boring history lesson but it backfires must be take a worm for a walk week this was supposed to be west valley high school for the movie the karate kid this was also seen in a nightmare in elm street part two and summer school among other movies so it was [Music] [Music] [Music] but that was when the miyagi had brokered the deal with sensei john crease that he cannot be touched and now here's allie's house that was on display in that embarrassing scene with daniel's mother in the car she was a sweetheart and didn't seem to mind not so sure about the parents though and they pulled up and parked right here in front of the steps and it's a beautiful house here in encino california and the car stalls right in front of the parents they have to do the rolling poppet scene right here pretty funny is that that the pedestal there oh wow that's the column daniel kicked the brick out of the parents came home they turned into the driveway and looked up in disappointment immediate disappointment of what they saw it was off the golf and stuff their first date [Music] that's quite a new jokey one of the most lasting images in movie history and that's mr miyagi who was propped up on a wooden post practicing his crane kick right there [Laughter] and you can see this rock formation yeah amazing [Music] and here's the spot where miyagi had to set those two jokers straight oh yeah

get it right they're the preliminary matches surrounding the whole inner area but at the end the final the final fight scene brought everything in to the center from all sides and right there that was where miyagi was set up and on the opposite end was where sensei crease was set up and that's where the scoreboard was that epic final scene great shot [Music] [Applause] on both sides are seated in
