I haven't watched it since I was a kid though. I too kinda tolerated KK2 at the time, and was all about KK3 and I still enjoy it much more, it has a tournament aspect to it for a start! But watching back recently as an adult, KK2 is very much Miyagi’s story, not Daniels and I think that’s probably why there’s a slight disconnect.  When I heard about the returning characters in S3, I checked it out again recently and it’s a lot more enjoyable than I’d remembered, just not as ‘fun’.

Paid Members DEF Posted December 20, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2020 I've always found KK2 a bit of a slog but that could be because when it was my brothers turn to pick a rental at the video store it was ALWAYS KK2. I don't dislike it but it's definitely a bit to long. Still some classic moments like the Miyagi/Kreese showdown and ice block chop. KK3 was my favourite as a dumb kid. It took it back to the tournament style and Terry Silver was a brilliant character. Of course KK1 is far and a way the better film but back then I was a dope. This is my current phone wallpaper...

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 20, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 20, 2020 Did you see the Cobra Kai series of artwork that @John Matrix did? It's really nice, and I think the style might be right up your street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not watched all of it yet but have skimmed through. Spoiler No Chad McQueen though sadly.  Not having watched it all I don't know if they talk about him, but between him being the glaring omission from the reunion in Season Two and now this, makes me wonder if he just wants nothing to do with the franchise these days.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
