Danny Kamekona (Sato) was a childhood friend of my father. He was a very nice man. RIP. fun fact: the little girl in the bell tower that Daniel saved is Traci Noguchi - she became Miss Hawaii in 1995. lastly, many of the scenes that are supposed to be in Okinawa were filmed in Kane'ohe, on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i...
Wow! That’s very cool that your family knew the actor in person. He did a wonderful job playing Sato. I love how Yuna came back in Cobra Kai as well. She’s a very attractive actress and it’s easy to see her as Miss Hawaii!
Those beginning scenes with Kreese trying to choke out Johnny were shot with the intent that it would be the end of the first movie, but for whatever reason, they cut it from that movie and used it for the beginning of this movie. For whatever reason, it works.
Actually, although that scene was written for KK1, it was never shot in 1984. When KK2 started filming (2 years later) in 1986, they brought the cast back to shoot that scene (from the cutting room floor). The reason I know that scene was shot years later, is because "Dutch" Chad McQueen, who had bleached blonde hair, in KK1, is seen here, with a wig on. He's trying to cover it up with the baseball cap. He's a natural brunette, so they had to try to make him look the same as KK1. But if you pause it focus on him, you can see the wig. And there are other subtle differences if you put screenshots of the Cobra Kai members (from KK2) next to KK1. Like Jimmy (the brunette), in KK1 he had bangs... his hair in KK2 parking lot is combed back in a different style.
We know Pat Morita was a stand up comedian before all this and tv roles on sitcoms (Happy Days). That's why they almost didn't consider him for the role of Miyagi. But he pulled it off.
This movie sets up a lot of prequel and sequel possibilities if they want to continue the Miyagi-verse. There is so much that can be explored in future movies or TV shows with Daniel, Mr. Miyagi, Sato, Chozen and Kumiko.
We were saddened to hear that Season 6 will be the last but also excited for the future of the Miyagiverse. A series exploring the past of some of the Okinawa characters would be an excellent idea!
I lived in Hawaii when they filmed this movie there in the 1980s. I remember seeing the movie set from a distance at night, but was too busy going to school and working to try to visit the set. If I had a time machine, I would go back to that time and try to meet Pat Morita, Ralph Macchio, Yuji Okumoto (Chozen) and Tamlyn Tomita (Kumiko). Of course, at the time, I would not have known who Yuji Okumoto or Tamlyn Tomita were and that they would later become successful and star in some good movies (Tomita in "Joy Luck Club") and TV shows (Okumoto in "Walker, Texas Ranger") in their own rights.
Sato knew right from wrong. Foolish pride took over and he claimed he was dishonored. Mr. Miyagi did the honorable thing by not fighting. In the end Sato's life was saved. He learned about true Honor and Friendship.
ah yes i this is the Sequel that i love the most chozen was a very menacing Villain and i love Daniel's romance with Kumiko and his strong Relationship with Miyagi
Yeah, it was pretty dumb to let the girl ring the bell during the storm. Fun fact: The girl who played Yuna, the bell ringer, was Traci Toguchi, who later became Miss Hawaii 1995-1996. She recently ran for Honolulu City Council Member, but I think she was not elected.
@@kai_masters Not only that, but also when Traci Toguchi was 9 years old, she won a karaoke contest in the Taikai division. The word Taikai will mean something in the "Cobra Kai" universe, but not until season 5. There is a lot of other stuff that future episodes will tie in to interesting real life situations, but I don't want to spoil it for you. Maybe I can comment when you get to those episodes.
Chopping the six blocks was what Daniel wanted to do during the demonstration at Valley Fest, but Cobra Kai came along and stole Miyagi-do's thunder during the "Fire and Ice" episode of "Cobra Kai" in season 2.
Es lo que en ls mejor en la saga karate kid en que Los me me ha pasado en las ocas a esta cambiado en los Tres dojo en la serie cobra kai 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Que en las más peleas en que ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw Yuji Okumoto(chozun) in many interviews on TH-cam and he’s a cool and funny dude. 👍🏼 he also along with his wife own two successful (local grindz) type restaurants in Washington state…that’s dope 💯
Daniel keeps getting called a trouble maker and aggressive but he's only been defending himself and meeting the true real bullies eye to eye in karate kid 1,2,3 i do revenge on my bullies alot worse than Daniel did his trust me haha
Daniel isn’t a bully but he definitely sticks his nose into other people’s business. Like how he accuses Chozen of cheating the villagers and intervenes in the argument between Ali and Johnny. Those actions, while somewhat noble, put a target on his back unfortunately.
@@kai_masters chozen admitted to cheating , and if a young man sees another boy treating a girl like shit or breaking her things or hitting her and doesn't do something about it in her defense then that must be a peace of shit child with shitty parents ...

2:20 What you said, Phil: That's the trophy Kreese brings to Johnny (at the beginning of Cobra Kai, season 2), pushes me to urge you AGAIN: Watch all the films BEFORE going ahead with season 3. The flashbacks are not season = film, this is why watching and remembering all the movies will give you context to all of them. 8:50 Andrea just made my point, you remember the drum, all memories and stories are like the movies flashbacks as well, the Cobra Kai show is not season per film... WOW, I love the music in this one, even more the music of the first movie, which is saying something...
We appreciate your great suggestion but we’ve already filmed a few episodes of Season 3 for our Patreon subscribers. If we had a do-over, we may have watched and reacted to the films before the show, but I think it’s also interesting to see the movies afterwards to gain a new perspective on childhood memories as we had watched all three films as kids. And yes, the music rocks! Glory of Love” is a great song ❤️

10:15 Sato: "Out of respect for my teacher, i give you 3 days to mourn."
If i was Miyagi, i'd be like... my plane leaves in 4 days.
😂

Mr. Miyagi honking Kreese’s nose establishes the precedent for Daniel doing the same to Chozen 😂

Wow! Great attention to detail! We’ll have to go back and check it out!
the scuffle miyagi had with krese in the opening scene foreshadows the drum technique
Both scenes showcased the ability to dodge punches.
Miyagi was funny after the ice break incident. "You get college tuition; we get Chinese food."
He’s lowkey hilarious 😂
We know Pat Morita was a stand up comedian before all this and tv roles on sitcoms (Happy Days).

Sato knew right from wrong. Foolish pride took over and he claimed he was dishonored. Mr. Miyagi did the honorable thing by not fighting. In the end Sato's life was saved. He learned about true Honor and Friendship.
Too bad Chozen didn’t learn the same lesson!
@@kai_masters I agree. Fighting is stupid. It takes a lot more courage to make peace than to fight. It never solves a problem.
ah yes i this is the Sequel that i love the most chozen was a very menacing Villain and i love Daniel's romance with Kumiko and his strong Relationship with Miyagi
Daniel and Kumiko were great together! We were sad that it didn’t last 😢
@@kai_masters me too she was my favorite love interest for Daniel

Wow! You’re extremely well versed on the movies and TV show. Interesting how the actress’ last name is the same as Chozen’s last name in the movie 🧐

That was a great callback 👍
Hard to believe Pat Morita played Arnold in "Happy Days". Bahahahahhaahah! 🤣🤣🤣

Hi have you guys seen the martial arts movies Best Of The Best, or Bloodsport? Classics and worth a watch if you haven't
We haven’t seen them but we can add them to the suggestions list! ✍️
I saw Yuji Okumoto(chozun) in many interviews on TH-cam and he’s a cool and funny dude. 👍🏼 he also along with his wife own two successful (local grindz) type restaurants in Washington state…that’s dope 💯
Wow! That is badass! 👍
@@kai_mastersyea it is! 🤩 he has a good body of work (both in tv & movies) and, plays a good nerd too 😂
John Kreese is in the third Karate Kid film, hope you react to that at least before season 4.
That’s our plan! 👍
ya, chozen is tough. it takes him and two cronies to tear up a dojo and uproot a garden
Typhoon hits and real honor shows when the people come out to help each other
That’s a great point!
Aside from the movie being an excellent sequel, Bill Conti's instrumental score makes for a phenomenal soundtrack.
The sequel is definitely an underrated film! As you mention, the music is great and the scenery is amazing!
Chozen thought of the drum as nothing more than a baby rattle. he has no honor for the roots of his own karate education
"Remember, best block, no be there."
Great advice from a wise man!
The girl Daniel saved was also in cobra Kai season 3 😊
That’s right! And she ended up returning the favour by saving his business 😉
good reactions guys from a wonderful sequel
Thanks for watching and supporting us! 💪
🎵Listen To Your Heart !🎵
"It knows right from wrong, let it guide you..."
@@MGillDesign . Great song from The Little River Band.." The Glory Of Love " is good in this as well
Great reaction some callbacks and more stuff to this movie could be in season 3 so try to look for clues and callbacks
II has always been my favorite…Chozen is a beast!! And that’s all I’ll say………..
He has badass fighting skills…👊
21:35 Am I missing the part where Daniel belches (and ruins the mood)?
Lol…we don’t remember that 😮
blashphemy: KK II is possibly a better story and production than movie #1, which is a beloved, funny, heartfelt melodramatic classic!
They’re both great in their own ways!
Kumiko really is a pretty gal
Daniel keeps getting called a trouble maker and aggressive but he's only been defending himself and meeting the true real bullies eye to eye in karate kid 1,2,3 i do revenge on my bullies alot worse than Daniel did his trust me haha

Daniel is very honorable and noble, which we agree with. Unfortunately, it made him enemies in Johnny and Chozen, who, as young men, were both jerks.
