Ali's clothes


I love the original Karate Kid movie mostly because it's the one that had the characters of Ali, Johnny, Bobby, etc. Johnny and Bobby are hot, even if they are by jokes. But I feel like they both redeem themselves at the end of the movie. And I love Elisabeth Shue as Ali. She's wonderful! My only problem with her are the clothes she wears. Nothing looks very flattering on her. I know the movie takes place in the 80's and was filmed then too. But I also grew up in the 1980's and was about the same age as Ralph and Elisabeth when that movie came out. I know all about 80's fashions, but Ali's are just very unflattering. Other chaststers in other 80's films dressed better like Cindy in Can't Buy Me Love, etc. I just wonder why Ali dresses in so many unflattering skirt and vest combinations. Oy!

1980s women's hair and clothing styles were among the worst ever, not flattering to any face or body.

What is a "by joke", and what is a "chastster"?

I actually liked her fashion sense (my personal favorites being her pink argyle outfit- which I copied myself, the knit sweater and the cheerleading tryouts outfit)! Here is a list of some of my other favorites! https://m.imdb.com/list/ls565662480/?ref_=m_urls_ls

Did Daniel have a brother???

Anyway, someone earlier had commented that the clothes were intentionally unflattering to hide her, well, rack to make her look less mature. That makes some sense I think.

Oh, welcome to MC!
