Avildsen shot hours of tournament footage from various angles

Tale

Decades after their fight at the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, a middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence meet again as martial arts rivals. During the original filming of The Karate Kid, the late director John G. The team behind Cobra Kai dug through the studio vault and found a ton of never-before-seen clips, which they were able to incorporate into the series via flashbacks.

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

One of them includes Zabka’s real-life mother, who was in the stands at different angles that weren’t seen until 2018. Many people believe that Miyagi's name on his tombstone is a continuity error, as in Karate Kid 4 (1994) his name is listed as Keisuke, but it was actually previously shown on a plaque Chozen was holding for him in Karate Kid 2 (1986) as Nariyoshi. This means that it was The Next Karate Kid who changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept the name he had been previously given.

Another interesting fact, however, is that the name given in The Karate Kid Part II was not the original name given to Miyagi. In Karate Kid (1984), it can be briefly seen on Miyagi's dog tags, attached to the keys to the 1948 Ford given to Daniel for his birthday, that Miyagi's name is Hideo. I remember watching the Karate Kid movies as a kid and I can't express how impressed and amazed I was by the level of quality of this series.

Amazing job, YouTube!

It successfully recaptures the old "feel" of the movies while adding a new and complex plot. It truly embodies the legacy of the rivalry and yet renews the spirit of the movies on a level that is simply unprecedented. I can't wait to see what they do in Season 2. https://itepinnovation.com/2024/11/17/skygard-arena-2024-torrent/
