Talk:The Karate Kid

message: Corrected the use of terms such as "dojo" and "sensei" when discussing Laimon's Cobra Kai gym in Vegas.  Such terms have no meaning in BJJ and MMA, and are not used.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.71.15 (talk) 06:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Is this page written in a standard Wikipedia style?  It reads somewhat unlike most others.

thread_title: Style?

message: Is it really the place of an encyclopedia to point out continuity errors in the film?  Especially somewhat irrelevant ones (i.e. the direction of the radio during the fight scene?) Probably more at home on IMDB than here
I liked the "errors" section.  Yea, it's a classic, but it's also interesting to hear about stuff that you don't normally hear about every day.  207.157.121.50 07:04, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

message: On the Mr Miyagi page it states that the character has died. Where in The Karate Kid canon does it mention Mr Miyagi's death? And, is there a significant The Karate Kid canon outside of the films? --Bentonia School 16:52, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I propose that a link be added to the original, non-commercial Karate Kid site at www.fast-rewind.com/kkid/
It seems a significant omission?

message: Why is The Karate Kid listed in :Category:Films based on newspaper and magazine articles? There's nothing here that says it was based on a newspaper or magazine article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly, there is an unusual link to a cheap-looking website for "the real Karate Kid" with no explanation whatsoever. I will delete this link; please justify its inclusion before replacing it. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 14:46, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Karate Kid - "The Real McCoy" 

message: The article states that Miyagi won the Medal of Honor.  In the film, when Daniel finds the medal and holds it up and looks at it, he looks at it and reads the word "valor".  I don't know much about military medals, but if it says "valor" on it, doesn't that mean it is the Medal of Valor?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.124.108.224 (talk) 21:51, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question, but there are many military medals given out for valor and if you goto the Medal of Honor page you will see that the medal itself in some of its forms had the word "valor" on it. I think we can keep the statement as is. Ckruschke (talk) 14:37, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: ‎I have to disagree. There is no such Army award named "Medal of Valor" and its capitalization denotes a proper noun. The medal depicted in this movie's scene is specifically the Medal of Honor. While there are various military awards given for valor, such as the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Distinguished Service Cross, as illustrated here‎, only the nation's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, has the word "Valor" inscribed thereon. So I've changed the wording accordingly, with a wikilink. In so doing, this article will also be consistent with this section of Miyagi's fictional bio.  JGHowes   talk 15:49, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Since the movie was filmed in 1983 and released in mid 1984, shouldn’t the plot actually take place during the latter part of 1983 instead of 1984 as stated? Glenn L (talk) 21:34, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think we should be assuming that the film takes place during the same year it was filmed. I would be much more comfortable if there was evidence of the year presented within the film itself. Perhaps a relevant question is whether it ultimately matters whether the film occurs in 1983 or 1984? DonIago (talk) 12:38, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
