They seemed to have gotten almost every character from the first three Karate Kid movies but are still missing a few:
Freddy
Dutch
Snake
Dennis
Any other characters that haven't made it to Cobra Kai.
The woman who played Allie's mother in Cobra Kai was a different actress. Does that count?
shareThe monks from KK II, who also played different monks in The Next Karate Kid, haven't. But I don't see that happening since the actors are deceased.
shareI'd like to see that mailman make an appearance from the 2nd movie. It always bothered me the way he disrespected Mr Myagi's name with the way he pronounced it. He would be retired now but maybe has a son in the Valley who would obviously be Cobra Kai
shareBarbara and Susan(Ali's friends from Part I) haven't appeared yet, either.
shareOpen the checkbook and get Dutch for a cameo.
Freddy, too. (Some friend he turned out to be. Turncoat).
You don't need to Capitalize Every Single Word You Use In the Topic.
It's distracting and annoying.
Also, I thought your post was going to be sarcastic, because they have brought every single cockroach's buttocks hair they found from the grainy footage of any of the movies already, there's no one that should've shown up that they haven't brought in - it's more the case of the opposite; they brought SO many side characters back, it's like a cartoony rodeo now instead of anything believable anymore.
Instead of cultivating, developing and growing the most beloved core characters, they keep adding more and more 'hey, remember THIS guy from the back of the bar where Daniel broke the ice? He was there for almost one full frame in one of the movies, you'll love his old, mangled face saying something funny, ha ha, aren't we geniuses?'-characters into the mix, and at some point, you just can't help groaning.
Instead of Terry Silver and Miguel's useless father, they could have just moved the story in some interesting direction with the already existing characters. Even bringing Ali / Alli (whatever her name was) back was a bit of a gimmicky stretch that seemed unnecessary.
They should've stopped bringing more and more characters into the show.. the 'karate's bad boy' in NO WAY needed to be part of this story, but there he is, because he was in one of the movies that no one wants to consider canon!
