Sidekicks is a 1992 movie about a kid named Barry Gabrewski who has asthma. He has a lot of daydreams about being Chuck Norris' sidekick, the two of them battling against Norris' movie enemies who are often personified by Barry's school bullies. He lives with his father Jerry Gabrewski, a widower.

Barry is taught martial arts by an old Chinese man called Mr. Lee (Mako), the sly uncle of his teacher Ms. Noreen Chan (Julia Nickson-Soul). Mr. Lee decides to teach Barry some karate so that he can defend himself from the bullies. Barry later enters a tournament where he confronts his bullies and gets to fight alongside Chuck Norris after all.

This movie has many elements in common with The Karate Kid, but it is unusual for the movies starring Norris since it parodies his previous movie roles.
