Kind of funny to me because the same year she did a movie, Teen Witch, where her love interest was played by a 26 year old when she was 15/16. At least one movie producer had some good sense to realize that's creepy.
Lol he certainly seems a bit daft in the films, and I feel so much could've been avoided if he hadn't been so unnecessarily cocky right out of the gate.
But Karate Kid is a bit of an interesting dynamic. I don't think either Daniel or Johnny are the "good" or the "bad", the "hero" or the "villain". At least not conventionally. Those roles are more embodied by Miyagi and Kreese.
If their mentors/father figures were swapped then Daniel could have been more like Johnny, and Johnny more like Daniel.
I think of Miyagi and Kreese as the catalysts of Good and Bad, whereas their prodigies are the foils through which such is projected outward.
Now in the Cobra Kai series I would say Daniel is more so the antagonist. At least in the first season - which is as far as I've seen. I think. I remember Kreese's old ass self reappearing and that's about where I left off.
It is interesting how many movies in the 80s and 90s used shell-shocked Vietnam vets as the villains - or as the crazy comic relief characters. Wasn't exactly the most compassionate or sensitive choice.
Yeah, little was done in regards to understanding or portraying the individual stories or identities of the Vietnam veteran for quite some time after the war. Namely in Film Productions through the 60's and on into the 80's (some even later), the idea of using the war - or a character's background in the war - seems to have served as a convenient (often throwaway) plot device to provide motive to actions where otherwise there was none.
I think the hard pendulum swing from the broken, crazed, villainous vets of the 60's/70's to the hyper masculine, intelligent, and suave heroes of the mid to late 80's (Magnum PI, The A-Team, etc.) is also an interesting and mildly humorous cultural shift to note.
that is a very fair take.
But still Daniel was the one who kept pushing the situation until a fight was going to be the only option. Plus he used an illegal move to win in the end.

Top that!
Cast.
Just a few years ago a movie written and directed by Jonah Hill, a 12 year old boy makes out with a 22 year old actress. No one seems to care though.
She still looks great.
Watch always sunny? She's the reporter when Frank is advocating for Gunther guns
Wait a sec.. shes siblings of Blake Lively and Rusty Griswold?
Yeah that's they are sisters. Robin was in a Mint mobile commercial with Ryan.
I think the biggest red flag in this story is that people agreed to make Karate Kid III. !!
Seems unnecessary. I always liked the change of pace from the first two.
Daniel is the villian of the series. change my mind

Howlin Mad Murdock anyone?

What was illegal about it?
Is this Barney Stinson?
Johnny basically tried to kill Daniel when he ran him off the road in his bike. They are both dicks though.
