Corrected entry: Daniel and his mother supposedly moved from Jersey to LA, but the opening travel scenes are desert, palms, and tumbleweed, nowhere near Jersey.

The Karate Kid (1984)
Corrected entry: When Daniel enters Mr. Miyagi's house for the first time, the door knocks into wind chimes hanging from the ceiling. When Daniel's mother finds Daniel at Mr. Miyagi's house and enters, the chimes are gone.
Correction: Given the time that passes, he easily could have taken them down.
Nothing confirms that he was removing them.
Nothing confirms that they ate every day during the film's time frame either. Does that mean they didn't eat other than what we saw?
Nothing confirms he didn't remove them either.
Nothing confirms he wasn't either.
There are at least 3 scenes where the chimes are present. 1. When Daniel first goes to Myagi's room-he opens the door and hits the chimes. 2. When he goes to Myagi's room to say thank you for fixing his bike-the chimes seem a little further away from the door and he seems to have to exaggerate the door opening to actually hit them. 3. When Daniels mother enters Myagi's room the chimes are there (possibly slightly repositioned) but she doesn't open the door wide enough to make contact with them.
Correction: No they aren't. She just opens the door enough to not bump it.

Correction: They first show them leaving the city in New Jersey, crossing middle American farmland, a desert area (likely the Chihuahuan Desert in southern Texas and New Mexico), the Canyon Portal Hotel (which was a real hotel in Arizona before being torn down), a mountainous desert (likely the Mohave in southeast California) and finally the apartment complex in Reseda. They travelled across the country by car. They were bound to see multiple types of landscapes, including the American deserts.

Again, this is the very opening of the film when they are DEPARTING New Jersey. Not the traveling parts following minutes later.

Here is the opening scenes for the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK1xslvKteE&ab_channel=LightningBoyXXX You can see them traveling exactly how I described: city, farmland, sand desert, motel, mountainous desert, apartment complex.
