Johnny is like the voice of GenX talking to Millennials. "In my day, if you wanted to insult someone, you had to do it to their face! There was honor in it!"
Hell yeah! I binged watched it 4 times already! They really did it right and respectfully! Hope they dont mess up season 2! Really would love to see Johnny and Daniel join together and have Migel and Sam together all part of miagido karate. I see Jhonnys son Robby teaming up with Krease and Barns.....to still get back at his dad!
I liked how you stated that Cobra Kai used an agressive form of Karate. "First Rule. Karate only for defense." -Mr. Miyagi RIP Pat. You were like a father figure to me too and you will be missed.
So now then they had to get him a body bag,, lol.. Sorry I just had too,, I mean come on it would of been rude not to when handed such a loaded comment..
As a 13 year old girl ,The Karate Kid was the movie I rewound and rewatched repeatedly. I had all three main movie posters on my wall. I carried a pic of Ralph in my school bag and kissed it for luck. For me, it was KK two that stole my heart. The little girl getting rescued from the bell tower was epic and the beautiful dance scene was breathtaking. Long Live The Karate Kid and RIP our beloved Pat Morita Fun fact: Ralph’s irl son is named Daniel. As a tribute to Pat. Banzaiiii!
When I was a kid my cousin James and I watched this on a VHS loop as well. I had Karate kid pajamas that looked like Daniel's Karate outfit complete with headband and would wear it outside pretending to protect the neighborhood from random neighborhood thugs.
@UserLMH you grew up right then, i used to do the same thing on the weekends when i had to go to grandma's house all day long. Best 6 hours ever in the 90's Karate kid 1-3 to get threw a long boring day..
Pat Morita and Kurtwood Smith are great examples on why actors should be cast on ability and not only type cast by the role they played in previous films. Both actors roles in TKK and Robocop are iconic to this day and I can't imagine anyone else playing their roles, especially Kurtwood as Clarence Boddicker.
@@lauranajeracortazar2610 he would be around 27 or 28 years old during film and the time it came out. And he wad not 24 in the 1st one he couldnt been older than 23 as ralph maccio was born in 1961
Fun fact: Toshiro Mifune, the famous Japanese actor known for his role as the samurai, Yojimbo, was offered the part of Mr. Miyagi, but he came across as too stoic and rigid during his readings. Pat Morita not only came with a more peaceful demeanor, but was able to pull off Miyagi's natural sense of humor as well.
This was 1 of the movies that shaped my childhood, along with The Last Dragon & so many others. The music was also incredible during this decade: " . . . I am the man, who will fight for your honor . . . #GrewUpInTheEighties ❤❤
Best sequel-to-series EVER... and like 34 years in the making! With returning cast members! I got CZcams Red just for it, and now I'm happy with Red in general. Well played CZcams....
One fact about "get him a body bag" he did not mention: It was never uttered during filming. After the film's production, and editing was complete, the Director Avildsen needed soundbites to fill time. In comes Rob Garrison (in a sound studio booth), and out came the iconic line. Avildsen told him fans may forget his character, but will remember that (iconic) line forever. He was right. May they both R.I.P. 💖
The Pat Morita story is even more amazing because he was SPECIFICALLY targeted for not getting the part. He was interviewed by another channel (Emmy tv legends?) where he retells the story. Morita tells stories extremely well and does awesome impressions. Hearing him speak in his actual voice, however, is the best! I highly recommend searching out Pat Morita interviews!
I watched this movie over and over again when I was a kid. Used to get so excited and tingly when he did that crane kick lol. It’s funny this video popped up on my front page, because I just sold The Karate Kid NES game this weekend at a garage sale.
Karate Kid III would have been so much better if Daniel and Johnny became friends after the events of 1 and they both teamed up to defeat Johnny's former sensei.
20:1 says that this is exactly what will happen in Season 2 or 3. Johnny and Daniel will team up and destroy Kreese and Barnes. Though I expect to see a full on Romeo and Juliet story between Daniel's daughter and Johnny's son. That's all but guaranteed to happen. I'll even go so far as to say that she will have to face Miguel in next year's tournament, defeat him, and then go on to face er own secret boyfriend in Johnny's kid.
did you know that Ralph Macchio was 21yrs old in 1984 no wonder he still looks so young! Love the new Cobra Kai season 2, you can't get enough of it, I need season 3 now!
The Mr. Miyagi character is in reference to the founder of Goju Ryu Karate-Do Chojun Miyagi 1888-1953. The stand-in for Mr. Miyagi's fight scenes is none other than Shito Ryu Fumio Demura. A couple of things I find interesting about the franchise.
Demura Sensei just had a documentary film made about him, it is called The Real Miyagi. It is here on You Tube if you want see it. Pat Morita is seen via archive footage talking about working with Demura Sensei. Pat Johnson(the martial arts choreographer on all four movies) is one of the interviewees in the film and it is amazing to hear about how Demura Sensei mannerisms influenced Pat Morita's performance.
@ I agree. I try to give the boy some credit but he falls in the shadow of his father. I think his father is pretty entertaining but every time I see his son don't give him the credit that he deserves because he's in that shadow.
They've called it youtube premium in the UK and maybe Europe as a whole? But it's been about a year since I heard about Red, maybe they're gonna call it different things in other countries.
One of my all time fav movies, still gives me goosebumps everytime I watch the crane kick at the end of the 3rd act, awesome movie, sensational soundtrack, great acting from Daniel, William and specially by Pat Morita (RIP Sensei). And now I'm a 46 years old man and I get to go back in time with the awesome and brilliant Cobra Kai series, thanks to all people involved in this Masterpiece of TV show, can't wait for the second season...
I highly recommend checking out 'Cobra Kai' if you haven't yet, they genuinely put effort into the series and made it something great, the characters from the films genuinely seem like themselves on the show. Great video btw, awesome content as always!
I love this movie. Pat Morita, may he rest in peace, and Ralph Macchio were incredible. I also love the fact that some of this was filmed at Golf 'N' Stuff in my hometown, Downey, California though some say its Norwalk but it borders on Downey and Norwalk. One fact is that the water slide (which is now completely gone) was only open for the movie. The water slide was shut down due to a death years before so we never got to use it and it remained shut down for years before Golf 'N' Stuff revamped a lot of things and took down the slide altogether. It actually sucked cause a lot of us wanted to go on it but, nope.
One thing I really like about the Chan-Smith remake is that it exists in the universe as the original films, but as a film! According to the creators of "Cobra Kai" anyway.
I love this film, It definetely has a sweet spot in my heart. And yeah, I'm one of the fans of the NES game, and I could - after a lot of hours put into the gameplay - finish it, when I was a pre-teen!
It baffles me that no one seems to point out that the Jackie Chan/Jayden Smith reboot of the movie was entirely wrong. Chan's character taught the boy Kung Fu, not Karate. Kung Fu is from China and Karate, of course, is Okinawan/Japanese. If they'd wanted to stay true to the original, they'd have had the child be taught Karate again, like in the original. Or at least name the film the correct "Kung Fu Kid".
Oklahoma Hoss When the movie was presented to the Chinese government for approval to show in their theaters, the Chinese officials demanded the name be changed for that same reason. I agree with you 100% as calling the movie Karate Kid was being disrespectful to both martial arts systems. This was pointed out to the movie makers, but they only thumbed their noses.
It also doesn't hurt when your father is a Hollywood A-lister (Smith) and he wants the most popular A list Asian actor (Chan) around to star opposite his kid as a vehicle to jump start his career at 10 yrs old lol 🙄😒
I totally agree, I couldn't get pass that. I mean it wasn't an overly bad movie, maybe if they gave it a different name and made it a stand alone movie instead of a reboot
So glad I subbed to your channel you are like me when it comes to movies I grew up with almost all the movies you talk about from alien to predator to gremlins to karate kid and so many more love this channel keep up the good work bro
Daniel was the true bully. The Cobra Kai kids took their revenge too far, but Daniel was the instigator each time. (Still love the movies as they are, though) 🥰 I’ve been resisting watching the new series, knowing I’ll feel tempted to totally binge it, but I’m sure one of these days I’ll go for it. 😂
Also, one of Johnny's buddy's in the Cobra Kai gang was played by Steve McQueen's son, Chad McQueen ( he wanted to fight Daniel in the tournament locker room ).
When I was in the Marines back in the mid 1990's, I got to meet one of the roll models for the Mr. Miyagi character. His name was Fuse Kise and he was still giving lessons on the base I was stationed on in Okinawa, Japan. I still kick myself to this day because I din't take lessons from him. That would have been awesome. Also, the scene where he catches flies with chopsticks was also done in Samurai 2 by Toshiro Mifune's character Myamoto Musashi.
Nice video! (I love the entire trilogy. The ending in part 3, when Daniel does his "Kata", still gives me chills!) Yeah, the new Cobra Kai series is AWESOME! (9 days left until the second season begins!!!!!!!!!)
Just saw the two first seasons of Cobra Kai. It's really solid. It has a lot of the same feel, but is very much it's own thing still. Telling two grown men, that can't let go of the past.
After all these comments and this vid. I'd figure actually give the show a watch since I enjoyed the shit outta the movies themselves. Great vid 👍 Subbed
I don't know why but it really grates on me that, that movie with Jackie Chan is called Karate Kid when Jackie is actually teaching him Kung Fu not Karate. It should've been the Kung Fu Kid not Karate Kid.
They named it that probably for the name recognition, and it did great at the box office. you probably should try not to get too hung up on it. Also, the term kung fu literally means doing well at anything, not just a martial art. Jackie knows several
I just want to say I think you’re super dope and you’re amazing. I love your videos and style. You’ve blessed the world with your passion and I appreciate it completely. Cheers mate.
As it turns out, Cobra Kai is WAY better than it had any right to be. Binge-watched the whole series in a day -- highly recommended!
RandomNumber hell yes it is and what’s even more surprising is how damn funny Johnny is. Laughed my ass off in the first 2 episodes
I watched Cobra Kai series 2X already! Can't wait till season 2 w Kreese & Mike Barnes
Johnny is like the voice of GenX talking to Millennials. "In my day, if you wanted to insult someone, you had to do it to their face! There was honor in it!"
Hell yeah! I binged watched it 4 times already! They really did it right and respectfully! Hope they dont mess up season 2!

Cobra Kai is fantastic. William Zabka delivers. I like how the series has a more adult theme than the original Karate Kid movie.
RIP Pat Morita
THE SOUNDTRACK is a masterpiece...
Ha ha I've just commented on this then run down the comments section and see your comment.. Lol.. Cool af..
The same guy who did Rocky.
It’s the best arooouund
I liked how you stated that Cobra Kai used an agressive form of Karate.
"First Rule. Karate only for defense." -Mr. Miyagi
RIP Pat. You were like a father figure to me too and you will be missed.
Ya but cobra kai never dies
The soundtrack just like the film itself is legendary.
Agree!
Sad news, Robert Garrison, the actor who played Tommy (the guy who shouted, "Get him a body bag!") recently passed away.
Rest in peace, Robert Garrison. You will be remembered, and you will be missed. Sincere condolences to your family and friends.
So sad
he died in the series season 2
So now then they had to get him a body bag,, lol.. Sorry I just had too,, I mean come on it would of been rude not to when handed such a loaded comment..
@@iamthatguyfromslipknot1137 you are souless
My favorite part is the end where Daniel gains the respect of Johnny
"You're alright, LaRuso."
"Yeah, thanks a lot."
Cobra Kai is absolutely AMAZING!!! Must watch!!
As a 13 year old girl ,The Karate Kid was the movie I rewound and rewatched repeatedly. I had all three main movie posters on my wall. I carried a pic of Ralph in my school bag and kissed it for luck.

When I was a kid my cousin James and I watched this on a VHS loop as well. I had Karate kid pajamas that looked like Daniel's Karate outfit complete with headband and would wear it outside pretending to protect the neighborhood from random neighborhood thugs.
Crazy. I did not know that about Ralph. Thanks for telling me :)
Pretty cool that he did that and really sweet to Pat.
@@TheMontyR haha, that's awesome! 😂
That's so cool!!
@UserLMH you grew up right then, i used to do the same thing on the weekends when i had to go to grandma's house all day long. Best 6 hours ever in the 90's Karate kid 1-3 to get threw a long boring day..
This movie brings back so many memories of my very hound childhood. Whenever I hear cruel summer which is a great song I think of the 80s
Release dates:
27th June 1983 UK
2nd July 1984 US.
It was recorded in April 1983.
4 Sure
They use Cruel Summer in season 2,ep 10, of Cobra Kai.
Which is fast becoming a world wide movement, not just the best show ever.CKND.
You left out Japanese film legend, Toshiro Mifune being considered for role of Miyagi.
The music by Bill Conte is so beautiful and peaceful!!! Very memorable when the song plays.
And Georges zamfir on pan flute
Pat Morita and Kurtwood Smith are great examples on why actors should be cast on ability and not only type cast by the role they played in previous films. Both actors roles in TKK and Robocop are iconic to this day and I can't imagine anyone else playing their roles, especially Kurtwood as Clarence Boddicker.
I still couldnt believe that Ralph Macchio was older than the guy who played Terry Silver
DEFIANT ONE He looks 30 in the 3rd movie while Daniel looks 12
Don Beck and Terry Silver is supposed to be the same age as John Kreese
So how old was Ralph in the 3rd movie? I’m shocked!
Whaaaaaaat? That's some crazy info right there!
@@lauranajeracortazar2610 he would be around 27 or 28 years old during film and the time it came out. And he wad not 24 in the 1st one he couldnt been older than 23 as ralph maccio was born in 1961

Here another fun fact Thomas Ian Griffith and Ralph Macchio were the same age when Karate kid 3 was filmed.
This was 1 of the movies that shaped my childhood, along with The Last Dragon & so many others. The music was also incredible during this decade: " . . . I am the man, who will fight for your honor . . .

The 80s were such a great time to grow up in wasn't they mate,, loved it I did..
Not going to lie even though I was born in 07 the music of the 80s is fire
Thank you TK.
Uh...I was a teenager through the 80's and I would say.....Some of it was...A LOT of it was CRAP !
Okay, @@fedupwithfedforever4151, such as -

Cobra Kai, the new show was really good!! That’s the way reboots and old movies/tv shows should be done! Can’t wait for season 2!
🤖🤓
By far the best show of 2018 so far.
Cyberman Bill it's not a reboot
Best sequel-to-series EVER... and like 34 years in the making! With returning cast members! I got CZcams Red just for it, and now I'm happy with Red in general. Well played CZcams....
I am actually pretty psyched about that show. It's actually the reason why I happened upon this video today. Looking forward to see it. :)
Ahhhh the 80s, thanks for taking me back to my childhood and reminding me of that damn game that took so many of my quarters!
I wish I was a teen in the 80s it looked way more fun and better
The jaden one should’ve been called “ Kung fu kid “ Kung fu being Chinese and karate being Japanese and that
Exactly
@Kobra Bonzai Studio Thank you
Kerry Howard should’ve been called “ my dad visited Epstein island and everyone is cool with that ‘. #epstiendidntkillhimself
Correct.
I don't think they knew the difference between karate and kung fu.Well spoken, it was 2010 movie kung fu.It should have been called the "Kung Fu Kid."
That picture of Pat Morita having ice cream with the Cobra Kai made me smile. 😊🐍🍦
Almost two years after you made the video, time has told that Cobra Kai is an incredible series. Waiting with bated breath for season 3!

Actually he was 22. Yes I am shocked. Im almost 19 and still look young
The small detail of using the soundtrack for this video is beautiful. My all time favourite films and Soundtracks!!!
Well done Mintyson!
0:44 “an okie-wan” instead of Okinawan got me giggling
Other favorites - Kaibra ko, skellington costumes
I met Pat Morita once in a Honolulu airport. He confessed he had a fear of flying and bought me a drink after giving me his autograph. Class act!
The "blueberry pie" scene, instantly brought my mind to another "american pie" situation. Lol
Who could ever forget that "Wax on,wax off" regimen? That's way more memorable than the Jackie Chan version
Jack it on jack it off lol
Cobra Kia is surprisingly well written.
What about "Sweep the leg Johnnie" or "squash like grape"
EXACTLY that was the biggest line lol..but i will be disqualified...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Cobra Kai",is a great series! It really stays true to the canon. Best of all,both main characters are relatable and empathetic.😊
2010 version felt like a forced diversity remake. Nothing more, nothing less.
Sounds like a lot of modern reboots
And my girlfriend at the time said that she liked it better than the 1980's version. I got out of the theater shaking my head.
@ I agree. I try to give the boy some credit but he falls in the shadow of his father. I think his father is pretty entertaining but every time I see his son don't give him the credit that he deserves because he's in that shadow.

(I love the entire trilogy. The ending in part 3, when Daniel does his "Kata", still gives me chills!)
Yeah, the new Cobra Kai series is AWESOME! (9 days left until the second season begins!!!!!!!!!)
I Enjoyed this Very much I Enjoy All Your Video's 😀😀 Great
that new show is awesome
I never saw it or heard of it. But after seeing it in minty's list seems like a nice & original concept.

Terrific intro, I Minty!...I actually got tears eyed!
Minty! You need to do a video of “The Outsiders” & “The Goonies” 👍🏼

He has done one on the Goonies and still needs to get around to The Outsiders.
"Johnny, You're a CreamPuff!"
Pure classic, cobra Kai is good too.
10 things you didn't know about fortress (1985),plz.
Just saw the two first seasons of Cobra Kai. It's really solid. It has a lot of the same feel, but is very much it's own thing still. Telling two grown men, that can't let go of the past.
After all these comments and this vid. I'd figure actually give the show a watch since I enjoyed the shit outta the movies themselves.
Great vid 👍
Subbed
That game was AWESOME!! I loved the rain. But man it was so hard!!!
Beat it several times
I don't know why but it really grates on me that, that movie with Jackie Chan is called Karate Kid when Jackie is actually teaching him Kung Fu not Karate. It should've been the Kung Fu Kid not Karate Kid.
They named it that probably for the name recognition, and it did great at the box office. you probably should try not to get too hung up on it.
Also, the term kung fu literally means doing well at anything, not just a martial art. Jackie knows several
Huge fan since the beginning when it all first came out including Rocky/Rambo! GREAT info keep it up. YOUR STILL A DORK ! lol.
I declared this as my most fave when I was a kid. I followed the animated series too
As a request, I'd love to see your 10 things about Cobra Kai.

Cobra Kai is amazing! You can tell they made it with love. If you loved the original movies than it is must see.

Ralph turned DOWN Marty mcfly!? Bet he will NEVER forget that error,lol🙃
Maybe it wasn't an error. Maybe the movie wouldn't have worked as well with him in the lead role.
Marty McWho ?
If only he could go back in time.
Back to the future
