An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Karate Kid (released in some countries as "The Moment of Truth"), the classic 1984 John G. Avildsen teen kung fu martial arts teaching melodrama ("He taught him the secret to Karate lies in the mind and heart. Not in the hands."; "Written by Robert Mark Kamen") starring Ralph Macchio (in the title role as Daniel LaRusso), Pat Morita (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; billed as "Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita" as Mr. Miyagi), Elisabeth Shue, Martin Kove, Randee Heller, and William Zabka (as Johnny). Note that this movie spawned three sequels, with Ralph Macchio returning in the first two sequels, "The Karate Kid Part II" in 1986 and "The Karate Kid Part III" in 1989. Macchio then left the series, and Hilary Swank became Pat Morita's new student in "The Next Karate Kid" in 1994. In 2018, YouTube produced a "Cobra Kai" TV series, cleverly bringing back Ralph Macchio 35 years later, with his old nemesis, William Zabka, returning as well. If you haven't seen Cobra Kai, and you are a fan of the original movie, you are almost certain to like it! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few fine creases mainly in the upper half of the poster (see our image). Approximately 6" of the back of the right edge has darkened. It displays well from a reasonable viewing distance. Learn More about condition grades
