Hollywood, addicted to reusing intellectual property, capitalizes on the saga Karate Kid after the success achieved for its late television spin-off Cobra Kai. He does this through a film in which the relationship between the original and the remake released in 2010, now converted into a sequel. This allows for the inclusion of characters from both films in the same narrative: actor Ralph Macchio reprises his role as a former apprentice turned teacher, and Jackie Chan returns to act as a mentor.
