‘Karate Kid: Legends’ Has a Major Problem That Jackie Chan Can’t Solve Because of Cobra Kai
The Karate Kid franchise is back with Legends, a movie that bridges the gap between the original Miyagi-verse and the reboot series, Cobra Kai. Ralph Macchio’s Daniel Larusso and Jackie Chan’s Mr. Han have teamed up for this project, and fans are looking forward to this crossover.
But while the return of these mentors is undoubtedly thrilling, there seems to be one glaring issue that the movie might struggle to overcome. So, what exactly is holding back Karate Kid: Legends? Let’s break it down.
