A decade after their match at the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves once again as martial arts rivals. During the filming of the original Karate Kid, the late director John G. The Cobra Kai film crew searched the studio vault and found a lot of never-before-seen clips that they were able to introduce into the series with the help of flashbacks. One of them includes Zabka’s real mom, who was in the stands in different angles that weren’t seen before 2018.
it was shown that it was Naryoshi
Ralph Macchio told Uproxx that there are three brand new angles on the famous crane kick. Many believe that Miyagi’s name on his tombstone is a continuity error, given that in Karate Kid 4 (1994) his name is listed as Keisuke, but it was actually earlier on the plaque that Chozen held for him in Karate Kid 2 (1986). This means that it was The Next Karate Kid who changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept his previously given name. However, one more interesting fact is that the name given in The Karate Kid Part II was not the original first name given by Miyagi.

In The Karate Kid (1984), Miyagi’s name was given a glimpse of Hideo on the tags attached to the 1948 Ford keys given to Daniel for his birthday.. I was a teenager in the 80s and enjoyed watching this movie, as did most guys my age. I was a little skeptical when I saw that they were making a new series set 30 years after the end of the movie. But as soon as I saw the trailers, I felt that they were up to something.
This is the best show ever
Having watched several episodes, I can say that they hit the spot. It is not overplayed (or underplayed). It is not banal or stupid. It’s the perfect mix of seriousness with a few jokes or 80s references thrown in here and there.
But as a 40-year-old man, I feel a little sorry for him
This revival could have been a disaster, but they seem to have found the perfect combination of writers, directors and actors. It’s funny because when I was a kid I wanted to punch Johnny in the throat as hard as I could. Great job by the people responsible for making this happen and of course it couldn’t have happened without Ralph and William. Thank you!
