Netflix Watch Party: Karate Kid (Virtual)
On Thursday, November 5, STATIC hosts a Netflix Watch Party featuring the original Karate Kid. Event begins at 8:00 p.m.
In Karate Kid, “Daniel (Ralph Macchio) moves to Southern California with his mother, Lucille (Randee Heller), but quickly finds himself the target of a group of bullies who study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki ‘Pat' Morita), an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more compassionate form of karate and preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai.”
