Karate Kid sequel TV series... with Macchio! "Cobra Kai"

[CyberCubed]

I am pretty sure a cameo of Jackie Chan's prestige, even if he's only on-screen for about a minute or less...will be $20 million dollars. Netflix could shell out the money if they want to, but will it be worth it.

Bullsh**. Jackie Chan only got paid 15 million for his whole role in the actual Karate Kid remake. And that was 14 years ago. I tend to think he'd just do it virtually unpaid, to help promote Karate Kid Legends for which he probably IS getting a pretty OK paycheck.

I notice they got a couple of real Cobra Kai actors in it.

So with the show ending soon do you think in the last episode (where there will probably be a celebration party with all the kids at Larusso's house or something), do you think that fat black female character from the first two seasons will return? She was the very first student Johnny had in Cobra Kai, but she left the show at the end of Season 2 and only got a short cameo in Season 3 with Sam visiting her.

Usually when shows are ending they bring back all the cast members (assuming they all live), by the end. I wonder if that fat black female will get a final appearance, is she still acting in other shows? I nearly forgot about her till seeing some clips of the early seasons recently. They should give the fat black girl some closure in the last ep, she did get Johnny started on Cobra Kai after all as his first student.

I really hope so. I think they will bring her back for something at the end.

Aisha. Her name is Aisha.

[Andrew NDB]

I'm a sucker for stuff like this. Even as a kid I wanted Daniel to end up with Kumiko. And imagine if she'd come back with him in Karate Kid 3.It would have made the whole movie so much more meaningful rather than the non-girlfriend they saddled him with. A wide-eyed Kumiko in California, then getting beat up by Mike Barnes? Stakes would have been much higher.

[XERO]

That makes me realize... Kumiko never met Barnes, and vice versa.

I wonder what other characters haven't met each other in the Miyagi-verse? Daniel and Julie, Silver and Daniel's mom, etc.

[Andrew NDB]

Seeing a lot of spoiler pictures around. Not about any of the "surprise appearances" we've been looking forward to, but other stuff.

Tons of pictures are leaking of Daniel, Johnny, Miguel, Sam and pretty much everybody in Miyagi-Do dressing up in Cobra Kai gis for the finale during the continuation of the tournament. So something weird must happen... like Miyagi-Do loses, then Cobra Kai's management changes and they're able to swap in Miyagi-Do people? idk... it's got to be something along those lines.

I wonder what other characters haven't met each other in the Miyagi-verse? Daniel and Julie,

Technically we don't know who Julie has or hasn't met in the Miyagi-verse. It would be strange if Daniel and her never bumped into each other ever, like even at Mr. Miyagi's funeral, yet it wasn't like Daniel was picking up the phone to call her, either, when he found Mr. Miyagi's box of secrets. The same box of secrets containing the passport with the same different last name he was ONLY using in The Next Karate Kid..

Lame!

It looks like they wanted to get her, had an idea for her, reached out to her and all, but they didn't even start the potential scheduling process until so late into things she was already too busy.

[TMNTFanatic4Life]

We're going to see a "team up" that has never been seen before on the show. And fans are going to "go nuts."

https://screenrant.com/cobra-kai-season-6-fight-scene-jon-hurwitz/

Given the Karate Kid movie announcement, would it really be too surprising if Jackie Chan is going to show up? I just hope it's not at the expense of Swank showing up. And I didn't even really want to see Jackie Chan in this universe.

I just finished this and unless I missed this team up that would make us go nuts……nothing?

This would be something like Daniel and Kreese or Johnny and Silver teamming up that would make me go nuts lol

[CyberCubed]

Finished the last 5 eps and the show, and it was good. There weren't any real plot twists or surprises in the last few eps, but they hit all the high notes people were expecting and gave the main characters their wins, so it felt like the journey was worth it. All the main kids got their moments in the end, even the ones who didn't fight, so it was nice to see them all fill their roles.

Kreese and Terry's final scenes together were also fantastic, and a nice way to see them out.

What I also liked is the showrunners remembered the show was called "Cobra Kai" and that it started with Johnny and Miguel, so it ended with them being the two most important in the end. We also know Daniel has the Jackie Chan Karate Kid movie coming up, so we haven't seen the last of him either.

The Asian bully kid from the earlier seasons didn't get a final appearance in these (forgot his name), and that fat black female from Season 1 didn't return either, I guess she wanted nothing to do with the show anymore. But they were the only two characters missing from what I can recall.

Also Johnny's actor did some of his best acting in these last eps. Really makes his journey from Season 1 and even from the first Karate Kid movie feel like an amazing run.

I wasn't really holding my breath for it anyway. At some point, it became unlikely. It's nice to see that it was considered and attempted though. I guess I'll now have to make it a point to watch the Karate Kid remake with Jackie Chan some time.

I believe I'm satisfied with the way the series ended. It's just too bad that Kreese had to go out the way he did, although Terry got what was coming to him.

[Andrew NDB]

I guess that was just about Miyagi Do stepping aside and Daniel "joining" Cobra Kai for that last match. But definitely not remotely what I was thinking.

[XERO]

I enjoyed it, and it was a hell of a run.

Looking forward to the new movie even more now.

[Andrew NDB]

So this happened.

Sad, if true, and in a somewhat ironic way since their characters are supposed to be sympathetic to each other in the fictional universe.

Also... Hannah-Kim is only 37? I don't want to even say how old I assumed she was.

EDIT: I saw your instagram photo with the Cobra Kai cast! Pretty epic!

How old did you think? I actually thought she was about 30ish, but PLAYING like 45-49.

Thanks!

Thanks!


And you got to be right next to Peyton List!

[CyberCubed]

Man meeting them all is so cool. I wonder how they all felt if they knew you were in your mid/late 40's? Like a middle age man trying to be hip with a bunch of young 20 year olds? :lol:

[Andrew NDB]

I guess the Kove-Alicia incident WAS at my convention. Apparently over at the photo op place. It must have happened during their photo ops which were about 30 minutes after I left on Saturday.

Man meeting them all is so cool. I wonder how they all felt if they knew you were in your mid/late 40's? Like a middle age man trying to be hip with a bunch of young 20 year olds? :lol:

I'm NOT in my late 40s. And a lot of them are in their late 20s. :)

[CyberCubed]

The Asian woman is really only 37? What the, she's younger than me!? I thought she was in her early 50's or something.

Yikes, what happened? Asians, especially Asian women, tend to age really well. She looks almost 20 years older than she should be. That's crazy, she looks old enough to be my grandma.

[Andrew NDB]

The Asian woman is really only 37?

And she got with Yuji Okumoto (Chozen) on the show... who is 66! An almost 30 year gap there. Me, I'm only like 15-18 years older than these kids.

[CyberCubed]

I was just thinking when she was training Tory, those eps were filmed a few years ago so she must have only been 35 or younger when filming those episodes. Tory was around 24-25 then so the Asian woman is only 10 years older than her in real life?

That's crazy, she really does look 20 years older than she is. No way would I think she's only 10 years older than most of the kids on the show. I really thought she was late 40's and early 50's by the time the show aired.

Asian women are supposed to age gracefully, what is going on? She was younger than me when filming those episodes and I look like a kid next to her. This is blowing my mind.

[CyberCubed]

Here's footage of her yelling at him with the police there, "Sir, were you raised in a ditch?"

Interesting stuff! "In your 80 year-old brain!" LOL!

Also, eh... when they do the closeup of her arm with the bite to show it... am I the only one not seeing anything there?

That’s so weird! I think if a co-worker was horsing around with me in public and something turned into a bite, I would be so confused and bewildered I don’t think I could get security or police involved. Maybe it’s a further development of something that happened on the Cobra Kai set? Or maybe Kove has a really bizarre sense of fun? Like… did he think he was play biting one of his grandkids (old people sometimes do that for reasons unknown to me)?

Here's a different, older Martin Kove story from Bill Hader:

This is the common issue with these situations. You have someone who was a victim of stupidity or maybe some social foolishness and she has every right to push back on the stupidity or foolishness.

But then the real problem rears it's head in that the "victim" is now empowered and, with inflamed narcissism, doubles down on their 15 minutes of "social fame" for their "virtue" and just continues with their nonsense-hammer over what is, in actuality, a nonsense-interaction.

The pattern reveals psychology.

Most well-adjusted people would have resolved the issue with being "bitten" by a clown, and then moved on. But these people, society's true evil, just go on and on about their "new platform" in "the fight" and the rest of clown world eats up; and now you have a witch hunt.

And where I started out with some sympathy for her situation, now I find myself seeing that maybe she has been revealed as the problem.

"On the way back, we’re driving," Hader said. "It's at night, and we're driving down the freeway. He was like, 'Bill, are you mad at me?'"

Hader said he wasn’t upset, but he recalled that Kove wouldn't let it go. He asked more than once whether Hader wanted a milkshake or a cookie.

"This is the guy from Karate Kid. This is my first Hollywood experience," Hader said. "He goes, 'There's a McDonald's right up here. Pull over, and we'll get you a cookie. We'll get a milkshake.'"

But the stop didn't go as planned.

"He comes back out eating the chocolate cookie and the milkshake. And he just sits in the back and goes, 'Come on, let's go,'" Hader said. "It was the biggest f--- you."

Hader had another phrase for it, too.

"It was a weird mind f--- of, like, 'I'm gonna get you this thing,' and then he ate it in front of me," Hader said. "And then I just drove home in silence."

But then he had to go back.

"Yeah, I drove him to work every day. And I didn't talk to him after that," Hader said. "I just kind of stared straight ahead."


Man, what a weird guy!

[Andrew NDB]

Man, what a weird guy!

I give a LITTLE leeway there, as we don't have Martin's side of that story. For all we know Hader was being a prick. He could have been being catty and making snide remarks the whole way in the car.

Definitely possible, I'll admit. Anytime a public figure has a REALLY embarrassing story about them, everybody else seems to finally remember "that one time" they had an odd encounter with them and they finally have a platform to spread it around.

But... I'm still sticking with my "what a weird guy" take.

[IMJ]

But... I'm still sticking with my "what a weird guy" take.

I'm with you on that.
But on that note, what's your take then on the continued "platforming" from the "Bitten Cobra Kai Actress"?

[Andrew NDB]

I see some sentiment online about, "She obviously missed the whole point of Cobra Kai!" and it's true.

[CyberCubed]

I'm glad this didn't happen till after the show ended. Imagine if this happened like while Season 4 or 5 were filming or in-between breaks? Martin Kove would have been "cancelled" and they would have to write his character out off-screen.

Aw man. THESE showrunners would have most likely said "F*** off!" to all of that noise, but it still would have tainted everything. And they would probably avoid writing scenes with those two characters interacting entirely, which would change a ton.

[CyberCubed]

I'm sure they were also working on the assumption Martin Kove could simply die of old age while the show was airing, I mean he is in his mid/late 70's for most of it. If he just died of old age while the show was going on, they'd probably just say he died of a heart attack or something and quietly show him off-screen.

They basically set up Terry Silver as his complete replacement so you can imagine how Season 5 would be written easily without him coming back.

A sequel to that other Cobra Kai fanfilm. This one brings in other real Cobra Kai actors like Martin Kove and even Nichole Brown (Aisha).

Aisha comes back for a fanfilm but isn't seen in the series since the switch from YouTube to Netflix!?!? Wha-happened?

[CyberCubed]

Wow I'm surprised that fat black female even agreed to be in this. She's even fatter now than she was in Seasons 1-2. It's years later and she couldn't go on a diet after all this time? Even her face is so plump and round. I'm surprised that fat black female even wanted to be associated with the franchise again even if it's a fan film.

The Kyler/Quan mix-up given they are both Asians was pretty funny. The actor who plays Kenny really grew up to be a muscular good looking guy. Nice seeing Miguel's mother in this too, she's cool.

Martin Kove in this talking about "biting" his way out of the shark infested water was pretty damn funny given what happened in real life. The irony of it all.

[Andrew NDB]

The spinoff is shaping up.
