    Those two guys look old. I wonder if they will actually fight. :)

    His face off walk at the end looks like a tame 6 year old.

    Ralph Macchio is now four years older (56) than Pat Morita (52) was playing Mister Miyagi in the original film.



    Just reading up on this and it is ten 30 minute episodes and it's a single camera comedy.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,021 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    If it's a comedy it could work but is this the 3rd or 4th reboot of the concept at this stage?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,560 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    I'd say 2nd reboot. KK4 had Hilary Swank but Pat Morita was in it so it was kind of a sequel/spinoff. The Karate Kid with Jaden Smith was the first proper reboot.

    Wasn't the Swank 1 called the Next Karate Kid, I'm counting reboot on that 1 ;) I seem to recall a previous TV series, might have been a cartoon, and then that pile of **** that was the Smith 1. With those in mind this new 1 could be 4 reboots/attempts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55,560 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    You could also say that this is a direct sequel to KK3. Same actors, same world. So it's not a reboot of that. :)

    Teaser 2.

    Teaser 3 Sensei Daniel

    This trailer feel a step up .. maybe it's the rock music

    I'm not going to lie that make me laugh and brought a smile to my face I really want to love it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭BaronVon


    I haven't been this excited for a new TV show in a long time. At first I thought it was a piss take, but this could be really good.

    How do you get Youtube Red?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    Looking more polished in these two teasers




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,306 ✭✭✭✭Drumpot


    Looks like they are going for the old role reversal. I already don’t like Danielson from
    The trailer. Looks like it might be a bit of fun!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 870 ✭✭✭Kuva


    Grrr, stop bumping til it's out!!!

    Fecking trailers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,854 ✭✭✭✭silverharp


    Johnny got a bad rap unfairly when he was a kid, i hope this evens it out :D

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Is it really bad that the tv show cant even afford to use the makes of the cars?!

    Just watched the first episode there. Excellent. Hard not to have sympathy for Johnny. Trying to figure out how he went off the rails after the loss really considering he took it with such grace and sportsmanship at the time.

    I think it was the fact he became disillusioned with the Cobra Kai who defined his youth in many respect. While a bad company they gave him organisation, structure and discipline in his life and when that went there was a huge void to fill.

    Such an interesting story in many respects. Needs a cameo or two from Elizabeth Shue though ;)

    Geez - could we have some spoilers please :D

    I've watched the first 4 episodes and this show has so much heart they have done an amazing job.

    I didn't give away any of the episode. A spoiler would be where I explained what happened in the actual episode. I merely speculated on his back story. Those who seen the movie will be familiar with what happened in the original film. Personally if you haven't I recommend you do

    Well just watched the whole thing and it was fantastic.


    Whoever wrote it deserves a lot of credit for writing a real family friendly story keeping the spirit of the original Karate Kid alive and giving that story a depth it didn't have before.


    That last 5 minutes as well setting up what will hopefully be a second season.



    I just wish I had watched The Karate Kid again before I started this.

    Enjoyed it immensely...
    Daniel and Johnny getting pissed talking about old times. Johnny is still desperately clinging on to the 80s like a Liverpool supporter

    And last but not least
    Return of Kreese

    Oh btw i did laugh at the fact one of the characters is called 'Robby Keene'......Was it his dream to do karate i wonder? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭BaronVon


    Just finished watching it, I enjoyed it as much as I had hoped. Half way through, I was wondering where they could take it for a second season, but then it ends perfectly!

    Just finished watching the every episode.
    Brilliant is all I can say.

    Cant wait for season 2 now!!!

    Saw that this morning, thats quite good. Must get around to watch Danny's story but he seems like a bit of dick, i mean he was a bit of a dick in the movie too :D

    I think anyone who liked Gene Hunts character will like Johnny's. Politically incorrect and doesnt give a fúck. A mans-man
    Bit of smugness about Daniel alright but overall a good guy I think. Just goes to show that meeting the right people to guide you is sometimes a game of chance. Johnny seemed to draw the short straw in this regard.

    I am beginning to woonder if there was a greater mission with the Cobra Kai in the original films in that perhaps Kreese was a disgruntled ex service man in Vietnam and was training an almost ISIS like army of impressionable youngsters to over throw the government or something bizarre like that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,450 ✭✭✭✭salmocab


    Watched the first 2 yesterday and enjoyed them but cant see me paying for the rest so will have to find a different way.
    Good story so far and resisted the temptation to make it just a big cheesy nostalgia trip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,569 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Finished it off this morning.I wasn't expecting much but its surprisingly good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,823 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly


    Very pleasantly surprised by this
    Look forward to the second season

    Tho cant believe Will Smith had anything to do with it after that other monstrosity with his son who annoys the hell outta me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,178 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Will Smith owns the rights to Karate Kid he bought them so he could give his kid a job.

    Seen a brilliant comment under one of the Youtube videos the other day. :D

    "Fear does not exist in this dojo! Does it?
    NO SENSEI
    Pain does not exist in this dojo! Does it?
    NO SENSEI
    Jaden Smith does not exist in this dojo! Does he?
    NO SENSEI! "
