Narrative
Decades after their 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament bout, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves martial-arts rivals again. 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.
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. 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 The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Anthony Mackie/Ralph Macchio/Kiry Shabazz (2018).
It successfully brings back the old "feel" of the films, while adding a new and complex storyline
I remember watching the Karate Kid films as a kid, and I cannot express enough how impressed and surprised I was at the level of quality of this series. It really embodies the legacy of the rivalry, and yet rebores the spirt of the films to a degree that is just unprecedented.
Amazing job YouTube!
I can't wait to see what they do in Season 2.
