  “Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out the mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don’t forget to breathe, very important”

  “The Karate Kid” was a huge box-office hit for John G. Avildsen when released in 1984, going on to launch a number of sequels, remakes (including a change of gender) and an incredibly popular and long running TV series “Cobra Kai”, which picks up the story in present day using nearly all the original cast. Any paper from the series is hugely collectable with the first release, 1984 country of origin, US one-sheet (as offered here) the most sought after. Like many film posters from the period it’s an early example of photo-shopping, which in this case really works well, with a silhouetted Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) the main focus as he is about the perform the iconic ‘crane kick’. Presented in excellent rolled (as issued) condition, it truly is superb and a marvellous item of collectable cinematic memorabilia from an extremely popular franchise.

  Trivia: The yellow classic automobile that Daniel polishes in the famous “wax-on/wax-off” training scene, then later offered by Mr. Miyagi as Daniel’s birthday gift, was actually given to Ralph Macchio by the producer, and he still owns it. The car is a 1948 Ford Super De Luxe.
