In “Nachspiel”, the 1st episode of the 3rd “Cobra Kai” season, Sensei Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) drinks too much and gets into an argument with some other guests in a bar, who explain to him: “You’re gammeling like a piece of dirt bathed in shit. ”
Later in the parking garage, Johnny smashes the windshield of the two of them and the scene is reminiscent of one of the first moments from “Karate Kid II” from 1986. Back then, John Kreese (Martin Kove) took part in a confrontation right after the legendary All-Valley tournament Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) pounded 2 car windows.

A visibly upset Daniel Kreese remembers: “That little bastard showed you – several times”, alluding to the events of “Karate Kid II” and Karate Kid III. “In both parts, Mr. Miyagi missed John Kreese a rub.
