Avildsen shot hours of tournament footage from multiple angles

Tale

Decades after their 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament bout, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves martial-arts rivals again.. During the original Karate Kid shoot, late director John G.

Ralph Macchio told Uproxx there are three brand new angles of the famous crane kick

The crew behind Cobra Kai searched the studio vault and found a ton of never-before-seen clips, which they were able to introduce into the series via flashbacks. One of them includes Zabka's real life mom, who was in the stands in different angles that went unseen until 2018.

In Karate Kid (1984), it can briefly be seen on Miyagi's dog tags, attached to the keys of the 1948 Ford given to Daniel for his birthday, that Miyagi's first name is Hideo

Many people believe that Miyagi's 39;s name on his headstone is a continuity error, given that in Karate Kid 4 (1994) his name is stated to be Keisuke, but it was actually shown previously on a sign being held for him by Chozen in Karate Kid 2 (1986) to be Nariyoshi. This means that it was The Next Karate Kid that changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept the name previously given for him.Another interesting fact, however, is that the name given in The Karate Kid Part II was not the original first name given to Miyagi.

William Zabka makes this show as Johnny Lawrence, he is everything

Featured in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Anthony Mackie/Ralph Macchio/Kiry Shabazz (2018). This show is the perfect mix of nostalgia, great 80s music, and badass karate.

It's lovely

Storylines are interesting, action scenes are well coordinated, and everyone and their brother comes back from the movies.
