ali’s house

from the karate kid posted in movies by pete_nice

This Karate kid film location is Ali's (Elizabeth Shue) house. Daniel pulls up to the fancy digs with his mom in her station wagon to pick up Ali, and his wrong-side-of-the-tracksness becomes evident. Ali's parents come to the door in matching traffic outfits, and then the Larusso's have to push the station wagon away.

This Karate Kid film location is Daniel-san's high school, and is also known as the Charles Evans Hughes Middle School. It was used in several scenes for the first Karate Kid: when Daniel and Ali are talking outside, the soccer field, and the road where Daniel causes a car accident as he runs by in his shower costume.

This location is also used when the Cobra gang in skeleton make-up kick the crap out of Daniel-san by the fence. Then Mr. Miyagi jumps in and throws the smack down on the d-bags in the Cobra gang. It is extremely gratifying. You have to imagine the fence without weed and shrub growth.

This address is the apartment where Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) moves into with his mother. A beat-down apartment with a pool that has murky water in the bottom, the location only foments Daniel's status as the quintessential underdog.
