"Recinda, California The place is real, the events are fictional. Why you wouldn’t want to visit: Bullies roam the beaches, if you are not careful you could be challenged to a fight. Just ask Daniel LaRusso."

“Was there any kid in the 1980's who didn't ENJOY this movie? The only thing some people HATED is Daniel having to fight 5 bullies at once, instead of it should be Johnny vs Daniel. A classic and it was amazing to see Mr. Miyagi at first being just an old man to...he can kick ass who Daniel NEEDS to listen to. Then you realize with the Cobra Kai series, WHO the REAL BULLY/Bad guy really is: John Kreese.” read more
