Strike first, strike hard, no mercy. This is the creed of the Cobra Kai dojo, and the MO of the creators who revived Karate Kid after three decades. Jon Hurwitz, co-creator of the sequel show, has shared the sizzle reel that helped successfully land the production, as well as why AC/DC became so meaningful to the series.
Posting on Twitter, Hurwitz revealed the mock trailer used by himself, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald to help shop Cobra Kai around. The short edit combines clips from Karate Kid as well as various other movies Ralph Macchio and William Zabka were involved with, and some choice songs to demonstrate the tone the revival would have.
