Cobra Kai

I want Terry Silver to come back. Loved that guy.

Surprised with the latest trailer, hopefully the show is just as fun.

Probably doing time for being a paedophile, the guy was creepy.

Last time I saw him he had chunked up quite a bit. It's been awhile ago though.

 

[Kamandi]

This was a decent trailer. I wish I could pay to see only the show and not for Youtube Red.

Funny that in real life the actor is younger than Ralph Macchio....

Wikipedia seems to list him as being born in either 1960 or 1962. So if the latter then yes he was younger...weird! He was supposed to be a peer of Kreese. I think he played that role really well. Devious *******.

Karate Kid III had easily the best Mr Miyagi fight scene of all of them. He takes out all 3 of the main bad guys with ease and pretty minimal violence.

3 movies (well 4 really) and Miyagi only ever had one offensive shot hit him.. Cheap little love tap from behind with a spear by Chozen. Dude is like Steven Seagal..

It's the only part of KKIII I find that watchable, yet I still watch KK1 once every few months.

Daniel was never supposed to be the most likeable guy in the world, otherwise the Kai wouldn't have found traits to pick up on and bully, but you at least sympathised for the guy. Fish out of water, sticks up for the girl and runs afowl of the bit of a jerk, but popular rich good looking jock ex-boyfriend. Johnny himself wasn't even that bad a guy. Bobby was kind of the saint on one shoulder, and Dutch the devil on the other. Take Dutch out of it and the initial confrontation at the beach may not have even happened. Tommy was just a wannabe, comic relief try-hard, and Jimmy, what was Jimmy? Apparently you need 5 in a gang to make it a gang.

Anyway.. KKIII. How they could take an already annoying Daniel, who should have grown and matured by the end of the visit to Okinawa, and make him even more whiny and annoying. Bad, bad writing... Not helped by Ralph being way to old and out of shape to play the part by that stage.

Not sure I agree. II takes place very soon after I and III takes place right after II. It's not a long timespan for Daniel to mature. And all that stuff going on made for some good drama between him and Miyagi. I can't even say I noticed Macchio looking older or out of shape.

II is actually the weakest IMO, some of it was pretty cheesy I thought.

 

[Kamandi]

I never saw all of III or any of IV.

 

[a-dev]

I didn't know there was a IV. Just googled it.

 

[Kamandi]

Hillary Swank would probably pay us to not discuss it further.

 

[kiwiatlarge]

Not even Michael Ironside managed to save it..

 

[FriendlySamurai]

Thing I hated about the sequels to Karate Kid is that he never actually learned anything. He got the crap kicked out of him throughout the movies and in the end always managed to win through some kind of gimmick. K1 it was more understandable because he had a limited time to train.

I have a feeling Kreese will definitley be making a cameo. He does a lot of appearances and works with schools about bullying. Seems like a pretty nice guy in real life.

Kobra Kai (Karate Kid sequel show)

 

[ApeManRyan]

I want to watch the series but do you have to be subscribed and pay a fee for YouTube Red correct? If that's the case then i'll be bummed out. I love the Karate Kid films well the first 2. 3 and 4 blow.

It doesn't seem like you have to pay for anything based on this link, but I dont know, I haven't tried to watch any of them.

I checked into it. Looks like you get a free trial and then start paying $9 a month. I decided to just go ahead and do the free trial since the series I can binge fast. I'll post my thoughts on how the series is within a week.

If you actually click on the third episode, the video is only about 90 seconds long. I think you can watch the first two episodes fully, and then only teasers for the rest.
