Cobra Kai: 10 Insane Details You Definitely Missed
5. So. Many. Lines.
After The Karate Kid came to Netflix, it wasn't long before Cobra Kai fans revisited the 1980s classic. After rewatching it, most viewers noticed many lines from Cobra Kai are recycled from the film. When Ali meets Daniel in Season 3, she refers to him as "Daniel with an 'l'", which is how he introduced himself to her in the original film. Tory is introduced similarly when she refers to herself as "Tory with a 'y'".
In the series and the film, Kreese tells Daniel that attacking him is "open season". When Johnny shoves Kreese's hand away in the opening of Season 2, his old sensei utters, "I like that." This is exactly what Kreese said when he first met Mr Miyagi. When the committee have a meeting in Season 3, one of the audience members pronounces Miyagi's name as "Miyajee". This is how Daniel said Miyagi's name when they first met. In Season 1, Daniel asks Kyler what happened to his eye and hand. In the film, Miyagi asked Daniel the same question after Johnny beat him up.
Honestly, there's so much repeated dialogue, it's probably faster to say all the lines in Cobra Kai that WEREN'T in The Karate Kid.
