Seeing as it’s a show about martial arts and karate, there are unsurprisingly a great deal of action sequences in Cobra Kai, all of which are done for real. Now while like all shows, stunt performers are used for the trickier and more dangerous scenes, the actors did do a bunch of their stunts themselves, becoming adept in martial arts and being able to pull off the moves without any help. In fact, the cast estimated that they performed 90% of the stunts themselves, with only one or two of them being handed off to a stunt performer. But of course, stunt performers and the coordinators who come up with the choreography and what the fights will look like are as important as the actors themselves, and without their amazing work the show wouldn’t be as good as it is....

The Karate Kid has become a bit of a cultural touchstone, making it almost impossible for people trying to wax a car to get through the task without someone relating it to Mr. Miyagi’s classic chore based karate training technique. The classic underdog versus the bully story has become part of the landscape of American culture with lines like “Wax on, wax off” and “sweep the leg” being part of the lexicon. The series that revists Daniel-san and Johnny Lawrence that started on YouTube Red before making its way to Netflix has taken that story and built a series that explores the difficulties of the mentor and student relationship not just for the student but also for the mentors involved. Being less about ‘authentic’ karate and more of a fairy tale built around America’s retail karate world that has studios in strip malls and converted retail spaces across the country, the series has continuity outdone itself bothe exploring the outsized reality suggested by the film series but also by the crazy antics that the mentors and the new batch of students have gotten up to. Naturally that means that filming the series would result in some shenanigans all its own. From backstage pranks to choreography mistakes to Disney tunes, the stories of season 4 are almost as exciting as season 4 itself. What surprises are you looking for in Season 5?

Showtime’s newest hit show has done the impossible. The original series, starring Michael C. Hall, was a beloved series and one of the network’s biggest hits throughout its legendary seven season run. The only problem was that the series finale was regarded as one of the worst ever made. It saw the titular character ride into a hurricane instead of into the sunset. Not only that, but then it showed him inexplicably as a lumberjack in Oregon mere moments later. So for the new series to return us to the character AND actually make the show as lovable as its best days again is no small feat. This has got a lot to do with some of the behind the scenes secrets you may have missed.... Read More | Share it now!
