The final kumite in karate kid I



The final scene in karate kid I

Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) VS Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka)



In the final scene, Daniel and Johnny are tied, both one point away from victory. Daniel, barely able to stand, assumes the "Crane Kick" stance, and delivers a blow squarely to Johnny's chin, winning the tournament. Johnny acquires respect for Daniel as a result of Daniel's win. With respect and without malice, Johnny takes the trophy from the emcee and presents it himself to Daniel. " You're alright LaRusso. Good Match."

Meanwhile, for all the adoring crowd and the trophy, the greatest reward for Daniel is the sight of Mr. Miyagi's face beaming with pride at his student's triumph. (from wikipedia)
