When Cobra Kai was about to debut, Macchio was asked by The Wrap about the kick and he replied, "No hits to the face was clearly something when the referee made the list of things what not to do." He then added, "If that didn't happen, I don't know if we'd be talking about that movie 34 years later." though, Macchio was on The Tonight Show where Jimmy Fallon asked him some questions about the films, including "At the end of The Karate Kid you famously win the All-Valley Karate Championship with the crane kick. Was the kick actually legal?" Macchio replied, "Here's my theory no here's the truth. Here's the truth. It's been a while and I've been fighting off these theories a long time. Listen, Mr. Miyagi was the ultimate teacher, so, and LaRusso had him as his trainer. And as the superior trainer he's basically the human Yoda. You don't bet against Yoda. You don't bet against Miyagi. That number one. Number two, I would say, is that LaRusso, how did he train? He trained over a couple of weeks time by household chores, never having the ability of privilege to have a sparring partner. His opponent there, bud, was like, you know, in combat-ready training for years for this event." He then pointed out the illegal leg sweep by one of the Cobra Kai fighters and concluded, "And if you look at the tape, not only, does the does the ref say 'point, winner.' A win is a win [Johnny] literally arguably charged, ran into the kick. LaRusso had nothing to do but defend himself." However, we really don't even need to go that far, as the answers are all clear in the film itself. Daniel oddly didn't actually check on the rules of the tournament until they were literally AT the tournament, and it was his girlfriend, Ali, who explained, "Everything above your waist is a point. You can hit the head, sternum, kidneys, ribs." And then, in the tournament, kicks to the faces were repeatedly counted as legal points! Johnny's shown getting a point from a kick to the face. And later, Dutch getting a point from a kick to Daniel's face.
