More than 30 years after the original movie became the surprise feel-good hit of 1984, Cobra Kai revisits The Karate Kid and catches up with hero Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and bad guy Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka).
YouTube Red’s Karate Kid sequel Cobra Kai includes never before seen footage from the original movie that casts Johnny Lawrence in a different light.
But in addition to footage from the original movie, the flashback sequence also includes some never-before-seen shots that somewhat re-contextualize the iconic Karate Kid ending and allow us to see Johnny Lawrence in a different light.
But now, thanks to Karate Kid follow-up Cobra Kai, we can take a second look at one of movie history’s most iconic bullies and consider things from his point-of-view.
