Karate Kid: Legends Movie Review

Karate Kid: Legends was released on May 30 of 2025.

It is set a few years after the series Cobra Kai and stars Jackie Chan, reprising his role as Mr. Han from The Karate Kid 2010 movie, Ralph Macchio reprising his role as Daniel LaRusso from most of The Karate Kid movies and Cobra Kai, and Ben Wang as the new Karate Kid and is Jackie’s character’s nephew in the movie.

If you are a fan of The Karate Kid movies and of Cobra Kai, there is nothing not to like in Karate Kid: Legends.

Ben Wang’s character, like Larusso’s character in the original movie, moves from his home to a new home and has to get acclimated.  Along the way, he gets a girlfriend, who has a mean ex who is also a martial artist and bully.  

Both Jackie and Ralph’s characters end up helping Ben’s character become an even better martial artist and prepares him for this tournament.  

And of course, he ends up facing his girlfriend’s ex in the tournament.

For some, it may be business as usual, but if you want to have some fun, watch Karate Kid: Legends.

I’m not saying everything about it here, but trust me, it is a lot of fun.

And stick around for the end credits because there is a fun Easter egg.
