i'm not here to cause any ruckus or trouble or start any commotion but i could have sworn that one time i saw karate kid I on tv and the ending wasn't the same crane-kick ending. instead daniel just used martial arts to win and at the end the guy who got disqualified apologized again to daniel and congratulated him on winning. am i the only one who has seen this or have any of you out there seen this also? let me know.

I've never even heard of that before. And Bobby was the guy that got disqualified. Are you sure that you didn't dream that? [Big Grin]

Perhaps you got confused by the ending of pt1 and pt3 somehow. after all Mike does get thretened with disqualification twice (mayb jst once), and Dan does a Kata to beat Mike. Both endings take place in same arena and same setting with same scenario (Daniel vs Kobra Kai). Thats the only explination i can think of
since i like the other guys watch vhs, dvd and tv screenings of KK and have never heard of this alternative ending. It's only a guess mate, I'm not saying you're not right, it;s just ive never heard of it

Hey, I'm still going with that dream idea. [Big Grin] I'm just kidding. Maybe Larusso's Legend is right. Anyway, let us know what you find out. [Wink] [Karate Kid]

ok just went to the video store and watched #3 and larusso's legend i think u are right. when i saw karate kid on tv i caught only the tailend of it so that would probably explain why everything seemed so familiar to me. thanks a lot for pointing that out and damn that was a great movie! i never found out they had made a #3 until like a year ago but i never got interested enough to check it out. most of my friends thought that there are only 2 movies and the "next karate kid" was the last one. did #3 go straight to vhs or flop in theatres? or did it do well but not many people saw it? anyways, now i don't have to research any 'alternate endings' for karate kid I. thanks a lot for your patience and understanding rather than ranting.

This is what they grossed in theatres.
Karate Kid I
Gross
$90,800,000 (USA)
Karate Kid II
Gross
$115,103,979 (USA)
Karate Kid III
Gross
$38,956,288 (USA)
So, Karate Kid II did not do as well in theatres, but it did play in theatres.

well silverado considering the crane kick was completely made up i would think that using kata to beat johnny would be tight.
