All 6 Karate Kid Movies (& Cobra Kai), Ranked From Worst To Best

The Karate Kidmovies ranked can be tough to narrow down as the franchise spans six films, including sequels and a remake. The Karate Kid introduced Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and his karate sensei/best friend Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita). 1986's The Karate Kid Part II and 1989's The Karate Kid Part III soon followed, and Morita then headlined 1994's The Next Karate Kid alongside a new co-star, Hilary Swank, who played Julie Pierce, Mr. Miyagi's second student. 16 years later, The Karate Kid brand was resurrected for a 2010 remake that starred Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.
