I have to watch How many movies just to watch the show

Comments

dude you only need to watch 3

Synque Towers

bro you need to watch it

Malthe Mikkelsen

no just the first 3

Falk

I love the show and never seen any of the movies, the show tells you almost everything 😂

Liam

Just the first one

Jay Herbo

You don’t need any of that to watch the show, but watching the very first karate kid clears it up a lot

LemurWasHere

None are necessary, they show some of the background parts in the show but if you want a bit of knowledge about them then I’d say 1 is the only one that’s necessary to watch and 2/3 are your choice

KG

watch the first one, thats the only one that really matters that much

RubenSE

u dont need to watch the movies, its incredibly easy to follow up on

Shmoogalooga

fr

Shmoogalooga

U really don’t need all three movies though it’s not a hard show to follow

Tania

U don’t need to watch the movies people are just chatting like it’s not like it’s a hard show to follow along 😭

Tania

you only have to watch the first three movies for what is currently released then the rest can be watched after for the new season

Mark

The Original first one is all you have to watch.

Dylan Vogel

Breaking Bad, Cobra Kai, Invincible, and The Boys/Gen V. Sony knows how to make bank, and I haven’t even mentioned recent prime time shows like The Good Doctor.

Aldo Gonzales

Right like the first season wasn’t bad but it just becomes so bad so quickly 😭

Bingous

I’m going to be honest don the first season was really good 2nd season becomes ok and 3rd season just crashes and burns

Bingous

Mans also has to go back and watch OG X-men cartoon and the Star Wars cartoons before reacting to the newest thing out

KINGxRED248

just watch the original one you need only 1 to understand it or 2

Andhy thomas

thats also true, he doesnt have to watch 2 or 3 till like after szn 3

Brayden Guenther

Why ? It’s the one of the worst

Zennor Whyte

Aye blud just watch the one with Jaden smith and Jackie chan.

Courage LK

U don’t need to watch the movie they put some flash back in the show so u can understand without watching the movies

Kalvin pierre

Just watch the first 3 movies and watch each movie before you start a new season

Drew McGary

Broo plssss Don watch Love Death+ Robots it's so great 🔥🔥🔥

Zain

Honestly, only the first one is necessary until later seasons.

Crimson Maou

plz

Sedulouis

just watch the show

Sedulouis

You can Just watch the first original one, its enough imo

erasuke. 月

js watch first 2-3 but u should start breaking bad first imo

Zax

YES THIS

Adrian Cimpean

have you watched "Love, Death and Robots"? the episodes vary in length between 6-21 minutes, its on netflix btw, its a collection of short stories where the studio's and animators just show off their skills, i bet youd enjoy the hell out of it, and i think out of all 3 seasons it only comes up to 4 hours of watch time so its not even that long, id be so down for that

JammySplosha

he has way to many shows and movies to do rn as he just explained in this clip he barely has time to fit in cobra kai let alone breaking bad

ShisuiUchiha480

Don, I REALLY want you to react to Smiling Friends, season 2 JUST came out, its pretty short and it's funny asf 🙏

chomps!!

I didn't even know there were 5 karate kid movies

Jacob Arms

Just 2 or 3

Jack Whiteman

U only need to watch the first 3 movies

Mateus Ribeiro

U only need to watch the first 2 movies. I like the one with Jaden Smith too but that isn’t necessary for the story

Beast sama

i think you should recontinue breaking bad, you kinda said you would finish it in december lol

Elias Larsen

I think u need to recontinue Breaking Bad

Mike_1904

😭😭 true or breaking bad

Mike_1904

well realistically, you just would need to watch first 2-3 movies, all of them good, then the show tbh

Brayden Guenther

It's only the first movie you need to watch tbh. The other karate kids are unnecessary. But cobra Kai isn't that good tbh. Its more of a snorefest than breaking bad and I love that show 😅

MrJaffa

Please Finish X-Men 😭

Quedelle Miller

I’d recommend watching the first original karate kid but you should be good after that

Jacob

Don't watch it, trust, these its not thaat great, for sure not worth 5 movies then an entire series. There are tons of other things more entertaining you could watch, The winter or if any anime's there are a billion others

Sage Kaito

All you need to do is watch the first movie, for the first two seasons And the second & third movie For seasons 3-6… nothing after that is needed or important for cobra Kai.

Dairy products

2 movies don..

Feliks

Just the first 2. Maybe the 3rd just because.

Joi Rene

For season 1-2 in Cobra Kai u just need to watch the first movie which just makes it easier for u to understand only 2 seasons out of 5 (6 coming soon). for 3-5, karate kid 2 and 3 combined will make it understandable more and makes the experience better but if ur just relying on the flashbacks it would take some time figuring it out but it would be more quicker to finish the show if u just only watch one movie and move on to finish the series.

SpiraLMcFly

You don't need to watch the movies at all

Jon Black

Carsssss

Yovani Paredes

Really only the first 2 movies are needed for the show to get the references and lore. But I do recommend watching all of them when ever. Even the remake was decent

kenny mannino

Lmao

Vaz

Just saying bro, I think you’d enjoy it more. I’d even put watching all the Rocky movies into creed before Cobra Kai.

Andre Eames

If we want to be super thorough in terms of context and what is actually needed, I'd honestly say you can watch the first movie, watch the first season, then watch the second movie and keep watching the series. I'd even recommend watching the 3rd movie and then season 2 onwards, skipping the second movie, but that just makes an even bigger mess in terms of keeping up with watch order and all that. So maybe, if you wanted to, you could watch Karate Kid 2 and 3 after season 1 of Cobra Kai and then keep watching the show. The other movies are honestly not necessary (although I personally really like the reboot/remake with Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith, but that's neither here nor there).

Unbeknownst Man

I've only seen the first karate kid and I watched all of cobra kai, I didn't enjoy it personally but I understood most of it and the show itself is quite simple to understand

ben Rees

You just need to watch the first 3 movies. The show is a continuation of those movies and there are A LOT of references to the movies and characters from those movies that you will not understand if you don't watch them. The 4th movie has different characters and isn't really canon and the 5th movie is a reboot with different characters altogether. The first 3 movies are good movies and are among the classics that everyone should see at least once in their lives. If you can't watch them first then i would recommend that you don't watch Cobra Kai until a later date when you are able to watch the first 3 movies as it will spoil a lot of moments and character development if you watch the show first.

Crafter2900

You could also space it out since some characters only come back later. For example watch Karate Kid 1 then Cobra Kai S1 then Karate Kid 2 then Cobra Kai S2+3 then Karate Kid 3 then Cobra Kai S4+5.

Lightning

Don in the mean time, you should start watching bleach. Trust me u wont be disappointed.

Chase

Also there's flashbacks

life and death 101

I haven't even seen the 3 movies just bits and pieces and all ready know the full story on all 3

life and death 101

Just watch 1-3 karate kid so you know the background. Makes you appreciate the show more.

Tom

Lol thats maybe too lazy even for me

Don Townsend

only the first 3 are necesaryu

Chris Walsh

You've watched over 30 Marvel movies you can handle Karate Kid 1,2 and 3 (only 3 movies).

Lightning

Maybe 1-3 but for the first season u just need the first movie to know the characters

swayy

I'd go to the extent and say 3 is optional cuz its 3 but it is kinda important tbh

Samuel Chang

Love the way you dropped that in there LOOL

Don Townsend

the movies in them selves are good too, the show is just a continuence. kind of like boruto to naruto

Chris Walsh

I think you can get away with watching the first two The movies are centred on Daniel ( the black haired guy aka Karate Kid) John Lawrence ( the blonde guy) is in Karate Kid 1 and 2

D D

Just watch the show without the movies, all you really missing is some fun Easter eggs and character appearances. Doesn’t really take much of the experience away.

Notsospiffy

i watched them all when i was younger and forgot everything, and I enjoyed it still

booger

hot take, you could watch all 5 movies or...you could watch this really cool 117 minute movies thats called cars i think

Chris Walsh

To be honest i have not watched any karate kids movies and I watched Cobra Kai and i enjoyed it very much. I don’t think it is needed, especially because whenever something is needed to know it gives you a flashback. You are fine not watching the movies so if you enjoyed the show then just continue watching it. I personally love it

ryan

thats not bad

Don Townsend

to watch 5 movies to watch a show? i dunno that seems silly

Don Townsend

Nahhhhh save that for later… Matrix trilogy would be lit though.

Andre Eames

4 is a different story 5 is a reboot

life and death 101

See now if its just one

Don Townsend

Only three movies, Don. I promise. There’s a fourth, but the main character on that one hasn’t shown up in any of the five seasons already available. So in short, all you have to watch is Karate Kid parts 1, 2, and 3.

Aldo Gonzales

You don’t have to watch all have five you only need to watch 1-3

Alfonso Ochoa III

You only have to watch at least the first three karate kid movies. The other two haven’t been relevant so far with Cobra Kai.

BatJay

You could watch a recap?

Vaz

You have to watch only the first 3

life and death 101

You really just need to watch the first 3. Even just the first 1 is better than nothing

Greg Malone

its actually super worth it.

Chris Walsh

Tbh u mostly just need to watch the first movie

swayy

I think just the first 3 movies are fine
