Did you see the re-make?
Daniel LaRusso and his mother have just moved to Reseda, Los Angeles from Newark, New Jersey at the start of the school year. Befriending classmate Ali Mills, he comes into conflict with Ali's ex-boyfriend and star pupil of the "Cobra Kai" dojo Johnny Lawrence and his gang. After being beaten up by the Cobra Kai gang in an after-school fight, Daniel finds an unlikely friend and karate sensei in his apartment complex's handyman, Mr. Miyagi, a proficient karate master. Making a deal with Johnny's merciless sensei, John Kreese, to end the fighting, Miyagi trains Daniel to compete at the All-Valley Karate Tournament.

I've seen the original (very good) & the Next Karate Kid (not very good).
I might check out the Cobra Kai show.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

The first movie was iconic, and then everything since has been on a downward trend, though I still found the next two enjoyable. Never saw the remake, and it doesn't sound like it's worth bothering. I have heard great things about Cobra Kai, though. At some point, I'm going to end up watching that.

I saw a couple of the older ones, they're okay, I guess. Nothing I'll ever watch again though. No interest in most modern remakes, including this series'.
