Cobra Kai: 10 Insane Details You Definitely Missed
10. Captain Turner's Introduction
When we see flashbacks of Kreese in Vietnam during Season 3, we learn he was taught martial arts by his captain, Turner. When Kreese meets him, Turner explains that he was trained in Tang Soo Do. This is the same karate style the Cobra Kai actors were trained in while filming The Karate Kid.
He mentions to Kreese that he was mentored by a martial artist called Kim Sung Yun during the Korean War. In The Karate Kid Part III, Kreese's war partner, Terry Silver, informs Mr Miyagi he was trained by the very same sensei
If that sounds like a lot to unpack from two lines, we're not finished. Turner demonstrates the effectiveness of Tang Soo Do by tossing Kreese to the ground and driving his fist inches from his face. This is exactly what Kreese does to one of his students when Daniel and Mr Miyagi enter the Cobra Kai dojo in the original film. So, there you go. That's three Easter eggs in a span of ten seconds and the majority of viewers didn't notice any of them.
