It's corny and formulaic. Miyagi's wife and son were killed in first movie. Then all of a sudden Miyagi's father is on his deathbed and has to run to his side. Oh but wait. Miyagi left Okinawa after betraying old best friend Sato who still harbors resentment and wants to kill Miyagi. Miyagi was never married we learn, first movie lied. Miyagi Senior dies and his dying wish is that Sato and Miyagi forgive each other but Sato cannot. Then we learn Miyagi's true love never married Sato and so now Miyagi and she can rekindle love. At the same time, her niece Kumiko falls madly in love with Daniel and he falls in love with her after a few days. Meanwhile Sato's nephew Chozen bullies Daniel pretty much throughout whole movie. Finally Sato blackmails Miyagi into agreeing to fight to the death and Daniel and Kumiko profess their love. Oh but wait once again, an unannounced severe tropical storm comes and destroys the village but not without healing Sato and Miyagi. Chozen runs off in disgrace but comes back and lures Daniel into risking his life for a girl who leaves him by start of the next movie. Oh yeah. Great movie.

Daniel beat him but decided to show mercy, a move that effectively kickstarted his road to redemption. He owes Daniel big time, and he knows it. His humiliation was, ultimately, a valuable life lesson in humility.

Daniel beats Sato's top student in a fight to the death, only to get his ass kicked in the next movie by a high school student. Did he someone forget Karate between the two movies?

[@Michael-wl9if]

Well Daniel and Mike Barnes were pretty much the same age, Barnes was 17 and Daniel had just graduated high school the previous year, according to the wiki. Chozen was more about "flash and pizazz" than an actual disciplined, karate expert. He was a coward deep down, and this is shown when he refused to help Daniel help rescue the little girl in the storm. Also, he doesn't know how to take a hit like Daniel does. Not to mention, saving your crush's life and having the whole crowd root for you are pretty damn good motivators. Barnes on the other hand had won several karate tournaments already, had natural talent, but Daniel was scared shitless of him; and rightly so, the kid's a total violent nutjob who's beating up some random dude (Daniel) and his girlfriend for money. Daniel didn't even want to compete in the tournament to defend his title, he had zero motivation besides *possibly* getting the kid off his back.

When Chozen says, "I cannot hear you Uncle. I am dead to you, remeber?", it makes me feel bad for him. Chozen looked up to his Uncle as if he were his father. Everything he knew, he learned from him. Including the value of honor. So when Chozen seess his Uncle forgive Miyagi after a lifetime of hatred, as well as constatly being "disrespected" by Daniel and berated by his own Uncle, he feels like everything he knows is just falling apart. Just like he's dead to his uncle, his uncle is also dead to him.

@@beckyscleanersock8395 The knife was gone and Kumiko was no longer under threat, once the fight with Daniel started.

[@lethalwolf7455]

I think the point being made here is that pretty much the entire village was in attendance and 4-5 able bodied men could’ve certainly subdued and restrained Chosen once the knife was out of the picture, preventing a likely murder. And all facts presented in the story leading up to this point to Daniel definitely not winning this thing. Chosen had trained his entire life for this kind of thing and was even tasked with teaching hand to hand combat to US special forces, if you recall. Daniel definitely could’ve beat Johnny and possibly(but less likely) Mike Barnes in a tournament setting. But a fight to the death against Chosen would be suicide. I like to believe Daniel knew this but was willing to give his life to save the woman he loved, making his actions all the more heroic.

And in the final fight when Miyagi says "This not tournament, this for real." It hit me so hard. Life, and death. What a great movie.

Well in Cobra Kai protoganists are Johnny Lawrence and Miguel Diaz. It's them begining to train karate and reopening cobra kai dojo set's up entire story.

Johnny will need to set his score straight with Terry Silver, while Miguel will probably have to defeat another wunder kid from cobra kai. Probably not Kyler, who was beaten by so many times, that he became a living meme at this point.

[@chrisbach1533]

Strange to me why people still dont get it. Is Clubber Lang better then Ivan Drago and Apollo Creed only because Rocky was afraid of him, and Clubber destroyed him in 2 rounds? No! It was simply because Rocky was mentally not in the best state when he fought him for the first time, his peace with Mickey was troubled. In the rematch he was back to normal and beat Clubber in 3 rounds, while Apollo and Drago reached the 15th round against him. Same with Daniel in KK3. Even before Barnes and Silver showed up, for the first time Daniel and Miyagi were not in peace. Daniel wanted to defend his All Valley title + buy Miyagi a Bonsai shop, Miyagi wanted Daniel not to defend his title and not buying him the shop, go to College instead. Even if Daniel in both cases agreed, he needed days to make the decision. But he wasnt really happy about it. In KK1 Daniel fought for Ali, in KK2 he fought for Kumiko, but in KK3 he fought for nothing and nobody. This changed in the last second when Barnes insulted Miyagi, called him a fake and phony. This was the moment when Daniel had a real reason to fight him. Even Miyagi told him: "Your best Karate is still inside you, now its time to let it all out", i mean Miyagi realized Daniel wasnt at his best. Then Daniel unleashed his best Karate and Barnes was defeated by one counter move. Next example: In KK2 Daniel destroyed 6 thick ice blocks with one strike. In KK3 he had trouble to break a single inch board. And look how Johnny, Dutch, Jimmy, Tommy, Bobby, Chozen and Barnes fought against Mr Miyagi himself: After ONE attack from Miyagi, Johnny, Dutch, Jimmy, Bobby and Barnes were out cold. Chozen survived the first attack from Miyagi and took the spear again. After the second attack he was on the floor, but not out like Barnes, Johnny and the others, he was still able to call Miyagi a coward. The director of KK and Rocky was John Avildsen, and it looks like he wanted to repeat the Rocky 3 story in Karate Kid 3, making a plot when the hero is mentally not at his best state and more vunerable because of that. Rocky and Daniel were both scared of Clubber and Barnes, but this was not because those two were better as their other opponents, it was mainly because they both were mentally not 100%, the had lost their eye of the tiger. And when Barnes fans always say he beat Daniel before in street fights. Yes, so did Chozen too! He completely toyed with Daniel in Okinawa. Daniel only landed one cheap shot on him when Chozen looked the side, so Daniel could run away with Kumiko. Chozen even beat Daniel up easy when Daniel had a spear as weapon. Cobra Kai Season 5 underlined again how Daniel LaRusso is: The guy is a hot shot, stubborn but a good guy. And he needs a reason to fight. His two fights with Silver should end this discussion once and for all. In the first fight he was mentally not balanced (like mostly in KK3) and his wife and children had left him, in the second fight he was 100% balanced and his wife and children supported him. Watch KK1 and KK3 again: Both Johnny and Barnes won their fights 3-0, i mean all of them. They didnt loose one point. So you see they are not far away from each other, maybe relative equal. The difference was in KK1 Daniel fought for Ali and himself, while in KK3 he fought for nobody, only in the final moment for Miyagi after Barnes insulted Miyagi.

Cobra Kai S3 brings back memories of Karate Kid II.

[@patuno335]

This is probably the best musical score timed perfectly with this scene in the whole KK series

[@linkbiff1054]

I’m glad Chozen got his “revenge” decades later. It was so cool

[@dabigguy7788]

Imagine if hed lost!!! What the hell would miyagi have said when he got back home?? Ah miss larusso, good news, miyagis friend who wanted wanted to kill me? Well were cool now, problem is his nephew, Chozen, had a fight with daniel-san! Miyagi tried to help but they were on a small island surrounded by about 3 feet of water! We all banged our little drums but it was no good! Chozen beat daniel-san to death infront of all of us and this new girl he was banging! It was horrible!!! So sorry, must dash, hows that little tree miyagi gave you?

[@BruceWayne-fj9bm]

He had confidence Daniel would win.

[@SuperChalkster]

@@BruceWayne-fj9bm alright superman

[@SuperChalkster]

@@BruceWayne-fj9bm i mean batman lol

[@moegamadebraheemfredericks6557]

Lmao

[@markmac2206]

when Mrs. LaRusso came to his place to ask questions he would use "no be there" technique.

[@JarvisBaileyVA]

Great to see Chozen changed himself.

[@supportingsmallyoutubers4300]

I still remember sitting in the theater watching this as a kid, and thinking… “Holy crap! He blocked the crane kick!”

[@sohummohare6364]

Tbh that move is really predicatable

[@curtislevere7282]

3:18 I love this part

[@andreweggleston4410]

Villains can turn into heroes and heroes can turn into villains it's the way it happens in movies, tv shows, and in real ife too.

[@crashpal]

Like that black kid who got bullied by Anthony Larusso.

[@hyper2k264]

Came back from watching cobra Kai, Daniel has really came a long way man

[@ngfsemlimites]

the best fight in the franchise. the best karate kid

[@AhkymBrizzy]

The best ‘Karate Kid’ movie in my book.

[@thomasswan4409]

Is no one gonna talk about how Chozen just came down from who knows where just wearing like Scorpion

[@rockin_rc8624]

Chozen watching opera of seas is the best thing in cobra kai

[@frolicols]

Only natural, he loved watching The Truman Show after all

[@pacifistattack]

This alway got me. these two Karate experts, trained in advanced techniques for attack and defense and the final move that is used to end the fight is...a few hook punches. No technique or skill set at all, just regular punches. that for some reason he did not defend against.

[@bilibilibd2598]

they arent punches its another karate technique specifically countering an attack to the torso, he is using the back of his hands

[@BruceWayne-fj9bm]

The technique was blocking and attacking simultaneously. You could see that Chozen tried to punch. But Daniel was using one hand to punch and one hand to block at the same time.

[@believer1056]

is it just me but Daniel is weak asf like he has lost to everyone a lot of times but he does get stronger in cobra kai

[@kevjun252]

In my head canon this is Karate Kid 3. Ending the trilogy in a fight to death seems more fitting and he doesn't look as helpless here than with against Barnes.

[@Rob_13Ez]

35 years later: Chozen becomes a fan favorite character 😅

[@noypilegacy3996]

I can't believe this is how Chozen displayed his likeness for Kumiko XD

[@XhelilTotaj]

I think we all severly underestimate LaPusso’s fighting skills in the KK movies, he is fighting with a mf who has years of training and is genetically predisposed to be a fighter and bro beat him and showed similar skill level with maybe 1 year of training

[@angelomordini6779]

Rewatching this after Chozen said he loves Kumiko

[@dani-boy6420]

30 years later……..EYE OF THE TIGER Driver: It’s the karate bad boy.

[@pmerjudio]

honk then triumphant music immediately after is amazing

[@iceyplayz3388]

I always thought it was hilarious how Chozen is just in the background casually ziplining towards them, and how he screams on his way down. I just can’t take it seriously.

[@elchichosantana6410]

Chozen knew Terry Silver's address! 😂😂😂

[@bornokification]

Hahaha yeah

[@SpecialOrder_937]

I always wondered if Chozen’s costume in this fight inspired Mortal Kombat’s poster boy Scorpion?

[@martinmadrazo6189]

Same people who are literally best friends in Cobra Kai

[@connorredshaw7994]

Chozens character development from the second film to the cobra Kai TV show is really well done definitely one of my favourite characters in this franchise so far

[@orcamaster4645]

The way he countered the crane kick like that

[@brian-vz5hz]

It's a nice touch really. Shows how much more knowledgeable and skilled Chozen is as opposed to Johnny in the first movie. Chozen makes Johnny look like a chump to be honest

[@healthonus3931]

Only if johnny did that to grab his crane kick and daniel would've lost
