Long before Jaden Smith, there was Ralph Macchio as the lonely outsider being kicked around by local bullies. Then along came the wise and martial arts proficient Pat Morita to show the young lad how to wax a classic car and with that, transformed him into the Karate Kid. The day the new Karate Kid premieres theatrically, Encore presents three from the original – Ralph Macchio and one from Hilary Swank.
