StoryDive Cobra Kai 🐍
Cobra Kai never dies
Iron Eagle is cool bro.
Karate Sei with a little splash of Dou. Because I analyze my opponent before I go all in and fight like a Dou in that regard. I prefer defense and evasion/redirection over being offensive and brutally strong. Doesn't mean I can't be though. After all, one tempers the other and vice versa. 👍🙂
If you read James DeMeos (from USA) website you can find out, why the isolated Ego gives some aggressive and egocentric raw strength in short terms but does not give real inner strength and sustainable psychic development of the soul in long terms. Because real inner psychic strength of the soul comes from psychic roots of the soul in tradition and spirtuality and nature and culture, whereform you can draw real inner strength and energy and balance and harmony and hold and holdness and stability.
The aggressive egoists and egomaniacs and egocentrics do cut off their psychic roots of their soul and get isolated and loose their roots and get blinded by their ego.
you missed when Daniel jumps down to defend Robbie. It was the same jump and defensive stance when miyagi jumped down from the fence to defend Daniel
Yeah, it's true. I didn't make the connection. Good catch!
@@StoryDive thanks. Not on my high horse, just wanted to let you know
@@Faltzerbeast90 No problem. I asked people to point out what I missed.
They should have blurred that scene thru Robbie eyes as Daniel rescues him reminiscent to Miyagi saving Daniel
Good catch
The writers and directors have really done their homework. You can feel it when you watch the show, that it's a passion project. Such a great show!
I think what also helps is both Ralph Macchio and William Zabka are co producers on this too, but definitely great work from the writers
The writers are the original writers from the movies
@@daniprescott7132 Cobra Kai is written by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. The Karate Kid 1 through 3 were written by Robert Mark Kamen.
The writers were HUGE fans of karate kid.. that's why the show is SO good
You mean they’re not fake ass “fans” like the lairs who made the new star wars movies 🤣 We love the original Star Wars characters so much, let’s do everything we can to change their characters and get rid of them all as fast as possible lol smh
I think Mr. Miyagi had more screen time than Daniel's son son in season 2 🤔
That chubby little guy is unbearable... he doesn't even look like his gorgeous parents. Is he adopted...?
@Bah Humbug Then I really hope the Laroussos won't have a third child... 😄
SeaBass SeaBass
🤣
I noticed that also that Anthony gets very little screen time. I don't think he was in the 2nd Season at all till the last episode. I thought they might have done to him what they did to Chuck who was Richie's Cunningham's older Brother. They just wrote him out of the show without any explanation. Later, the father would say that he had 2 Children.
I predict though that the Daniel's son will become an important part of Cobra Kai. I think the evil Cobra Kais wil bullying him knowing he is Daniel LaRusso's son. He will then be forced to take Karate. I wouldn't be surprised that in a Mirror Version of Robbie- he will take Karate from a Cobra Kai. Perhaps, Bobby the Original Cobra Kai or Johnny himself. Maybe Daniel will be so upset what Robbie did in seriously wounding MIguel, that he would have sworn off teaching Karate.
Remeber, a lot of other characters in Cobra Kai started out as either very Unheroic or very unlikable like Robbie. And their characters turned around. I think the same thing will happen to Daniel's son.
They said he was going to Summer camp. I didn't know that Summer Camps last all Summer haha
When Tory grabs the microphone of the School's PA system, and says that she's "coming to get" Sam, it is a reference to the scene in Rambo II where Rambo makes the same threat to Murdock. The reason for this Easter Egg is that Martin Kove was not only in Rambo II, he was in that scene. The reason for the Over The Top reference was because Stallone's character in that movie is named Lincoln Hawk.
Dude, good call!!!!
Damn, you know your 80's
You missed another Revenge of the Nerds reference at the carnival. When Larusso gets interrupted by Cobra Kai, it's like the same way the Alpha Beta jocks were interrupted by the Lambda Lambda Lambda nerds at their carnival.
That is so very true.
Lmfao, i seen that plain as day
Not only that, but the actor playing Lamar in Revenge of the Nerds, (Larry B. Scott) was one of the Cobra Kais in the original movie
yep and Johnny thinks computers are for nerds..His hero must have Oger...NERDS..!!!That would be awesome if oger made a geust appearance say as a computer salesman..Every one who grew up in the 80s would have got that no problem...!!!See i could have been a writer in this show...Lolll... NERDS..!!!
The way Kreese appeared from behind the punching bag was also a jumpscare throwback to how he appeared from behind his cut-out in KK3.
True! Very good
I thought that was a cool subtle reference, I wished he would've jumped out like he did in KK3 though lol
@@neoasura now because at that point the show risks crossing the line into self parody.
Nice! You missed 17:10 one when Johnny walks in and Kresse says "class we have a visitor". Kreese also said this in KK1 when Miyagi and Daniel visit the Cobra Kai Dojo after the Halloween fight.
Yeah.. Yeah... Back on there, Kreese oppose Miyagi & Daniel. But for now, he look his best student as his opponent.
@@robertcuterman2511 regardless, it's an Easter Egg!
100% , I noticed the same! Even the training was the same, "eitz! Kill! Eitz kill". (or whatever they are saying)
Get him a Body-Bag! Yeah!
35 years later...
*gets put in a body-bag*
ToxicYT839 💀
🤤🤤wow good call!!!
Oh shit...
Haha wow
They had too, that line was not in the original KK movie he threw out there spontaneously and the ad=lib worked well.
Of course we all noticed Tommy getting put in a body bag..... But did anyone catch Johnny pulling into Daniel’s reserved spot at the dealership?
@Jim Harol Just google them. Bobby, the pastor, was the one from the original that told Johnny “he’s had enough” when they ganged up on Daniel in the skeleton costumes, Tommy, the one that died, was the one that said “get him a body bag” at the tournament. Unfortunately the actor really did pass away from cancer a few months after filming that episode. Which is why he looked so rough. The one with the flowers at the hospital didn’t really have a huge part in the original, but he was there on the bikes, you have to look close in the original movie.
Another Johnny Lawrence Alpha move!
When Tommy told Johnny "You're The Champ" bruh
That was heartbreaking scene
I died
Legendary moment for true Karate Kid fans.
BigUpsKonviction so did tommy
The title of S2E6, "Take A Right", is actually a reference to one of Tommy's first lines in KK1: "Take a right, check it out!" I never would have noticed it myself if not for someone in the comments of that episode pointing it out.
I also noticed, and this one's seriously reaching, but at the skating rink when Miguel tries to go to Sam to apologize, she asks him coldly, "What do you want?" and it sounds just like when Ali says the same thing to Daniel in the 2nd trip to Golf N' Stuff.
A lot of the episode titles are fairly deep cut references to lines from the older films. There's obvious stuff like "Glory of Love" and "No Mercy" but then you get stuff like "Take a Right" and "Ace Degenerate"
"Everyone's doing something new", Yeah, Tommy stirring the pot there.
17:57 "hashbrown StoryDive" 😂
Johnny Lawrence: "Put one of those hashbrowns on it... you know, hashbrown TeamCobraKai... then SEND IT TO THE INTERNET!"
Best lines of the series, haha!! ^_^
And in Over The Top, Stallone's name is Lincoln Hawk ...
and had child support issues in it too
Exactly, and they were "going to Hawk's house" to watch it.
How Terry Funk didn't win Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for his role in Over the Top...
Stallone: "PEEEENIS!!!" xD
Oh I get it, their favorite band is Lincoln Park. Nice catch. Haha jk
Also to point out: Johnny didn’t have the guts to see his newborn son in the hospital, but he did go to the same hospital for his student Miguel
what can i say, he loves Miguel more.. let’s be honest
When Johnny tells the story about going to see Rocky 3, theres a connection there. The song Youre the Best from first Karate Kid, was originally meant to be used in Rocky 3. They used Eye of the Tiger instead, leaving the song to be used on Karate Kid.
Calling it now. we will not see a full DvJ fight to the end. I predict the last scene of the series will be a friendly sparring match that ends Rocky III style.
Lol, the credits roll on the freeze frame before they land the first punch.
Ding... ding.
I believe they mentioned that Rocky scene toward the end of last season right before Johnny found out Robbie was working with Daniel.
@@StoryDive or each make 1 point and ends with them close to give the next move...
Bro hopefully they make a spin-off 🤞
Binged season 2 yesterday and have been eagerly awaiting your review. Thanks for this!
I had trouble stomaching the ending, but even I have to admit that it was incredibly well-written.
The ending was gut wrenching and it leaves questions: Would that mean that the cobra kai students would run the school and torment the Miyagi-do students? Will Miguel ever fully recover from that spine fracture? If Miyagi-do is gone, how can they survive? If Ali comes back, then what? Would Carmen forgive Johnny? Can Johnny and Daniel set aside their difference and make a new dojo to take down Kresse's Cobra Kai?
Truly an awesome show on UA-cam, questionably the only true great show on UA-cam red.
Agree with both of you, definally well-written, credit goes to the film crew(directors,producers,etc etc) and Stars of Cobra kai.
one hell of a cliff-hanger and a lot to think about for the next season.
There is so much to talk about and process in this season because it was so good.
@@TheGrave10der I like the idea of Johnny and Daniel uniting. But, I think Johnny is finished with karate. The death or permanent injury of Miguel may forever change him. Too much has been lost. Sort of like Bruce Lee swearing off fighting in Fist of Fury.
@@nothosaur Bruce Lee actually wrote The Tao of Jeet Kune Do while recuperating from a back injury instead of giving up Kung Fu. I doubt Johnny will give it up, but I do feel you have a good point, Lee's character in Fist of Fury had good reason to quit. I wouldn't blame Johnny for quitting either.
If you're a fan of the original Karate Kid, you're likely also a fan of the original Rambo. Check out my video analysis of First Blood (1982), and the meaning behind it: ua-cam.com/video/elbsS6VDNNc/v-deo.html
Have you seen Final Blood? 📽️
@@smiller2044 Not yet, actually. I've been busy. I'll see it when I get a chance.
Ali Mills didn't accept Johnnys friend request, she sent him one
Came to the comments to say that
No it said on his phone that she accepted his friend request.
@@scottmatthias5142 Read it again, it clearly says "Ali Mills Schwarber has sent you a friend request"
Yeah, because Johnny didn't send her a friend request...just the message.
It's ironic that in karate kid, Ali ends her relationship on the beach with Johnny, and the final episode, she reaches out to Johnny to reconnect while he is at the beach.
At Coyote Creek ''exam'' , Stingray wears the COBRA (G.I. Joe) logo
Loved the Donatello TMNT reference during the display too lol
Stingray is the worst character I have ever seen.
Paul Clinton we are gonna forget dimitri
Paul Clinton Stingray is THE MAN.
@@paulclinton6414 I agree.
I kinda wanna see Miguel and Daniel interact
Maybe Miguel gets mad at Johnny for teaching him mercy so he goes over to Daniel to learn self defense but I doubt Miguel would leave Johnny he’s basically a son to Johnny
This will happen in season 3. You see, Daniel and Johnny will join forces and open a satanic karate dojo to defeat Kreese.
@@darkojehu And Miguel will be their secret weapon. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Miguel Diaz will be that man. Better than he was before. Better...stronger...faster.
Rickard Shen I don’t know. That may lead to WWIII, the rapture, armageddon and the second coming.
Miguel falling is definitely an homage to Die Hard when Hans fell from Nakatomi Plaza.
RIP Alan Rickman
That’s exactly who I thought too
No it isn't...
Not when Dick Jones fell out of the window at OCP headquarters?
Lol why, just because it was in slow mo?
My response to the announcement that Daniel will head back to Okinawa in Season 3 and what it may mean: ua-cam.com/video/ILQHLAtgXgQ/v-deo.html
The reference to anything Peter Cetera and any of his song was what I was waiting for since season 1, and Im glad they did. Glory of Love was Karate Kid's ultimate love theme.
"Put him in a body bag!". R.I.P. Tommy
😂😂😂😂
I watch that part like ten times , they petty as fuck !
Frederick dunno if you laughing at the line i sure hope so since rob garrison the actor who plays Tommy passed away.
One missed Easter egg: Daniel referencing Hilary Swank's character from "The Next Karate Kid" when he said "It's been a long time since Miyagi-Do had more than one student" after Sam joins in...
She was only 1. Think it's referring to miyagi and sato
Best series I have ever seen 🙏😉
@@snl694 Cobra Kai>
they say it's the best around.
S2 was a soulless cheesefest.
@@snl694 GOT is more believable that CK E10 trash.
@@paulclinton6414 You disliked it so much you're watching a season two Easter egg video after its over? Lol.
I felt like Johnny was frozen in time since 86 and thawed out in this timeline!
Which is badass! Cause he's not PC
The actor did play in Hot Tub Time Machine.lol
He's a bit stuck, but hopefully not totally defined by his preferences. Maybe he likes some grunge rock, for example? And where were they all on 9/11?
@@targetedindividual7931 behind glass with a sign "Break in case of an Emergency"
This is a great video, thank you for posting! I also have two more VERY subtle ones...
1. When Johnny has the cement mixer turning and asks them if they think winning the tournament makes them badass and he says "That don't mean squat!". That's a direct reference to the first film when the skeletons are beating Daniel and Bobby says "look at him Dutch, he can't even stand up!" and Dutch replies, "Yeah, that don't mean squat!"
2. And this may be a reach but I'm curious to know anyone else's views here. I think there was a very subtle reference to Julie from Next Karate Kid. When Daniel is teaching Robby and Samantha the Wheel Technique, he said it's been a long time since Miyagi Do had more than one student. WHEN did Miyagi do have more than one? The only thing I can think of is he's referring to Julie who must have trained with Miyagi past the film and then when Daniel came back from college perhaps the two of them trained together for a while? We know Daniel continued training with Miyagi after he came back from college, so perhaps there was some time when Daniel and Julie trained together. After all, the Wheel Technique IS a two-person technique. Could this be a reference or inclusion of Julie?
not a stretch at all! Nice catch on #1 as well!
Elizabeth Shue is still damn hott. Still have a crush on her.
9:24 - You're welcome
She was hot in The Adventure Of Babysitting as well...she always had that flawless face
homelander commenting on cobra kai videos lol
Proposed drinking game (non-alcoholic, please, for anyone younger than us who saw the original movies in the theater...!)
1. Drink every time somebody says "badass".
That is all.
Not directly related, but I loved when Eli came to the surface when he and Demetri were discussing the 13th Doctor and its new season.
DravenGal saying the new doctor is “badass” was cringe though. The new doctor who has utterly horrible writing sadly
Was stupid. The reference is six months out of date already.
@@tobysmith2081 I mean, you've got edgy highschoolers trying to be cool. There will always be cringe
You missed the one where Daniel jumps in to save Robbie and beat up the bad guys just like Miyagi saved Daniel on Halloween night in Karate Kid 1
Eddie Bennetto Indeed. That was an "Easter Egg" missed. I saw the same reference as well.
Yeah, good catch. When I first saw it I thought him rescuing Robby wasn't interesting enough as an Easter Egg, but watching it again, he drops down from above like Miyagi at the beginning and holds his hands out, scanning like Miyagi at the end. Definitely intentional.
Caught this one as well. I even remarked to my wife "that's just like when Miyagi saved Daniel!"
Holy CRAP! I missed that one!!! 😳
SHUT! I THINK I MISSED THIS ONE WHEN WATCHING! YOU ARE RIGHT! :D :D :D
Best one: ‘get him a body bag’ Tommy being zipped into a body bag...
lmao.
I saw that coming from the moment he was said to be terminal. In fact, I saw the whole roadtrip storyline as a device to get Tommy in a bodybag, as he wouldn't been put in one if he'd died in a hospital.
@@darthmong7196 yeah that one wasn't too difficult to figure out
Iron Eagle is a classic!
I watched it can't believe I never heard of Iron Eagle before
Top Gun is better
I agree. IE is awesome. IE:2, not so much. Sorry Johnny.
Tommy (Rob Garrison) was in Iron Eagle.
Iron Eagle is 80s gold. Between that and Top Gun, Iron Eagle is the better movie.
I think you forgot about the expressions on Tory and Johnny's faces when Kreese said "finiish him." In both Karate Kid and Cobra Kai they give him questioning looks when he said it.
Thank you for compiling this list together. Just finished Season 2 and it was amazing and this list proves how much love they have for this show!
Two ROCKY IV Easter eggs in this video (hearts on fire, no way out)! Nice StoryDive!
4:55
Best Around
Hearts on Fire
No Easy Way Out
In the season finale, Sam is holding a copy of the book “The Outsiders” which starred Ralph Macchio as the character Johnny in the movie of “The Outsiders.”
Don't know if anyone else caught this, but for his dating profile, Johnny notes that cavemen are cool . . . a reference to William Z's role as Chas in Rodney Dangerfield's "Back to School". The caveman party was supposed to be one of his fraternity's biggest and best parties of the year. Might have even called it the biggest or best "rager".
5:28 Pat Morita (Mr. Myagi) was in Bloodsport III :)
In addition to dancing with the stars, we also see Daniel is a good dancer with Kumiko in Karate Kid 2 👍
I can't believe how good this series is. At least equal to the originals that I loved as a 10 year old!
Johnny was wearing Miguel's baseball tee from season 1 in his dream sequence.
I would like to see "Lost Boys" remake/series by "Cobra Kai" creators.
There is a Lost Boys series in development at The CW from the creator of Veronica Mars, iZombie & Party Down Rob Thomas (Not the musician) which has the plan of being set over 70 years with each season taking place over a decade
That would be cool! But also sad since Corey Haim passed away and would not be able to reprise his role as Sam.
Goran Odžaklieski
Sadly, the CW is planning to make a reboot of the Lost Boys
@@SimonWakefieldUK CW will douche up The Lost Boys
I also think Coyote creek may have been he test Kreese put Jonny and his buddies on in the first Karate kid as Jonny is wearing a headband when they are introduced in the first movie. Maybe he won.
Yeah, good call. Same headband.
Lawrence Robinson but he also explains in season 1 that Ali gave him the headband on their fist date at golf n stuff
It is absolutely astounding the amount of fan service these writers were able to put into this show. And I think it's no mistake this video pointing them all out. The writers knew exactly what they were doing and were brilliant in the way they put all.of it together in a cohesive story that harkens back to the original story. I have to watch this show.
Here is a theory just wanted to run it by you all in the chat. Kreese took over Cobra Kai and he mentioned Johnny's landlord, so which means he took over by signing papers to pay the rent and ect... Now the show made it clear that Kreese was homeless and broke. Where did he get the money? Now let's see in Karate Kid III Terry Silver bank rolled Kreese to start Cobra Kai and even helped him open it again with Mike Barnes... Now does this mean Terry Silver backed Kreese again, or possibly Mike Barnes... Also did you catch in Cobra Kai season I where Johnny after the lady mistakenly thought Johnny called her a, "B****"" Johnny argues with a guy on the phone about the incident and gets fired. Did anyone notice Johnny before hanging up said, "You owe me money, Mike" could that be Mike Barnes? Just a thought, can't wait until season 3!!!!!!!
Good point
Could be Mike Barnes too. In the first scene of season 1 Johnny is talking to his boss named Mike (possibly Mike Barnes). If its the same Mike then he is a business owner and could have some money to finance the dojo.
The rental agreement was based on a handshake deal, no contracts. Creese could simply do what Johnny was doing, and pay the rent with the money from the classes.
I've heard Barnes was supposed to be on the show at some point.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY hoping for some Terry Silver, since day 1.
Man, they gotta get Terry Silver back. He could have been a cool Joker back in the day. Pay attention to the scenes he's laughing in KKIII....
He should be Miguel's Dad. It would we awesome
This is one of the best videos I've seen. Not sensationalistic, but very well thought out and full of substance. Great job dude!
Ali didn't "accept johnny's friend request." she SENT him one.
He realized his mistake and wrote a comment
Also at the end Kreese said he went and bought the dojo back from the realtor, where did he go during the time he was kicked out by Johnny to the ending scene? To see Terry? Who bought back the location ala KK3? And kreese made himself look poor to gain sympathy, who else do we know that tried that exact tactic 😁😁
Who?
Fausto Losilla Rodriguez Terry ffs 🙈🙈
@@officialcoachdanny yoooo true
@@officialcoachdanny cobra kai never dies
I guess you missed the scene where Kreese was in the homeless shelter arguing about the lock on his storage locker? I don't think he made himself "look poor".
Missed another reference... When Johnny and Daniel are having dinner, they are talking about him sitting on blueberry pie..... THAT WAS A DELETED SCENE FROM KARATE KID 1
i think johnny and daniel will work togther- and robby will feel blamed and deserted and will turn to cobra kai - my take on season 3 cobra kai
When they're training in the freezer the pallet in the scene is labeled "Fernandez Meats". Could the company be owned by Freddy Fernandez?
You never know! Daniels old neighbor could make a cameo in season 3 as well!
You know I must have seen the original Karate Kid movie a million times since it first came out in 84, and I didn't notice until this year that Freddy and his friends were at the tournament cheering for Daniel when he won. That was some bullshit. I mean don't get me wrong, I understand their reasoning for immediately distancing themselves from Daniel who inserted himself into an argument between Alli and Johnny and got the crap kicked out of him for his troubles, then again distanced themselves from him on the soccer yard when he tried to talk to them, so it made absolutely no sense on the part of the writers to show them cheering for him at the end when they'd had no other interactions.
I think you missed the one when they are the party and one kids says to Hawk. "Remember what sensei said about mercy" its a reference to what Bobby says to Johnny at school after Kreese tells them not to touch him before the tournament
that's a good one
Brumating /brew guzzling. Good job.
“A story for another time” reminded me of Disney Star Wars, and took me out of the story for a moment. New Star Wars ruined the franchise, but Cobra Kai is an amazing revelation!... without respect, we reject.
The phrase "Cobra Kai Never Dies" is actually originally from the first Karate Kid movie. The Cobra Kai students were chanting it as they jogged past Daniel, Mr. Miyagi, and Allli at the tournament, then Alli shouted "Why don't you guys grow up" at them. A lot of people seem to miss that for some reason. Probably because it was such a minor scene.
This series is epic. It is bridging the past with the present and erupting emotions across America. This is what America needed a return to classic heartfelt story telling with a powerful message in the background.
We finally got to see a bodybag. Yes!
My theory for Ali and season 3: Her and her husband are in the medical field. They are brought in to treat Diaz.
Exactly, and that’s how Johnny gets back in good graces with Migel’s mother since he’ll get Ali there somehow, kind of like a “you saved my son” moment
I thought I heard that Ali married an Orthodontist? And Johnny saying that they get all the chicks. lol
Good point for Ali, but her husband is an oncologist.
@@kiros2032 Tory with a Y is Ali with an I's daughter.
OMG my mind is blown!!! Ali is gonna treat Migel, and Tory with a Y is Ali with an I's daughter? I hope you guys are right. Such an awesome show!
Iron Eagle is a classic! That soundtrack! Come on!

The hawk sounds were so cheesy 😂
TEAM MIGUEL!! COBRA KAI NEVER DIE!!!
Good job, Sir. I enjoyed your video. Keep it coming!
The funniest was "They are calling me Daniel LaRacist here" 😂😂
8:17 Also I think this guy is Miyagi reincarnated
If you watch Robby and Miguel's fight closely in the last episode, you'll notice Robby does the illegal move Johnny did in Karate Kid Part 1 where he elbowed Daniel's knee or the back of his knee. Like father Like Son :O
I've never understood why that was an illegal move.
I hope that Cobra Kai goes for six seasons...and I hope you review "ALL SIX!"
No need to take shots at Trapper Keepers, those were the shit back in the day.
What was a trapper keeper?
@@njc84 It is probably best described as a closable binder with a front flap that could keep all of your school stuff in. Usually had some design and theme on it--cars, jets, GI Joe, TMNT, practically anything.
EnnJaySee LWOL... Google it, hah hah.
I still don't understand why the Trappers aren't still made. They held papers better than any manila folder. As for the Keeper one put the Trappers in (thus why it was called a "Trapper Keeper"), it was cheaply made and broke too easily. Should have been made out of stronger material. They could bring them back with higher quality materials and a more professional look and I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
I had a Care Bears one.
There's a "How I Met Your Mother" reference when Stingray is playing Edward 40 Hands. A favorite of Ted and Marshall's from the show, and a main reason why we have Cobra Kai in the first place.
Just finished watching season 1 & 2 and loved it. Can't wait to watch season 3 and here's my vote of having more seasons of Cobra Kai made.
Ali sent a friend request, not accepted Johnny's. Whoops. One of those ones I noticed right after uploading.
Does that make a difference?
@@nicholashoover931 Not really but I wanted to pre-strike the inevitable correction, haha.
Did Johnny send her a friend request, or did he only send her a message?
@@El_Superhombre_Blanco He sent her a message semi-accidentally and she sent him a friend request.
StoryDive An Easter egg you missed was just before Tory calls out Sam on the PA system, Sam is reading the back of The Outsiders. Ralph Macchio acted as Johnny in the movie.
You missed the bookends. Johnny shows mercy to Kreese in the fight at the start of the season and pays for it by getting kicked into the mirror. Miguel shows mercy to Robbie, and gets kicked off a balcony at the end of the season.
Can't beat the "Classics"!!
I'm glad you used the photo of Chojun Miyagi for the thumbnail - I think they do a pretty good job of paying their respects to the source material/keeping Miyagi fairly elevated. Thanks for giving the background on Goju-Ryu, that's all accurate. Only thing I'd add is that Chojun Miyagi traveled to China and returned with a lot of kung fu mastery, especially crane/Wing Chun style and mixed it with Naha Te, their local style of fighting to form Goju-Ryu. Mr. Miyagi talked about this and mixing gung fu with Te(Naha being the specific type of Te, being implied here), so it's all woven into the originals, too. That's also why Miyagi has always had a bit of an old Chinese master vibe.
I thoroughly enjoyed this review! A most excellent addendum to the show. Well played.
One other deep dive is when Demetri stands up at the party and roasts Hawk... it's an homage to when bully Greg Toland (Billy Zabka) gets roasted in the cafeteria by "nerd" Rick in "Just One of the Guys."
Looking forward to your season 3 posting.
"Excellent" video! Thanks for sharing!
I thought Miguel's fall was a reference to "The Pit" in the original Mortal Kombat game (even thought it came out in 1992 and isn't technically 80's.)
Anyone else agree?
No because i saw this scene in a action move in the 80s and i think that its more possible to be from this movie from some game...
You forgot one in episode 10
Sam is reading a book called the outsiders and in the movie of the book Ralph Macchio plays Johny Cade in the movie.
Yes! My daughter and I noticed that one too!
Well done sir! I love your comedic elements. I too noticed Mr "Get him a bodybag" being zipped into one. THAT was funny and sad. Had to make a quick correction at 15:20. "You're the inspiration" was Chicago and while Cetera WAS the lead singer at that time, it wasn't a solo song like "Glory of Love". I'm totally diggin' these characters and the arcs the writers are taking them on. You want some to stay the course and they do... mostly. Then they go "off script" and do something dumb (for the character) like Robbie continuing to fight after clearly being beaten by Miguel after remembering Robbie's dad's words about showing mercy, then Robbie proceeds to kick Miguel over the rail causing a nasty injury that only the writers will be able to tell us if he'll come back from. I can't wait for Season 3. They need to add more episodes, meter them out, or just do multiple seasons a year. I'd be cool with a spring and fall seasons with 10 episodes each. Thanks again.

Good catch! Sorry about that. I thought it was Cetera solo but should have double checked.
Glad you're enjoying the series. The characters can be frustrating and times, but I'm still hooked.
Great review. Thanks for posting. You caught a few things I missed.
THe body bag connection...mind blown!
Did anyone else start to like robbie a little more than the first season until the finale? What he did was awful. I hate him now.
@Clown Puncher 100% agree.
The first scene we see him in,he is scamming some guy's laptop by pretending to be an employee at a computer repair business.
He is unlikable right from the beginning in my opinion.
@Damon Case I'm with you there and you gotta admit she becoming like her father jumping from female to female
Damn are you guys too hard on Robbie! Those weren't "his boys." They were his old gang maybe, sure, but I think they weren't on speaking terms after the two beat the shit out of Robbie in front on LaRusso Auto when he managed to trick them with the cameras. He knew to go after them because he'd been part of their group before and knew immediately what was going on. Tory was an idiot to brag about "going around and stealing everyone's wallets." That's why Sam got so angry and went right after her and accused her of taking her mom's wallet. Tory obviously doesn't have a very strong moral code, and happily stole the vodka, is it so out of the realm of possibility that she'd follow up on her other thoughts as well? Robbie is horribly wrong in lying about the medal of honor, but he approaches Samantha near the end and gives a full confession: "It was me, I buried it out there after Miguel returned it because I was jealous and didn't want him scoring points with you." Trust me, that's a very difficult thing to do.
So many of you guys are quick to rag on Daniel for "butting into the affairs of Johnny and Ali" in the first movie, but it's ok when Miguel does it to Robbie and Sam? Also, a lot of you guys laughed and cheered when Miguel "showed no mercy" and exploited Robbie's injured arm and won the tournament. Now suddenly it's dishonorable bullshit when Robbie shows "no mercy" and kicks Miguel's ass and seriously hurts him? This is what no mercy gets you, guys. This is why it's bad.
Daniel reformed Robbie, I think. He's a good dude now, and he's trying his best. He comes from an absolute shit family and an absolute shit situation. I love both him and Miguel and cringed every time they hit each other in that fight, and was so upset when Robbie did what he did to Miguel. He was furious about getting hit so much, jealous about Miguel kissing Sam, and full of hate because he thought Miguel "took advantage" of drunk Sam. It was horrible what he did, but you have to also see his side of things. The fight was wrong to begin with, Miguel and Robbie should have been working together to stop Sam and Tory from fighting, but misunderstanding after misunderstanding made the whole situation worse, and poor Miguel paid the ultimate price for it.
@@nessadvantage9447 First scene he was in Principals office really giving Johnny a hard time. Off on a tricky foot but Daniel is turning him around. Still a way to go as the Medal of Honour thing goes and at the end his only issue was he didn't let the fight die down though there's also some bad luck because it could have easily been Hawk or someone else getting that badly injured
robbie is indeed a natural cobra.. since he is johnny's son. not suprise if in the later season, he is the kreese's final ace.
you missed where Johnny dream where he goes to Miguel mum she dressed like Alli with an I
In episode 10, Sam was reading The Outsiders book, which Ralph Macchio was in The Outsiders movie.
Here's a few that I can think of that you possibly missed :
1. Tory ( Homage to the Saved By The Bell character Tori Scott played by Leanna Creel )
2. 80's Night Episode
- John Bender ( The Breakfast Club )
- Prince
- Freddie Mercury
3. Tory and Miguel Airplane scene ( 10:36 PM was a homage to the line spoken by Big Worm in the movie Friday played by Faizon Love )
4. Carmen Fantasy Scene ( Homage to Flashdance )
5. Robby finding the drawings he did for Johnny was a homage to how Mike found his dad's letters in Over The Top.
The music played during the training montage you referenced was an homage to Bloodsport. Why didn't you mention that?
Did you miss Hawk is the name of Sylvester Stalon's character in Over The Top?
The Revenge of the Nerds references are possibly because Larry B. Scott who played Lamar in ROTN, was in Karate Kid 1 and is one of the first competitors to lose to Daniel LaRusso in the film's finale.
I like how you said "Irun Eagle" at 16:23. That was the funniest part of the video!
Come on Iron Eagle is a total 80's classic
Great video! Loved the Chuck Norris joke. Didn't see that one coming. 🤣
When Daniel and his mom are discussing their memories, they mention coney island and the wonder wheel. Really reminds me of the Warriors.
What about stingray playing Edward forty hands at the party. Loved that HIMYM Easter egg
I wondered if anyone else noticed that. HIMYM is presumably the reason this show exists and it was neat to see that reference whether it was intentional or not.
my brother born in the late 90s dont care for this show. but i was born in 82 and i freakin love it. its so good even tho its new it takes me back. best show on youtube ever!
I really enjoyed this. Thanks.
Tory’s last name is schwarber and Ali mills last name is Schwarber which tells us that Tory is related to Ali mills
That's an amazing catch if you're right. When do they say her last name? I need to check this out.
StoryDive It’s my understanding that the “Tory Schwarber” name was simply a caption that a fan attached to a publicity photo of Tory/Peyton List a couple of months ago, but it went viral and took on a life of its own.
@@slimgoodboogie2184 so its only a fan based theory then?
(You're the inspiration) is "Chicago". Get it right!!!!!!
Peter Cetera was in Chicago...
Peter Cetera was the lead singer of Chicago....
Miguel still won!! Best character!!!
