Trivia: Sean Kanan starred in a 1987 horror film where his father owned a furniture store. The entire film was shot in a furniture store. No doubt the CK writers did this intenionally.
@@Pierre-LucBeauregard Yep. Called "Hide and Go Shriek" it's actually pretty fun watch. Has a twist at the end too. But Sean doesn't like talking about it.
@@mysticranger6894 I'm not sure. I have a few opinions, but it might have something to do with the LGBT community and part of the plot twist. I think he's a big supporter. Maybe he thinks the film puts them in a bad light? I don't know.
I've seen a bunch of Kanan interviews , and every time someone gives him credit for how good of an actor or martial artist he is, he always seems to give credit to the writers and co-stars instead. Dude is insanely humble.
@@ZiggieChick3 Same. I had long been wondering how Jessica Andrews might fit into the Cobra Kai story, and it's clever how the producers managed it. Apparently, Jessica and Daniel stayed in touch after the events of KKIII, and at some point, Jessica introduced Daniel to her cousin Amanda...and the rest is history. I watch Karate Kid III a lot differently now, knowing how instrumental Jessica would be to Daniel's life later on. I also *loved* how we even got to meet Elizabeth Ann Rooney, who's still as much a bitch now as she was in 1985. If they can successfully bring such a minor offscreen character as her into the series, they can do it for anyone. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we see ol' Ned from The Next Karate Kid in Season 6 of Cobra Kai, or perhaps in the upcoming 2024 film.
Loved how Mike (fucking) Barnes was reintroduced into the show. Became kind of a wildcard. Just having the movies' 3 former villains be the ones to (drunkenly) attempt to take down Terry Silver was awesome. Definitely hoping he comes back. If there's a "Cobra Kai: Endgame", he needs to be there lol. Awesome that you got to interview him!
Loved this interview. Barned better be back for season 6, did not get enough of him in season 5. Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and Mike together is unbeatable.
I was so glad to see Mike Barnes back. Absolutely loved his character in karate kid and cobra Kai is returning was so bad ass when he got revenge on silver
I have to say Sean looked great in the show. I haven't seen him in IDK how many yeas. I liked his character. I hope to see more Mike. Sean seems like a cool dude.
Sean Kanan seems like a really sweet guy who absolutely loves everything about this show. Gotta give him credit on the fight scenes too. Those punches looked like they had some weight on them lol.
Great interview bro. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I would see Johnny, Chozen, and Mike f'n Barnes on the same screen trying to take down Terry Silver. That was unforgettably awesome
He looks different on here then he did in the show. The camera really does seem to add lbs to them. Was very cool to see all these cobra kai interviews! Keep up the big things kristian!
I love how Mike was simply OP when he popped up into Cobra Kai, I truly can see how different the finale fight would have gone if Mike weren't blindsided with a lamp and taken out of most of it. Mike took out three people though with only basically three moves, two after a possible concussion with no resistance from them. Badass.
Thank you for realizing the stylistic beauty that is the karate bad boy’s style. He would definitely beat Johnny, and obviously put the work/pressure on chozen when he appeared. #STILLTHEBESTOFTHEFOURORIGINALKIDS
I love Mike Barnes.. I was a little bummed because I was hoping he'd get more to chew on as far as screentime goes, but hopefully they give him more to do next season as they did with Chozen this season. Great interview as always Kristian💪
He had a blessedly busy 2021 professionally due to the hard work of his manager-wife: Bold and the Beautiful, Cobra Kai, Young and Restless, and more-along with Chozen, Mike Barnes was the heart and humor of Season 5 in the limited time he was able to participate in CK👍🏼
Mike Barnes' return was epic. I think a great idea for a spinoff is since Barnes' business was destroyed by Terry Silver, and he no longer needs to worry about money thanks to the "donated" Rembrandt Terry gave him, is that Mike starts his own private investigator business to atone for his past by helping others, in an anti-hero sort of way of course.
Awesome!! Great Questions. I just find it so ironic that Kannan, Zabka, and of course especially especially Ralph look sooo young for their age!! Ralph is 61 & was born in 61?! He is older than Thomas Ian Griffith who plays “Silver”& a Vitnam vet in real life 1985. Just had to bring that up. Anyone I tell that to as like no way whether their karate kid and cobra Kai junkies like us or not. By the way it’s not that Griffith looks old for his age it’s just that these guys look so freaking young like my age I’d say 43 what do you say so? I think most would. I mean help I have all my hair and have a glow to me at that age like Sean does. Probably won’t lol :(
The only thing now is for season 6 who comes back? im not bothered to see Julie or anybody from the next karate kid, Mike Barnes was the last one I wanted to see. I would like to see more created flash backs like they have to explain how things came to be such as when they showed Kreeses and Silvers training in Korea. I really want to see a spin off showing a young Miyagi and Sato.
6:42 - Sean Kanan was right about this if you go to the youtube videos that shit was funny as hell watching Johnny warming up to "The Bad Boy" control intense Mike Barnes on Eagle Fang is what the doctor ordered for season 6. Barnes is the the only guy that has Karate World Champion experience that's why he is the BAD BOY... The writers clearly know this they are more hardcore into the show than any of us or else this show would not be the masterpiece my expectations for season 6 Mike Barnes more time for him on the show and fight with Senesi Kim and Julie Pierce
I would like Barnes to be the Senesi to Eagle Fang Karate and Chozen stay with Daniel at Miyagi Do and i think Krease will be teams with the Asian chick and Silver even though Thomas Ian from the sound of him sounds like his run is over. I would love to see Hillary Swank on Season 6
Kinda spoilers on the thumbnail, but I'm not mad at all. I was going to skip this season, but now I have a reason to watch. I wonder why they kept him a secret. I hope Hilary Swank comes back for a scene.
Season 5 kicked ass each season keeps getting better and I believe it can keep going. For at least till a season 10. There few more villains to come into the cobra cau verse like Michael ironside military guy from next karate kid. Could of know. Terry silver as well and. Could be one of his friends that he talks about which would be a good way to bring Julius into the mix and team up with miague do and eagl fang and Barnes can get back into karate also what about the 2 bad boys that were with Barnes in kk 3. Or butch from kk 1. So many opertnites and option for Cobra Kai keep it going cobra cau never dies

The world needs more Mike Barnes next season.

Sean Kanan is such a great great guy... :) Every interview he's in, you can feel his genuine passion and see how nice of a human being he is.
It was so cool seeing Sean Kanan as Barnes and Robyn Lively as Jessica Andrews back this season, it's awesome!
Lively came back to??
@@unropednope4644 Yeah she was Amanda's cousin
I like how Jessica is the connection between Daniel and Amanda.

Kanan as Barnes is pure gold and we need much more from him in season 6. A spin-off with Johnny and Barnes would be phenomenal lol.
I have been saying this thank you so much
I really appreciate the hard work you do Kristian on the Cobra Kai interviews and spoilers. You're a dedicated fan like myself.
Thank you Valerie!
@@TheKristianHarloff Yeah,Thanks bro..John Avidsen didn't like Karate Kid 3..But I loved it...
Loved this interview. Barned better be back for season 6, did not get enough of him in season 5. Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and Mike together is unbeatable.
Dope! Glad he came back to the show, his character was pretty one dimensional in the movie. Great interview!
I was so glad to see Mike Barnes back. Absolutely loved his character in karate kid and cobra Kai is returning was so bad ass when he got revenge on silver
That's awesome never realized he was a guest star in the 80's series WEREWOLF. Absolutely love that show.
Finally finished the season and was able to watch this. So glad you got to do this interview, it was great
I have to say Sean looked great in the show. I haven't seen him in IDK how many yeas. I liked his character. I hope to see more Mike. Sean seems like a cool dude.
Man i am glad you did this interview (great one by the way). Thank you and Mr Sean Kanan
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sean is fantastic bad guy .Great class guy he is awesome
Love that guy
Great interview. Sean was amazing in season 5!
Sean Kanan seems like a really sweet guy who absolutely loves everything about this show. Gotta give him credit on the fight scenes too. Those punches looked like they had some weight on them lol.
He is great.
Season 5 was incredible the soundtrack was excellent
Great interview bro. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that I would see Johnny, Chozen, and Mike f'n Barnes on the same screen trying to take down Terry Silver. That was unforgettably awesome
Karate Kid part 3 was great gets a lot of criticism but I really enjoyed it.
karate kid 2 was my favorite movie but seeing all three on screen was so amazing for me to see in this show
He looks different on here then he did in the show. The camera really does seem to add lbs to them. Was very cool to see all these cobra kai interviews! Keep up the big things kristian!
Wow great interview bro 💯 big salute 🫡

Nice Interview Brother, Look forward to these every season from you. Stay well
I do hope Barnes is back for 6, I can see them not writing him in but it'd be awesome to get more fighting from karates bad boy.
I love Mike Barnes.. I was a little bummed because I was hoping he'd get more to chew on as far as screentime goes, but hopefully they give him more to do next season as they did with Chozen this season.
Great interview as always Kristian💪
Thank you and I agree, let's hope more for Season 6!

Noice!!!!!! Good stuff Kristian
Great interview, thanks as always for the great content
Great interview.
Awesome interview 🙂
I’m enjoying Sean kanan on bold and the beautiful
Watching all these interviews and browsing some of the wiki pages and all I can think is "maybe it's time to watch Part II and III of The Karate Kid."
love these interviews!
Great show! Love this guy!
I think Barnes and Lawrence would work well running a dojo together! They’re very similar in a way.
Love this
Sean Kannan rules!
Cómo molaría ver un dojo de Mike barnes y Jhonny Lawrence junto a Daniel y chozen
Sapranos painting in the background 😅

The creators had talked about a spinoff at one point.
he looks like a real life action figure
Ha

I was very disappointed we didn't get a real Mike vs Terry fight.
They should do a Mike Barnes spin off series
The store scene with Mike and Chosen stole the show its normally $1200 for u 2 grand!
How did you get him on for an interview?
You awesome 🤩 😊
Love that show Werewolf!
I’m gonna be devastated if Mike doesn’t play a big role in season 6
SAME!
Great interview he seems like a really nice bloke
"Your karate's shit!"
"I own you, LaRusso!"
YUP!
Totally great and nice personality .. which shows how great of an actor he is.. since you really believe he is a Dick in all of his roles
Mike barnes will have a bigger rrole next seaoson i bet.
Mike Barnes will let loose in season 6 or 7 the same way Chozen was let loose in season 5.
Kinda spoilers on the thumbnail, but I'm not mad at all. I was going to skip this season, but now I have a reason to watch. I wonder why they kept him a secret. I hope Hilary Swank comes back for a scene.
Nah not a spoiler. The creators released a photo of him coming back a while ago.
I think Hilary is Torry's mom.
@@mattshafer1959 that's stupid

I was glad to see him returning but I do not like what they did with his character.
