Avildsen shot hours of footage of the tournament from multiple angles
Synopsis
Decades after the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence are once again revealed as martial arts rivals. During the original filming of Karate Kid, the late director John G. The crew behind Cobra Kai went through the studio vault and found a bunch of previously unseen clips that they were able to incorporate into the series using flashbulbs. One of them features Zabka’s real-life mom in the stands from various angles that hadn’t been seen until 2018.
Ralph Macchio told Uproxx that there are three brand-new angles of the famous crane kick
Many people believe that Miyagi 39; The 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 shown on the sign Chozen held in Karate Kid 2 (1986) to be Nariyoshi. This means that it was The Next Karate Kid who changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept his previously given name. However, another interesting fact is that the name given in Karate Kid Part II was not the original name given to Miyagi. In Karate Kid (1984), Miyagi’s dog tags attached to the keys to the 1948 Ford that Daniel was given for his birthday show that Miyagi’s name is Hideo.
After watching several episodes, I can say that they nailed it
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Anthony Mackie/Ralph Macchio/Kiri Shabazz (2018). I was a teenager in the 80s and I loved watching this movie – as did most guys my age. I was a little skeptical when I saw they were making a new series that takes place 30 years after the movie ended. But when I saw the trailers, I thought they might be related.
It’s not overdone (or underacted)
This is the best show anywhere. It’s not stupid or goofy either. It’s perfectly balanced with a few goofs or 80s references thrown in here & there. This revival could have been a disaster, but it looks like they have the perfect writers, directors, and actors.
But as a 40-year-old – I kind of agree with him
It’s funny because as a kid I wanted to punch Johnny in the throat as hard as I could. Great job to the people responsible for making this happen — and of course, it couldn’t have happened without Ralph & William. Thank you!
