The Crane Kick's legacy
In the first film we were told that the Crane kick was unstoppable if done right. The movie centered around that kick. In part II we see Chozen successfully block it. So was Daniel doing it wrong or was it really not as unstoppable as you might think?
Part III comes along and Terry Silver dismisses the kick as "That Crane crap," assuring Daniel that it won't work.
Now in Cobra Kai we're told that it was a borderline illegal move and probably shouldn't have been used in the tournament. However, it was easy enough for Johnny to teach it to Miguel, who then used it himself on some jobber in the first round of the tournament. Makes you think it can't be that great of a move.
So what is the deal with this kick? Is it unstoppable? A joke move? Easily duplicated? Illegal?
