REACT ON SQUID GAME PLS SOUTH KOREAN THRILLER GAME SERIES DRAMA BY THE WAY PLS REACT TO IT
LOVE FROM INDIA
The highlander is a movie from around the time the karate kid 1 came out.
Its about an "immortal" swordfighter who is in war with other "immortals" who can only die if they behead each other or something like that if i remember correctly
I was very disappointed from Amanda at the kids birthday place. She was a real dick.
BTW, check out Rapid Fire with Brandon Lee. Very good movie.
Why is the cobra snake on the screen
@@armandosimon9274 good question. Can you get rid of that watermark?
When Daniel did Chozen's move, Johnny took Daniel down the same way Daniel took Johnny down on his 2nd point in the tournament in the Karate Kid movie. Also I'm glad someone finally noticed the random kids in the background talking at the end.
Similar but not quite the same takedown
“Joonbi” and “kyung nae” are both commands used in Taekwondo (or Korean martial arts in general) which heavily influenced Cobra Kai’s style (from Tang soo do).
Indeed. They mean "stand to attention" and "bow", respectively, although the spellings between TSD and TKD vary somewhat. For instance, as a TAGB TKD student, I was used to seeing them spelt as chun-bi and kyong-ye.
Yeah I can confirm this as well. Joonbi is a Tae Kwon Do Ready term I heard alot in my Tae Kwon Do days and therefore Korean
Definitely. When I trained some *mumble*30 years ago*mumble* we used these terms. I was taught that "joonbi" was a groin block.
@@theradgegadgie6352 joonbi/chimbi is stand at ready, 차렷 charyeot is attention. For example to tell someone to get into a fighting stance you would say Kyorugi joonbi.
@@captainbeaver_man903 Blergh.... you are right, of course. I thought there was a third step in there, but my memory wouldn't cooperate with me and provide it.
Never heard of kyorugi joonbi, however.
The Korean spoken by Terry Silver is reflective of Cobra Kai's style being based in Tang Soo Do.
This was stated during one of the Vietnam War flashbacks when the officer who taught Kreese karate had learned it during the Korean War.
@@ItsMeBarnaby and i believe billy zabka actually trained in tsd before he was in the karate kid
@@mr.mythogator08 As soon as I read your comment about him, he's in my recommendations😂
@@mr.mythogator08 he actually stuck with it after the movie, up to second degree green belt
dumb, they should just stick with Japanese
It pays homage to the founder of Kyokushin karate who practiced Taekkyon as a child came from Korea to Japan during the Korean occupation.
The highlander is an old film/ tv show. The slogan was, There can only be one. It's a hilarious line for them to use right there, imo. The writing is so good with the series.
It isn’t THAT old!! Dang kids!
@@playfulpanthress It is that old. Time moves on. We all have to accept that. The basic premise is that there are a limited number of immortals, and they have to kill each other until there is only one immortal left. Or more accurately, you are not truly immortal until you are the only one left standing.
@@playfulpanthress A quarter of a century, that's old. There are 25 year olds who haven't ever heard of it.
@@Ozymandias1 Yes. And they are lame.
The 1st film was made in the 1980s
Cobra Kai Season 5 in June!
Lies
What the fuck LMAO
Super! I'll be there.
Of all places 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥 ayooo
@@kaljamaha22 lol it’s verified
I was laughing so hard at Johnny and Daniel going through a training montage literally the morning before their fight. As if they were going to get into fighting shape in a couple of hours.
Maybe not but thy can get the fighting spirit
@@richardmoores Or just wear themselves out. lol
@@KurNorocki knew some wrestlers and BJJ guys that did non-rigorous training on the day of fights just to burn some of the nervous energy.
Highlander is a classic action/fantasy movie series starring Christopher Lambert - the students are referring to Terry's appearance like him.
If you ever watched Mortal Kombat (1995), he's the actor who played Raiden (but everybody mispronounces his name as Ray-den).
They might be referencing the tv show that starred Adrian Paul, who wore his hair in a ponytail for most of the series.
Came here to explain about Highlander so glad someone else already did! As for Raiden, they don't really mispronounce his name in the movie, the issue is Ray-den is the official pronunciation in the games too, for reasons I can't comprehend.
@@bryanhallman8183 loved that show, lots of swordfights
@@the_only_andy I’d guess the pronunciation was because it was an American company in the ‘90s that didn’t research the name. Sure they could have checked with a local University but it probably didn’t matter much to Boon & Tobias at Midway due to time and cost to get said info.
@@bryanhallman8183 Yes, I believe they're referring to Highlander the TV series from 1992. The movie is definitely a cult classic.
Hello Yusuke!
Thank you for taking the time to do these reaction videos.
Really appreciate hearing your input from your Karate/Japanese expertise.
References you asked about:
1:01 Highlander is a 1986 fantasy film about immortal warriors battling each other until there is only one left. There was a popular television show (1992-1998) based on the movie where the main character had long hair in a ponytail just like Terry Silver.
4:25 Bayer is a pharmaceutical company in the United States mostly known for their aspirin.
5:20 Johnny is using a Sony Walkman cassette player. Probably the most popular personal music player in the 80s.
7:25 Cobra Kai is based on the Korean martial art Tang Soo Do. In Season 3 Episode 6, we see that Kreese and Silver studied under an Army captain (who learned Tang Soo Do from Master Kim Sun Yung during the Korean War). This same master was mentioned in Karate Kid 3.
Behind the scenes, in Karate Kid (1984) film, Pat E. Johnson (who played the referee in the All Valley Tournament) was a Tang Soo Do black belt who trained all of the Cobra Kai actors. This is why they all stand, move, and use different techniques from Daniel during the tournament.
All of the commands the you hear Johnny and Silver say are Korean:
Joon-bee = Ready Position
Chah-ryut = Attention
Kyung-nae = Bow
Nice observation about the slapping at the sides when standing at attention!
Coming from a TaeKwonDo background I never realized that this isn’t done in Karate.
Another interesting note is that we were taught to *not* make eye contact when bowing.
Just so you know, Highlander is a series of films and tv shows based on immortal warriors that could only be killed if their heads are cut off, and Terry Silver with his ponytail looks like one of the protagonists Duncan McCleod.
You should definitely watch the Highlander movies/series. The movies starred Christopher Lambert (Raiden in the Mortal Kombat movie) and the series starred Adrian Paul (the character that Terry Silver resembles). Both featured a lot of martial arts, 5hough the series made it more of a focus.
That might be why he said that😆🤦♂️
Adrian Paul was built different than Terry but that was a cool thing to watch growing up as he played Duncan shadowboxing/ drilling late into the night before callin it a day at the dojo. That sword was gorgeous.
@@farbauti5398 I bought a replica of Duncan's katana as an anniversary present for my first wife. The handle was a bit long, and the tang was a bit short; but it was still a pretty sword. And since we weren't fighting any immortal swordsmen, it was just as serviceable as my Damascus steel gim
Oh, I doubt they've aged well. But... wow. For 11-16 year olds, back when they came out? That movie, and then the TV series, was about the best thing going. But, fair warning - pretend the sequels to the first movie were never made. And, of course, with the movie coming out in 1986, at the peak of U.S. obsession with all things Japanese (or occasionally Australian), the main character wields a Katana.
@@ahwhite2022 The katana was more than thousand years old and was made personally for Connor McLeod's mentor the Spaniard/Egyptian dude (played by Sean Connery) who was much older than him. This piqued the interest of the female detective who was investigating the case, she was also an expert on ancient bladed weapons. Of course they became lovers.
@@Ozymandias1 , yes, the Spaniard/Egyptian dude with a Scottish accent gave it to the Scottish dude with the French accent.
5:18, knowing Johnny... it was probably an old Sony Walkman that had a radio and cassette player. He mentioned in an earlier season, when he first learned about the internet and was making that commercial, he made the comment about his cassette for the song he wanted played in the commercial was in his car. So is his Walkman with cassette and radio from the 80's.
it was
In the 1980's the Sony Walkman was the best known wearable tape cassette player.
Ooh! Looks like Yusuke-sensei caught the quick crane kick. I don't know why, but I don't see many people talking about it being used mid-combat in this episode.
Because it wasn't the crane. Just a quick jump kick.
@@burntvirtue it's the crane but without getting into a pose
@@burntvirtue 'the crane' is BS anyway. It's just a jumping front kick that every striking martial arts has as part of their basic moves. It's an 'ap chagi' in taekwondo and the hand/arm movement is just there for aesthetics. Check Yusuke's interview with Darryl Vidal who had a cameo in Karate Kid 1 and also worked on the choreography.
And I thought I had been the only one who noticed it! 😂
It makes sense, since Daniel had been practicing some sort of the Kanku Dai kata, which includes a real life version of the Crane Kick.
@@nuno.picado The kata he was practicing is kushanku. An older version of kanku dai. But in the episode edition the moves came all out of order.
Love your videos, I watched the whole season already but, watching it again with your insight and your love for the show is a joy. Keep up the good work. 👍🏾
4:18 To answer your question Bayer (pronounced bear/bare) is a brand name of standard over-the-counter aspirin.
Hopefully no German reads this. But, yes, that's how Americans usually pronounce the company name.
I still find it hard to believe that Ralph Macchio is older than Thomas Ian Griffiths.
Great series btw, I really enjoy your insights and reactions.
Wait, what?
@@TemujinTheKhan Exactly what I said when I found out lol, only a matter of months in it, but Danny Boy is older.
Four months older, in fact we are currently in the middle of the four month window in which Macchio is 60 and Griffiths is still 59.
That fact is really crazy when you look back at Part 3 since Thomas looked WAY older than Ralph physically
@@darnell7871 I was first told in the early 2000's and first thing I did was watch part 3 again, blew my mind lol
0:58 In some backstage photos, it was revealed Hawk's hair is actually just something they attached to his head.
I believe in Seasons 1-3 it was real though, presumably it has something to do with... what happens later.
th-cam.com/users/shortsNoYDPB-t5l8
pretty sure Johnny is listening to a Sony Walkman cassette tape player since that was the state of the art in 1984 and he's very much still clinging to his high school idea of "cool".
5:12 that's a Sony Walkman cassette player. Very popular in the US in the 1980s.
I for one also hope that this is the last time Daniel and Johnny fight for real. Time for them to get along for good!
Unless there just sparring im ok with that.
@@TheGuy-u7f oh of course, friendly sparring is always wecome!
Loved the Highlander reference. They could've also said that he resembled a John Carpenter's Vampire, a movie which Thomas Ian Griffith played the main antagonist.
daniel is self righteous afffff
1:07 The Highlander were a series of movies and a TV show about a Scottish immortal (I believe he is specifically Scottish) who is immortal because he is "the highlander." If someone manages to kill him then they become the Highlander, alas Hawk saying "there can be only one" which is a kind of slogan for the character. I have never seen the movies but was a huge fan of the show. If you google "the highlander" there is lots of info about it.
Johnny was using an audio cassette tape player from the 80's and early 90's. Right before the portable CD players :)
Dude.. “ the highlander “ is a legend.. there can only be one
4:16 -Bayer is a pharmaceutical company best known for Aspirin. In America, many people associate “Bayer” with “Aspirin” the same way we associate “Kleenex” with “facial tissues.” Aspirin used to be the go-to hangover cure (Don’t know for sure if that’s still true, haven’t been drinking for a long time 😀)
At 4:34 that's Bayer's brand Aspirin. Good for the heart and mild pain relief.
"I hope Daniel grows up"
My favorite take on this series thus far.
Make Karate Great again!!!!! Hell yeah...
1:03 highlander was an 80's comic/cartoon/show/movie about this super powerful swordsmen that, whenever one of them died, every other one became more powerful, but the one who stroke the killing blow gained a little bit more power than any other one... didn't took long before a mix of greed and paranoia took most, if not all of them and they started killing each other claiming that "there can be only one" (because as long as a second one lived, they would all fear being assassinaed). they were also unaging, and I'm quite sure there was something about a highlander only dieing if you decapitate them. Most of them used "claymores" (or what pop-culture believe claymores to be, the actual scottish claymore don't resemble at all what Highlander depicts as claymores) except for the protagonist, McCloud (or something like that) that used a katana. McCloud and his mentors were the only two that I remember* that did not follow the "there can be only one" motto, indeed they wanted to defeat the clan that was promoting that mentality and try to bring the other highlanders into a sense of security so they would stop murdering each other "just to be safe".
*I'm a 90's kids though, so I didn't saw highlander as it was being released, just a couple VHS and a couple surviving comics and the disgrace that was the movie Highlander 2, so I might be missing some information here on rather there were other highlanders against the "there can be only one" motto or not
7:25 I am so glad you caught that. Him saying junbi and all the other korean words is more to reference to the Tang Soo Do roots of the Cobra kai martial art as stated in season 3. I also believe Terry Silver's actor is a real black belt in teakwondo or some korean martial art
Yep and just like Johnnys actor (William “Billy” Zabka), Thomas Ian Griffith never stopped training his whole life either. And he’s a black belt and multiple styles
Love your videos breakdowns of karate in Cobra Kai
15:47 that's the face I was waiting for when I watched this season the day it dropped I knew this was going to happen
The way cobra kai stands when the teacher is adressing them is the way the air force and army stands. Which i believe is a nod at kreese and silvers military background
5:15 those were called "Sony Walkman" and it was an analog cassette player, long before a CD player.
Joonbi/chimbi is a common Korean term for going to ready stance similar to yoi in Japanese. Joonbi/chimbi is usually used in TSD/TKD/Hapkido.
Daniel is what we call a "Hypocrite"... In his defense though without his personal flaws there would probably be to little drama to drive the series forward.
So is Johnny.
@@radicalreactions1633 at least Johnny isn’t self righteous and arrogant. Daniels character is ruined in cobra Kai and he’s a prick
@@radicalreactions1633 I'm not sure I'd call Johnny a Hypocrite he certainly has his own set of flaws but in the show he for the most part holds true to his Strike First philosophy.
@@michaelsmithlin3755 yes Johnny is
@@AzazelTheFallen you have no right to talk you're a Daniel hater. Didn't johnny opened up cobra kai dummy. He thought his way was the right way . the way of the fist . daniel messed up also both men are hot heads and strong well. Show some balanced sir!!!. Im a Daniel guy by the way and I'm showing balanced.
After you finish Cobra Kai, I would love for you to react to Avatar the Last Airbender. It's a bit different in the martial arts as it's A. Used for bending rather than (with exceptions) physical hand to hand combat, and B. Has a number of different martial art styles incorporated. I'd still love to see your reaction to that show and hear your opinion on the episodes and all.
Animated. Make sure to say animated.
The fans know thats the only true version. But normies or those who dont know think about the other that we dont speak of
That movie was awful
@@Snapmaw im sure he means the show
@@MalonzeProductionsGaming I realized when I just read his comment again he clearly stated show I don't know how I missed it. I assumed movie as he was talking about the martial arts style so naturally I assumed live action movie lol
@@Snapmaw (I'm a she, just fyi) Yeah, if I meant the film we do not speak of, I would have said the title of the film, which does not have the Avatar part in the title. I'd never recommend the atrocity that was that film.
5:12 wow, you said MD player... I first went to Japan in 1999, and I recall the mini-discs and how there were even shops where people could _rent_ physical copies of music. My impressions of Japan before going was that they got technology first, and then we in the United States would get it months or years later. The mini discs for music didn't reach the US so that was an early lesson for me that not all technology from Japan gets here.
What Johnny was listening to was a *walkman* that plays cassettes. Cassettes were very popular in the 80s and came after albums and 8tracks, but were before CDs.
Tonight’s the first time I’ve seen any of your videos, I think you’re brilliant man. I watched about 6 videos in succession, but I have to go to sleep now but I’m definitely catching the rest of them tomorrow. Nice work 🥋🥋🥋
Hey Yusuke, could you make a video on how/!why Keio has a Version of Goju-Ryus Tensho even though it's Shotokan? And if they have more "shotokanised" kata of other styles? That would be sooo interesting!
Same
1:04 lmao same question sacha baron cohen’s character asked will Ferrell’s character in talladega nights. Highlander is a action/fantasy film from the 80’s.
i studied "Okinawan karate" growing up and have been loving your channel, both the reacts and demos. Its nice to have that insight from where both my teachings and the shows display differs from authenticity!
oh and quotes because I was taught by white guys in the center of california, I'm no expert but highly doubt the authenticity
FYI after you said "they're getting along now" after seeing Demetri and Hawk talking, i just wanted to remind you that Hawk and Demetri were best friends before Hawk got corrupted by Cobra Kai so that's why it seems that they get along so well. No offence just wanted to let you know!
Doesn’t matter if they were friends before hawk broke his arm and was bullying him into karate
@@Respect12948 yeah i get that but the point is that the reason that they get along so well after the whole bullying situation is because they used to be best friends
@@Respect12948 yeah hawk did a lot of damage but all that was within a year or two at best whereas demetri and hawk literally were best friends from childhood, for 16 years or sth. That is why he was quick to forgive him.
Love these reaction videos. I would love to see your reaction to more martial arts movies for example the final fight in drunken Master 2 with Jackie Chan
Yeah remember in season 3 in the Vietnam flash back the green beret guy that trained Kreese said he was trained by a Korean Martial artist. So Cobra Kai has roots in Korean Martial arts and US Army tactical philosophy. But fun fact in real life the US Army combatives system is heavily based in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Royce Gracie personally taught the US Army Rangers Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the Rangers added some techniques that apply to modern warfare and it became the US Army Combatives program. But the way they teach it is very similar to Cobra Kai, it's very aggressive and fast paced. "Violence of Action" is a US military concept that mirrors "Strike first, Strike hard"
Hey waKu , youtube algorithms lead me to this channel to watch you enjoy the cobra Kai series, coming from a really tough boxing discipline, I have gotten into karate from flicking through your videos, another discipline was a really nice touch and you have taught a few Japanese facts, thanks for the content
8:08 Thomas Ian Griffith is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I believe that he also know Kenpo but i am not sure.
The device Johnny was listening to was called a Walkman. Which was a portable cassette player introduced by Sony (a Japanese electronics company) in the late 1970s. Music cassettes consisted of a magnetic tape playing from a plastic container which were put in cassette players to reproduce the sound recorded on them. You could also record on cassette from other sources such as vinyl records (also known as LPs) or compact discs (known as CDs) but the Walkman could only play back music. They were hugely popular in the 1980s.
I too also had that ipod nano, i always wanted the visual screen but it was nice to have some music.
Bayer is just a simple headache medicine. It's either aspirin or acetaminophen. I think aspirin.
In the '80s maybe even '70s up until the mid-90s was a device called a Walkman, which allowed you to play your cassette tapes on the go before CD version of this device emerged
5:13; They are called ''Walkman'' Sensei. They were audio casettes players. Prior the cd's. Cordially.
7:25 choombi stance is Korean for ready stance because Cobra Kai is based on Tang Soo Do which is a Korean martial art.
That portable music player is called a walkman. Which was my first portable music player. Except there was not belt clip,it had a shoulder strap. Also it had a speaker on the back for when you didn't have your headphones on.
Wen I hear him saying jumbi I recognised the term from my Taekwondo classes back in the 90ths. Looks like in the series they are pointing cobra kai towards the korean martial arts that were labelled as korean Karate wen it arrived in the USA.
In Karate Kid 3 Silver talks about his korean sensei. It makes sense with the movie's lore.
Also remember that the guy in Vietnam that trained both Kreese and Silver said he trained in Tang Soo Do, which is a Korean martial art. I thought it was the same as Taekwondo, but their origins and influences are different, and I'm finding conflicting stories.
@@jdpace4371 I recently did a lot of research on the history of TSD and TKD. The lineage dates back to Lee Won Kuk who studied Shotokan in Japan and brought it back to Korea. There is a false history of there being a 2000-year-old history of indigenous martial arts in Korea. This was because of a desire to create distance from Japan after the Japanese occupation of Korea. When Lee had to flee back to Japan, his 6 senior students each formed a school. One of the schools dissolved and the 5 remaining schools unified as the Korean Kongsoodo Association during the Korean War. Later Hwang Kee (the founder of TSD) seceded from the group. The remaining leaders named the new organization the Korean Taekwondo Association.
@@jdpace4371 The founder of Tang Soo Do was a Shotokan Karate practitioner, among other disciplines. When South Korea decided to unify they martial arts under the same umbrella, not all of the masters where happy with that decision. Taekwondo was a mix of Karate and other martial arts from china and Korea, but they chose to go on another path focusing more in the kicks that were the basis of Taekyon before the japanese invasion.
Tang Soo Do in the other hand remain more close to its shotokan roots untill today, but has kind of a similar kick's curriculum, just less flashy, as far as I know.
Does anyone else find the fact that Daniel used the "life or death moves" that Chozen taught him in this mock tournament crazy? I guess Chozen was right: "Mr. Miyagi might have thought you were not able to or not ready"...
Immobilizing an opponent is not life or death. It's what you do after they're immobilized that would be the issue.
The life or death moves are on the scroll Chozen gave him, not the pressure points. The pressure points were an alternative but last season he mentioned he hoped to never have to use the moves in the scroll because it was the more aggressive and lethal moves from Miyagi-do.
I mean, Chozen used the move to honk Daniel, so not really, no.
@@Enderslegend Good to see someone else actually paying attention.
10:00
Most Americans don’t take tattoos lightly, and put thought into them first. Although, they’re relatively easy to get. It’s just part of Hawk’s character that he’d do such a thing.
To what you just finished saying at 9:22, it's also possible that Daniel was more proficient and understanding of what the purpose behind the movement was and so his experience shows, but Samantha and Robbie were both beginners and didn't quite understand all the nuances of what their movements were supposed to be and why.
01:02: "Highlander," 1986, starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery, with Clancy Brown as "The Kurgan," the main bad guy. Immortals who fight to the death with swords, because decapitating them is the only way to kill them, fighting until only one remains ("There can be only one") and that one gains the unlimited power of The Prize.
That might make a very interesting reaction for you, Sensei. All the main "Highlanders" use katanas, despite being from Clan MacLeod in the highlands of Scotland (hence, "Highlander," from the Scottish Highlands). And Duncan MacLeod, main character of the series, uses a lot of martial arts, ends up owning a dojo for most of the series, and I believe the actor, Adrian Paul, actually studied martial arts intensely. The episode "The Samurai" does a lot with Japanese culture in the past, and explains where Duncan got the katana he favors. Most of the fighting in the movies and series is sword-based, but there are quite a few hand-to-hand fights in the series you might enjoy looking at from your perspective.
01:50: Again, very little training myself, but I think this is "speed work," the idea being less to practice delivering force and more to strike as rapidly as possible. In theory, practice speed, practice force, then use both lessons to hit with speed and force. No idea if it actually works or not, but I think that's the idea.
05:21: Nah, Johnny's not even up to CDs. He's rocking a Sony Walkman, a portable cassette player. See, way back in the dark ages of my youth and Johnny teen years, the most advanced portable recording medium was spools of magnetic tape. True story.
cant wait till you see the finale of this. it's really good
The Highlander is an awesome 80's action/fantasy movie about a scotsman by the name of Connor MacLeod.
Daniel's problem is that he's trying to be Mr Miyagi. He wants to be passive and non-confrontational, but that just isn't who he is. He can't live up to his own standards, so he projects his insecurities onto others. And when they don't live up to his standards as well, he takes his anger at himself, out on them.
Johnny is playing his music on a walkman...a portable tape cassette player.
Can’t wait!
"I hope Daniel grows up" lmao
Sam is perfectly right
No she’s not. She has the same problem as Daniel thinking one side is right when in reality both Johnny and Daniel are right
There's one thing I know about storytelling and big victories. Before the big win, for it to impact the viewer/reader, the heroes have to hit rock bottom first as if everything is lost and there is no hope. Then, the little innovation, a thing they missed, or something the villain didn't see, pops up, and the heroes grab it. Then comes the fightback and clawing your way back, and then sticking it to the villain with that one little thing when he thinks he has it all won.
When I was growing up, my parents had an 8 track player in the car! I was 18 when I got my first CD player. Before that I had a record player and then a cassette player! 😂
Highlander was a popular TV show that had immortals fighting each other, and the only way they can kill each other is by chopping off their opponents head. So there was a lot Sword fighting and saying "there can be only one."
Highlander was a movie in 1986 (and also a hit series in 1992-98) About immortal swordsmen. The protagonist there had long hair and he kinda resembled Terry Silver in physical appearance
Love that double KO!
Highlander was one Off the best films of the 80s With Sean Connery. It's about swordplay and fantasy , give it a watch
Highlander is an 80s movie about immortals who can only die by beheading, and they have a worldwide contest where they all kill each other until the last one is standing.
The kids were saying Silver looks like the main character Connor MacLeod, who is an immortal Scottish highlander who uses a Japanese katana as his signature weapon.
And I figured Silver using a mix of Japanese and Korean terminology is just a result of Cobra Kai being what it is. Their fighting style is tang soo do (as confirmed by the fight coordinators in the original movie, and Season 3 with the Vietnam flashbacks). But since tang soo do is essentially the Korean version of karate, many American tang soo do teachers in the 70s-80s marketed their martial art as "karate" because Americans at the time knew that term better (and it's not wrong). And it'd make sense that they would also adopt Japanese terms like "sensei" and "dojo" to fit that image, while still keeping some of the Korean terminology from its roots like "charyeot" ("attention"). Plus, Thomas Ian Griffith himself has a taekwondo background in real life.
It's so funny seeing the replay because there is no music. Just two dudes knocking each other down.
It was probably a cassette player ("walkman") for Johnny. That's very 80's. Then CD players in the 90's/early 2000's. Then mp3s. Then just phones.
- Highlander is a fantasy martial arts series originally from the 80s. Highly recommend.
- Cobra Kai is a Korean style, junbi also means to prepare in Korean. It is actually a stance in the Korean styles.
- I’d probably never get a tattoo but some people really don’t care. In big cities you’ll occasionally see people with TONS of tattoos.
My first music player was a walkman… with Tape, than a Discman for CD, than A MD-Player for Mini-Disc, than The First Ipod 160 GB
"Sony Walkman AM/FM Radio/Cassette Player" haha. I had a few. Should've bought stock in Duracell back then.
The Highlander is from The Highlander movie from the 80s.
Highlander is a famous movie from the 80's and also during the 90's a long TV series.
The main character of this series was Duncan McCloud played by Adrian Paul, an actor particular similar to Terry Silver
Highlander was movie from the 80s where there were immortal ppl living among regular ppl. The only way these immortals could die is losing their head. Over the centuries they would meet each other in battle with swords until there would be only one left. There was later a TV show based on the movie, starring an actor named Adrian Paul. Terry Silver's hairstyle was a little reminiscent of Adrian Paul's in Highlander, though not sure the resemblance is as strong nowadays. And I don't think kids nowadays would have seen that show - only the movie. Anyway, that's the reference.
Johnny is so cool he even took Daniel's super move as if it were but an inconvenience
Highlander is one of the greatest movies ever made starring Christopher Lambert. You should DEFINITELY review that movie!
The Highlander was a movie from the 80s where a race of people called Highlanders were essentially immoryal but were driven to fight for "the prize" with only one being able to claim it. The only way to stop the immortals from claiming that prize was to decapitate the opponent (only way to kill one).
The expression there can be only one comes from only one immortal being able to survive and claim the prize
Highlander is the name of a 1986 movie, in which the main character, known as the Highlander for being native of the Highlands of Scotia, is one of a group of "immortal" people who dwell among humans - They can only die if their head is severed from their body.
In the film lore, the immortals will fight each other to the death (swords being the preferred weapon by obvious reasons) until there's only one remaining, who will then collect a mythical prize.
That's why Nate corrected Bert: "The Highlander" - Following it by the sentence the immortals would say after killing another in a fight - "There can be only one"
The movie is actually pretty good, and has a fantastic soundtrack by Queen. It spawned 3 sequels (but let's please forget 3 and 4 existed - those are pretty bad) and a spin-off show. In the spin-off, the main character would use a pony tail, just like Silver does.
Johnny's music player was a Sony Walkman (or some knock off). It played cassetes, and having said that, I know feel pretty old. 😂
They were there to fight because at the bar Daniel said Johnny he had to let him lead the training, teaching only Miyagi Do to all the kids.
Johnny didn't take that too well, especially since Kreese had told him earlier he was playing second fiddle to Daniel, so he challenged Daniel.
He didn't expect him to go through though, and he was ready to talk it out instead of fighting, but this time was Daniel who was adamant on taking it to the end, after watching the influence Johnny had over Sam a while earlier.
I swear, these two are both sides of a single coin, and all they need to do is talk things over, and start respecting each other.
Highlander was a film from 1985, which also had a spin off tv series.
The 'Highlander' is a series about a group of fighters who are immortal and can only be killed by another "highlander" via decapitaion. And they always proclaim before a duel that "There can only be one". So they must duel to the death any time one of them comes into contact with another. (great movie series)
Hi Sensei, "Highlander" was a movie that came in the 80's. This person the highlander is immortal. He lives through the ages, thousands of years. Christopher Lambert (who also acted in Mortal Kombat) plays the protagonist the highlander. Here what the kids mean to say is just that this guy Terry resembles Christopher Lambert from that movie and yeah they are right. :)
Highlander was a movie and then a TV series. The Highlander on the TV series had long hair like Silver on kk3, was played by Adrien Paul, he was immortal, could only be killed if his head was cut off
There is the watermark here a tip because of Copyright two options
1 make the screen smaller with the watermark in the corner
2 have the watermark in the corner small
Loved how Silver knows japanese but uses korean names for the positions (like Chumbi, Chae ruyt, etc) because he started in Tang Soo Do before transitioning to Karate.
🥰 love and respect your videos always,and picking up a few karate pointers on the side and more cultural knowledge is right up my alley.😊🌷
Highlander is a film series and tv series that started in the '80s that was about immortals who battle on another for the prize: there can be only one. Silver looks like Sean Connery from the movies.
I see Terry Silver added many TKD to the Kyokushin training style of Cobra Kai. That’s really interesting.
I'm a recent subscriber and I enjoy your comments. Have you ever reacted to Jean-Claude Van Damme? Pretty sure Bloodsport is his first movie after arriving in America where he fights in an underground kumite.
As a main character (in this case the villain) it would be "No Retreat, No Surrender."
good lord, my first portable music thing was a cassette player. LOL good god im old.
sony walk man was the original head set with a tape player...we were 10 years before the ipod, windows computers as you know them today...no internet to download music...go to the record store and buy a tape...no cds yet either then
The Highlander is a movie, It's about some immortals that hunt each other down for power, only way to kill them is to take off their heads, so they mostly fight with swords, when one kills another they absorb the power or the other. In the end there can only be one left. To obtain all the power.
The Highlander aka Adrian Paul is trained in several martial arts ie: Taekwondo, Choy Li Fut, and Hung Gar Kung Fu but is best known as a swordsman
Bayer is a brand name of a form of Aspirin, a painkiller. Daniel was taking it for the hangover of him and Johnny Drinking the night before.
