Sweep the leg, Johnny! Take in a screening of 'The Karate Kid' at First Park

The city's Movies Under the Stars series begins this week in city parks.

Around here, the only film on the summer slate is the original  "Karate Kid" (1984) — the one that proved leaving New Jersey for L.A. might not be such a great idea after all.

The classic that spawned sequels, remakes and a TV series plays at First Park, First Street at Houston, on Thursday, June 12. Movies begin at dusk or 8:30 p.m., whichever comes first. 

And there will NOT be a special section for anyone rooting for the Cobra Kai dojo. 
The Movies Under the Stars series is presented by the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment and NYC Parks. Find the complete list of the mostly family-friendly summer films here.

    Sounds like a night dreamt up by Christine Baskets (RIP)
