In connection to the ending of season 4 to this episode I have to say that the plot reminds me an awful lot like William Zabka's 'Shootfighter' movie where his friend, Nick, has to go down to Mexico to save him. The chick in that, Jill, should have won an Oscar for best actress.
The problem I have with Cobra Kai season 4, and this episode, is that it's too lavish that it's almost resembling an episode of 'Bold and The Beautiful.' It's just becoming too much of a soap opera with little rich people and their petty squabbles. (I didn't enjoy season 4. It seemed rushed and it's bad timing releasing season 5 when the NFL's just kicked off.)
Enter the dragon as Chozen is introduced naked to the show much to the shock horror of Amanda's eyes. Landing on Bondi Beach, Miguel encounters Thor, who successfully swindles him out of all his money. Welcome to Mexico.
Johnny and Robby also land in Mexico to a Spanish version of a Poison song where they're uncomfortably bonding still.
Meanwhile, at Miyagi-Do Karate, Daniel-San gives the lowdown on progress as Sam still lives with an incredible amount of shame for losing the tournament but these shows are all about redemption so by series end no doubt Tory will discover guilt, about the secret she's harboring, and will confess to Silver's bribery and she'll team up with Sam and they'll become 'The Odd Couple,' I mean besties, and all will be peachy on the home front.
Keeping his word, Daniel-San closes down Miyagi-Do Karate. (Don't sweat, it'll only be temporary.)
No subtitles are provided as Miguel and Aaron Donald have a long conversation in Spanish down in Mexico.
If I'm not mistaken this driving scene with Johnny and Robby is green screened?
The biggest sin in 'Cobra Kai' is Thomas Ian Griffith not dyeing his hair jetblack. He looks like the offspring of Doc Emmett Brown. Not menacing at all, Mr. Silver.
Daniel-San and Chozen hatch a plan to fight fire with fire to beat Silver at his own game. I guess this involves some sort of baby toy, or stick? "Come here. I want to show you something."
Working as a team, Johnny and Robby bash up some tourists and in a small world Miguel meets his dad and is invited to dinner. (Love how everything falls into place so conveniently.)
Robby continues to prove to be difficult sending mixed messages to Johnny. It's petulant immature behavior. They either like each other, or they don't? Make up your mind. The pouty spats can't continue. And why doesn't Robby ever report for parole if he was only released from prison not long ago? As if they'd let a convicted felon cross the Mexican border.
In a classic shock, soap opera ending, a 50 year old Chozen enlists in Cobra Kai by stealth as Terry Silver is totally unaware of who just infiltrated their dojo.
What they should have done was bring back Jessica Andrews and have her seek revenge for what Cobra Kai put her through as Mr. Silver, and Barnes, are not Chozen's fight.
No Andrews, Kreese, Barnes, Snake or Dennis in this episode. Too many other characters though and not enough time to fit them all in in this short 30-minute episode. Sadly, time goes so fast when you indulge in 'Cobra Kai.' For the record... give Hawk more air time.
