Terry Silver is my favorite Karate Kid villain, Thomas Ian Griffith has so much fun in the role.

That's what we're thinking! We just need to try to figure out the logistics for watch-a-long purposes!

Wow you know I never noticed that.. And when Miyagi fought Barnes and threw him into the wall it flipped the switch and turned the lights out. I wonder if that was on purpose.
It seems like so very many of the things in this movie are done on purpose.
For ex. in the beginning when the girl says something about hanging out soon and Daniel says "how soon?" is reminiscent to when Ali says she broke up with Johnny weeks ago and he's like "Weeks? How many weeks?" lol

There are very good reasons for what Silver does (his lack of sanity is part of it). The kind of loyalty and ridiculous things that someone is willing to do for such a tight knit tribe/clique like Cobra Kai is something that you see in real life a lot, especially with cults.
You just kind of gotta go with it. It seems ridiculous but you have to see that what seems ridiculous in the mind of a sane person seems perfectly normal in the mind of a narcissist or psychopath.

I haven’t watched Karate Kid 3 since it came out in the 80’s…that was hilarious at times. I loved how every time Snake and Mike Barnes broke into the shop they turned the lights out lol. Your reactions to this definitely helped with my enjoyment of the ridiculous parts.🤣👍

I love how Terry Silver is comically evil. I found the film very entertaining if you just accept that it's going to be pretty cheesy.

Such great fun going through this trilogy with you! I can't wait to watch along with Cobra Kai. I held back on season 4 to go into it with you guys. I'm still amazed this show exists, coming 29 years after Karate Kid III.

More craziness on the age thing: in season one of Cobra Kai, Ralph Macchio is older than Pat Morita (Miyagi) was in the first film.

Cobra Kai episodes are only 28 minutes long and each season only has 10 episodes,so not as time consuming as you would have thought
But if you were worried about it being a longer show than you have done up to now and taking up a spot in the schedule for too long,then you could react to 2 episodes at a time and you would get through it twice as quick,that is just a win win all round and i'm sure Mr. Miyagi would approve 🙏

I kind of understand why some people don't like the Karate Kid III. Some scenes are kind of laughable and silly with that Barnes guy. They seem somewhat repetitive to the first film except of course Daniel and Mr. Miyagi can't put a lock on the doors to the Bonsai store. However, I think Thomas Ian Griffith portrays a very convincing character (Terry Silver). I liked his performance.
My heart still stays with Karate Kid II though. And I don't think my feelings on KKIII necessarily affect my feelings on the Cobra Kai series. It's quite good.
One last thing I'd like to mention: I noticed that, in this movie, Daniel is breaking pieces of wood. Remember what Mr. Miyagi said about breaking wood in KKII? - "Don't know. Never been attacked by tree." ;)
Great reaction you two!

This one was better than the second but not as great as the first, I felt.

The actor that plays Silver is a real life martial artist, that's why he's so flexible.

Thrilled that you guys are going to go down the Cobra Kai rabbit hole. It's going to subvert every expectation and prediction that you have for it, but in a VERY good way. You're going to love it from the very first episode.

That guy deserved a broken nose, Daniel did nothing wrong.

Ralph Maccio is like me. Now he looks decades younger than he actually is, if you see him now. He's like in his 60s I think, and he looks like he's in his 30s. It's crazy to think that the actor playing Silver is actually younger than Maccio.
I definitely think they should watch The Next Karate Kid but definitely not before Cobra Kai. There's no need unless they bring Julie Pierce into the show, but it is definitely a good movie.

Now you have to Watch American Shaolin from 1991

Assuming you're skipping "The Next Karate Kid", you're really in for a great ride with Cobra Kai. Fun Karate Kid 3 facts: Ralph Macchio is actually OLDER than the actor who played Terry Silver! And sticking with age, they switched the potential love interest into a "friend" role during production because of the age difference between the two, with Ralph Macchio being 27 and Robyn Lively only 16.
