Small Details In Cobra Kai Seasons 1 And 2 Explained

Cobra Kai is moving to Netflix for its third season, continuing to settle the score between Karate Kid rivals Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso. Let's head into the dojo and meditate on the most clever and easy to miss references and Easter eggs hiding in the series' first two seasons.

The Karate Kid is a classic movie of the 1980s. Beyond the main story of a spirited underdog overcoming the odds to vanquish his better prepared opponent, there's also a strong through-line of class warfare.

As in other classics from the era like Pretty in Pink or Some Kind of Wonderful, the rich kids are needlessly and endlessly cruel to the kids from families with less money. True to form, Johnny comes from money and lives in a nice area, and he's harsh to and dismissive of Daniel right away because this new kid in town and son of a single mother lives in a small, inexpensive apartment in the less exclusive California town of Reseda.

When Cobra Kai picks up the story more than 30 years on, the situation has reversed. Daniel owns a chain of car dealerships and has a lot of money in the bank. Johnny, on the other hand, is divorced, barely getting by, and lives in a tiny, nondescript apartment building in a not-fancy neighborhood. Viewers may not notice that Johnny's complex is called Reseda Heights, meaning he lives almost exactly where Daniel once did.

At the end of the 1984 classic, Johnny, the villain of the piece, ends the big match face down on a gym mat, thoroughly defeated by Daniel at the All-Valley Karate Tournament. Keep watching the video to see all the small details in Cobra Kai seasons 1 and 2 explained.
