Ralph Macchio was 22 during filming. Some of the cast did not believe him when they asked about his age.
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.
The studio wanted to drop the "drunk Miyagi" scene, feeling it slowed the pace down. Director John G. Avildsen argued for it and has felt it was the scene that got Pat Morita nominated for an Oscar.
Pat Morita himself designed the bonsai logo that was sewn onto Daniel's gi.
In the opening scene, the kids chasing the car down the street, waving goodbye, are all from the neighborhood. They were hanging around the set and interfering with the shoot. The director offered to put them in the movie if they would leave the crew alone.
"Daniel: Hey, what kind of belt do you have? Miyagi: Canvas. JC Penney, $3.98. You like? Daniel: [laughs] No, I meant... Miyagi: In Okinawa, belt mean no need rope to hold up pants. [laughs; then, seriously] Miyagi: Daniel-san... [taps his head] Miyagi: Karate here. [taps his heart] Miyagi: Karate here. [points to his belt] Miyagi: Karate never here. Understand?"
"Daniel: Hey - you ever get into fights when you were a kid? Miyagi: Huh - plenty. Daniel: Yeah, but it wasn't like the problem I have, right? Miyagi: Why? Fighting fighting. Same same. Daniel: Yeah, but you knew karate. Miyagi: Someone always know more. Daniel: You mean there were times when you were scared to fight? Miyagi: Always scare. Miyagi hate fighting. Daniel: Yeah, but you like karate. Miyagi: So? Daniel: So, karate's fighting. You train to fight. Miyagi: That what you think? Daniel: [pondering] No. Miyagi: Then why train? Daniel: [thinks] So I won't have to fight. Miyagi: [laughs] Miyagi have hope for you."
