refusing to help Daniel save a child's life during a storm. Just in case nobody got it, in the finale he holds a knife to Kimiko's throat and punches her lights out.
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.

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.
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.
