COBRA KAI - Karate Kid TV Sequel (Season One)

[Nameless Ghoul]

I never watched that piece of shit.

They had it on Spike right before UFC prelims back in the day. It was the only part I've seen.

 

[Philo-Publius]

I
Or fuck it, sign Hilary Swank (yeah right) and have her and Daniel get married. That would blow my mind.

You forgot poor Robin Lively.

I only saw clips from "The Next Karate Kid," never saw the whole thing, but it looked pretty crappy.

And, although Part III has some flaws it gets more hate than it deserves.

I only saw clips of it, and it looked awful. The original Karate Kid was basically a perfect film. Trying to remake a perfect film is futile.

Hey, at least he is in two absolute classics, top-shelf films, in two different decades. Most actors never get the chance to ever be in one.

He was also in Beer Leagur, which is fucking HILARIOUS.

It's actually a pretty solid film that has almost nothing to do with The Karate Kid.

It's kinda funny because of all the movies, I think The Next Karate Kid is the one I've seen the most because it was on TV all the time back in the day.

The villains in III were quite a bit over the top but it was still an enjoyable movie. I might rank it above II only because I thought II was a bit boring. No question though that the original is the best around.

Not to mention the whole movie is basically about Kung Fu.

Terry Silver and Mike "Bad Boy" Barnes FTW!

Yeah, I mean, except for a few basic plot points it's really not a remake.

If you don't judge it against the real KK films then it's actually not bad.

 

[Kraysla]

No, they lost faith in karate and instead started training in Thai boxing

Dude, Thai boxing gets you hott chicks when you learn the techniques.

Should have made the movie.

Pretty much sums up how I feel ... - _ -

And seen-some-shit Kreese.

Karate Kid 2 and 3 are both underrated movies.

Karate Kid 2 got a lot more love than Karate Kid 3, and it did deserve more love. Karate Kid 2 was a really solid follow-up to a great film.

No argument here. My main issue is that Karate Kid 3 is considered by many to be a bad movie or even a joke, when I thought it was certainly respectable. I felt it was still adding value to the franchise, which is a decent achievement for a 3rd film.

I agree. I enjoyed 3 too. I thought the characters that were new for the film were really well done. My only complaint about 3 is Mr. Miyagi's pacifist stance. That didn't make any sense to me, and it wasn't consistent with his character from the previous films.

I thought they used Kreese well too. They couldn't bring him back as if "now he's really been training and ready for Miyagi." He had already been punked by Miyagi and needed to be the second guy to the big boss in the next movie. And they did a good job of actually making me feel a bit of sympathy for Kreese before revealing him to be an even bigger asshole than he was before.

As a kid I'd have told you III was my favorite. I still enjoy it and put it at #2, entirely on the strength of its villains.

#1 was the Next Karate Kid?
