The Karate Kid is an 80's classic. The Karate Kid is an excellent movie for the family. For children, this movie may require some parent supervision as some fights break out through out the movie. In addition, there is some profanity, alcohol, drugs, and some graphic injuries. This movie is not recommended for younger children
