Includes The Karate Kid 1984, The Karate Kid Parts 2 & 3 1986 & 1989. The Next Karate Kid 1994. The newer movie of same name in 2010 with Jackie Chan. The one with Jackie Chan was better than I thought it would be but it was odd seeing that actor as feeble with less humor. It still doesn’t hold a candle to the original ones. There wasn’t any chemistry between the 2 main actors IMO. I watched it but can’t imagine watching it again, whereas I’ve seen the originals several times since. Then of course the newest series, Cobra Kai. A reboot of the series with the two rivals. I tried watching it but it didn’t hold me. When I looked at reviews, people are raving about this series. Something must be good if it’s going on for 4 seasons now. Have you watched any of these movies? What did you think about them? Should I give Cobra Kai another go?

I liked the first one. Second was iffy. And the other ones suck. But the first one was really good though.

There is a good chance I might get my hands on the old days Karate Kid II. I will let you know once I have it ready to watch.

I watched Cobra Kai without first watching any of the Karate Kid films. And I had to say, I rather enjoyed it: there's a great generational dynamic between the original characters and their kids, and the relationship between LaRusso and Lawrence gets a lot of development too. And of course, there are plenty of laughs along the way!
I did eventually watch the first two Karate Kid films, and I enjoyed those - although it was a bit odd how they were essentially prequels for me!
