Karate Kid: Legends (2025)

So I went and watched that movie(Well most of it). All I can say is that I understand why nobody remembers it. I feel Pat Morita must have needed some money for that role. He was the only part that was acted well. The story was bad. The fighting was bad. The acting was bad. Also, in that picture, I believe she is posing a Flying Dragon kick. She never does one of those in the movie. She does a Flying Tiger Kick(Which honestly I never knew was a thing). Oh and the sound effect they use when she finally gets it was some serious After school show cringe.

We can pretend this movie never existed.

Update: I finally rewatched KK4 (not to be confused with everyone's favorite cultural boogeyman, the KKK). Yes, it was bad. Hillary Swank's character is obnoxious and annoying for like half of it, though her maturing and becoming a decent person is kinda the point so I'll give it a pass. Morita was great and I feel like the movie featured him really well, so that was the good part. And yeah, Swank doesn't even really do much fighting, much less the Liu Kang flying kick on the cover. I think the final battle was actually fought by her boyfriend. I can't remember for sure...which just goes to show how forgettable the movie is, since I watched it like 3 weeks ago.

Kind of baffling that they completely ignored Cobra Kai in terms of the overall story, considering Cobra Kai is probably the only reason people were interested in seeing this.

It should have been a sequel to the show with Daniel, Miguel, and a returning Jackie Chan (Johnny's busy).
