Cobra Kai Season 4: The Best Karate Kid and Martial Arts Easter Eggs

But again to beer, inevitably Johnny will get fed up with Miyagi-Do household portray and snakes one particular of Daniel’s beers, so Daniel puts him in his spot by chopping the bottleneck off. This is just like Mr. Miyagi did to ward off some racists in The Karate Kid, only that was 4 bottles. 

Staying a Coors male, Johnny complained about the ‘fruit’ in Daniel’s beer, but it is well worth noting that the label of Daniel’s brewski is evidently put. He drinks Blue Moon Belgian White, which is owned by Johnny’s beloved brand, Coors. 

Nonetheless in all fairness, it hasn’t all been about Coors solution placement. Cobra Kai has a keen eye for the proper regional liquors. In year 3, Daniel drowned his sorrows with Suntory Whisky Toki when in Okinawa. And when Kreese loses a bet with Silver in year 4, he rewards him with a sixer of Ba Muoi Ba, a.k.a. 333 Premium Beer, an unheard of import from Vietnam.  

Most likely this alcoholic awareness is associated to the wittiest time 4 Easter egg of all. At the stop of the year 4 premiere, Silver rediscovers his Karate character in his wine cellar and kicks a bottle from Kamen Estates Wines. The Kamen vineyard is in Sonoma, California, named for its founder and proprietor, Robert Mark Kamen. Kamen is the unique screenwriter of the Karate Kid movies, as well as other classics which includes Taps, Fifth Aspect, Taken, and the Transporter sequence. Though Kamen is not directly concerned with Cobra Kai manufacturing, perhaps the show’s over-all spotlight of spirits is an homage to his know-how as a vintner.  

Hey, What Type of Belt Do You Have?

When Daniel posed that query to Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid, he quipped again “Canvas. JC Penny. Three ninety-8. You like?” But Cobra Kai has a Black Belt, practically. In season 1, Johnny reads an situation of Black Belt magazine. And the Feb/Mar 2021 problem of Black Belt featured Zabka, Macchio, and Kove on the go over for a tale about Cobra Kai. Just like with Blue Moon Beer, this makes perception when you know that Black Belt is owned by Century, a real martial arts source enterprise. 

Century gets ample signage at the All Valley Karate Event as the tournament sponsors. And Century machines is all during the Cobra Kai Dojo, even much more so in season 4 immediately after Sensei Silver upgraded all the school’s equipment and gear. Even though they have not offered a close-up to the brand name logos, it’s a very good wager that Miyagi-Do gis are coming from Century as well.
