Summary

Cobra Why The Karate Kid franchise has had nothing but victories lately. The 2010 remake was a box-office success, and fans flocked to YouTube and Netflix for Cobra Kai. Now, Sony wants to high-kick this franchise back into theaters and combine the universes, having both Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan as teachers to young Li Fong (Ben Wang). But with those senseis relegated to glorified cameos, and the karate coming late into the film, will audiences be disappointed in this film that focuses as much on boxing as martial arts? And can it live up to the nostalgic joy of Cobra Kai? Join Arnie, Jason, and Brock now to find out!
