I recently watched the original Karate Kid film and immediately remembered the scene of Chang auditioning for the play. Jason Mantzoukas' role as the director is gold. He whiplashed the hell out of Chang to get the very best of portraying Mr. Miyagi. This is why I love Community. Pop-culture references done right.

The Final Season of Cobra Kai begins filming in early January 2024, but the new Karate Kid movie starts filming from March to April 2024, so that mean Ralph Macchio would have to fly back & forth to do both the Cobra Kai & the movie, also the movie is slated for a December 13, 2024 meaning that it will be released before Cobra Kai!

"Oh there's a new karate kid movie" hits SO much different than a spin off with a different title. Obviously. -Films not bad.
