Johnson and the music composed by Bill Conti.
Plot
Due to his abusive behavior at the All Valley Tournament, Sensei John Kreese loses all of his students. Ostracized and broke, he visits his Vietnam War comrade Terry Silver, the wealthy owner of a toxic waste disposal business. Silver and Kreese plan to gain revenge on Daniel and Mr. Miyagi and re-establish Cobra Kai. Silver sends Kreese to Tahiti to rest up and get his life back in order.
Upon arrival in Los Angeles, Daniel and Miyagi discover that the South Seas apartment has been demolished, which puts Miyagi unemployed. Going against Miyagi's wishes, Daniel uses his college funds to open up a bonsai shop, which was Miyagi's dream. Miyagi thanks Daniel and makes him a partner at the bonsai business. When Daniel visits a pottery store across the street, he meets and befriends Jessica Andrews. Daniel has a brief crush on her, but she tells him that she has a boyfriend at Columbus, Ohio. They remain friends.
The Karate Kid is a 1984 American martial arts drama film directed by John G. Avildsen and written by Robert Mark Kamen, starring Ralph Macchio, who was 22 years old during principal photography, Noriyuki "Pat" Morita and Elisabeth Shue. It is an underdog story in the mold of a previous success, Avildsen's 1976 film Rocky. It was a commercial success upon release, and garnered critical acclaim, earning Morita an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The film became the first in a series, spawning three sequels and a remake in 2010.
Daniel LaRusso and his mother Lucille move from Newark, New Jersey to Reseda, California. Their apartment building's handyman is an eccentric but kind and humble Okinawan immigrant named Kesuke Miyagi. He later trains Daniel to become a martial artist.
Daniel befriends Ali Mills, a high school cheerleader from Encino, which draws the attentions of her ex-boyfriend, Johnny Lawrence, a skilled practitioner of karate and member of Cobra Kai, a local dojo. Daniel keeps silent despite Johnny and his Cobra Kai gang constantly bothering and harassing him. He fights back in self-defense until Mr. Miyagi intervenes and single-handedly fends off the five attackers with ease. Amazed, Daniel asks Mr. Miyagi to teach him to fight. Miyagi refuses, but agrees to bring Daniel to the Cobra Kai dojo to resolve the conflict. They meet with the sensei, John Kreese, an ex-Special Forces Vietnam veteran, who callously dismisses the peace offering. Miyagi then proposes that Daniel enter the Under-18 All-Valley Karate Tournament, where he can compete with Johnny and the other Cobra Kai students on equal terms, and requests that the bullying cease while Daniel trains. Kreese agrees to the terms, but warns that if Daniel does not show up for the tournament, the harassment will resume and Miyagi himself will also become a target.
The Karate Kid (simplified Chinese: 功夫梦; traditional Chinese: 功夫夢; pinyin: Gōngfu Mèng; Wade–Giles: Kung1-fu-meng4; literally: "The Kung Fu Dream") is a 2010 Chinese-American martial arts comedy-drama film directed by Harald Zwart. It stars Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, and it was produced by Jerry Weintraub, James Lassiter, Ken Stovitz and Jaden's parents Will and Jada. The screenplay by Christopher Murphey was from the story by Robert Mark Kamen for the 1984 film of the same name. This is the fifth installment of the Karate Kid series, serving as a reboot. Unlike the original 1984 version, this film featured a mixture of comedic and dramatic elements. The film's music was composed by James Horner.
Principal photography took place in Beijing, China and filming began around July 2009 and ended on October 16, 2009. The Karate Kid was released theatrically worldwide on June 11, 2010 by Columbia Pictures. The Karate Kid received mixed reviews and it earned $359.1 million on a $40 million budget. The plot concerns 12-year-old Dre (Smith) from Detroit, Michigan who moves to Beijing, China with his mother (Henson) and runs afoul of the neighborhood bully (Wang). He makes an unlikely ally in the form of an aging maintenance man, Mr. Han (Chan), a kung fu master who teaches him the secrets of self-defense.
The Karate Kid is a game published by LJN and developed by the Japanese company Atlus Co., Ltd for the NES. The gameplay loosely follows plot elements from the first and second Karate Kid movies.
There are four levels in the game, and they play out as the movie goes. It ends with Pat Morita winking at the player from the screen.
The game begins with Daniel LaRusso fighting in the All Valley Karate Tournament (the location for the first Karate Kid film's climax). He will have to go through four fighters in order to advance to the next stage. The opponent's energy bar increases as the player progresses through them. The final fight is presumably with Johnny Lawrence from the movie.
Daniel then starts the second level which is set in Okinawa (the primary setting for The Karate Kid, Part II). There, he must dispatch random thugs who die in one hit while progressing to Chozen at the end of the stage. For every few enemies dispatched, Daniel can collect small "C" and "D" symbols that allow him to use Crane Kicks and Drum Punches, respectively. They also replenish a small amount of Daniel's energy meter. There are also a few obvious and not-so-obvious entrances where Daniel can earn Drum Punches and Crane Kicks by either breaking ice-blocks, catching flies with chopsticks, or dodging a swinging hammer.
Part 3 is the fourth studio album by the funk and disco group KC and the Sunshine Band. The album was produced by Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch and was released in October 1976 on the TK label.
Part 3 contains three of the band's biggest hits, "(Shake, Shake, Shake) Shake Your Booty", "I'm Your Boogie Man", and "Keep It Comin' Love". The first two reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 while the third peaked at number two. Two other singles, "I Like to Do It" and "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" found moderate success on the charts. The album was remastered and reissued in 2006 by Collector's Choice Music.
All songs written and composed by Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch.

Now, you talk about that Bohagus boy. You know him, Billy Bohagus? They
found him last week out behind the barn [dramatic pause] with his math
teacher, his Scout leader, and the local minister, and that boy had the
nerve to say it was part of a biology project. We killed him; had no
other choice.
Part 3
-------------
I saw you naked, you were chasin' a pig
So I led the police to your house and showed 'em where to dig
You thought you could live in peace
But I saw you naked and I called the police
I saw you naked and I saw the terrible things that you did
I saw you naked and you know it made me sick
I saw you naked, you were campin' with scouts
I know they earned some merit badges when the lights went out
How could you touch those children?
I saw you naked, you were holdin' a trout
I saw you naked and I saw the terrible things that you did
I saw you naked and you know it made me sick
Don't you kids try this solo at home
That man is a trained professional
I saw you naked, you were up in a tree
Were you gonna jump on the paper boy? I hadda wait and see
Were you afraid of squirrels? Poison Ivy?
I saw you naked, you were singin' "Born Free"
"Born Free"
I saw you naked and I saw the terrible things that you did
I saw you naked and you know it made me sick
