As kids, we all definitely saw The Karate Kid and we cannot forget the impact of that in our lives. We all wanted to be Karate champions after seeing that movie. That movie might have had an active role in showing what we are today. Even today the movie is an evergreen movie and no one would change the channel if that comes live. It still feels like that movie just released yesterday. After all these years the epic cast grew up and now it’s totally different and we wonder what they became.<\/p>\n
