I heard that his crane kick to Johnny's face was an illegal move, yet Daniel was both rewarded for it and won the tournament. So what gives?

The referee was corrupt. He’d been paid off by Miyagi.

People have been debating that for almost 40 years now.

I caught the end of karate kid 3 yesterday, I'm more convinced than ever that Jessica is sitting behind silver in a yellow cobra kai top.

You ever noticed her?

It's already been confirmed that was not Robyn Lively. The Red haired woman in the crowd is much older than she was.

Looks like her tho doesn't it?

Wonder if she was put there for a bit of a wind up.
