Evildsen filmed the times of the tournament frames from different angles
Scenario
A decade after their match at the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, middle-aged Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence find themselves once again as martial arts rivals. During the filming of the original Karate Kid, the late director John G. The Cobra Kai film crew searched the studio vault and found a lot of never-before-seen clips that they were able to introduce into the series with the help of flashbacks. One of them includes Zabka’s real mom, who was in the stands in different angles that weren’t seen before 2018.
it was shown that it was Naryoshi
Ralph Macchio told Uproxx that there are three brand new angles on the famous crane kick. Many believe that Miyagi’s 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 earlier on the plaque that Chozen held for him in Karate Kid 2 (1986). This means that it was The Next Karate Kid who changed his name, while Cobra Kai kept his previously given name. However, one more interesting fact is that the name given in The Karate Kid Part II was not the original first name given by Miyagi.
I can’t believe how much I like Cobra Kai
In the movie Karate Guy (1984), Miyagi’s name is Hideo on the tags attached to the 1948 Ford keys given to Daniel for his birthday. Featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Anthony Mackie/Ralph Macchio/Kyrie Shabazz (2018). Initially, I thought that it would be some banal children’s show. But it’s not like that, any fan of the original trilogy will like it.
He is definitely a star here!
The action takes place 34 years after the events of the first film and the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. It tells the story of the unsuccessful Johnny Lawrence (William Zavala), who tries to adjust his life and opens the famous dojo “Cobra Kai”. This rekindles his rivalry with the successful Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio). I can’t say enough about how good Zabka is here.
I promise you will like it!
It’s a pity that he didn’t become a bigger star in these years, because he shows that he can carry the show here. Again, if you’re a fan of the original trilogy, check this out. I look forward to new seasons in the future.
