The Karate Kid series of movies stars Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, the humble humble caretaker of a building complex who befriends a teenage boy, Daniel-san.
Moving from New Jersey to California, Daniel fails to understand the social rules of his new school. He falls afoul of a group of karate students with a white teacher, an ex-military man whose creed is "No mercy".
In the third and fourth movies, story values are thrown out and the films focus more on fighting, earning little money at the box office and low ratings from the critics. The aging Ralph Macchio's attempt to play Miyagi's protege fails, and he is replaced by then-unknown Hillary Swank for the final film.
