Tale
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.

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 hero 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.
I can’t believe how much I love Cobra Kai
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Anthony Mackie/Ralph Macchio/Kiri Shabazz (2018). I initially thought this was going to be some kind of cheesy show for kids. It’s not, any fan of the original trilogy will love this. It takes place 34 years after the events of the first movie and the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament.
He’s the absolute standout star here!
It follows up-and-comer Johnny Lawrence (William Zavala) as he tries to get his life back together and opens the famous Cobra Kai dojo. It rekindles his rivalry with the successful Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). I can’t say enough about how good Zabka is here. It’s a shame he hasn’t become a bigger star over the years because he shows he can put on a show here.
I promise you’ll love it!
Again, if you’re a fan of the original trilogy, watch this. I’m looking forward to more seasons in the future.
