Hey, what's up? We are the cast of Karate Kid Legends, and we are playing Choose Your Squad
0:08
This is Choose Your Squad Karate Kid Legends Edition. In this game, you'll be creating your ultimate Karate Kid Tournament squads
0:16
The sensei doesn't fight? The sensei does not fight. Actually, let's change that. I think it's more fun if the sensei does fight in their prime
0:22
Oh, in their prime. So you get them in their prime. So you get them in their prime, and as you are all on this board, you cannot choose yourself
0:32
Once you pick a character, they are off the board and cannot be picked by anyone else
0:36
After four rounds, once all the squads are picked, the game is over. And we let our virtual audience vote and decide which squad is the best around
0:45
Clear on the rules, so we have to pick four people, one sensei and three. Everybody's fighting
0:50
But everybody's fighting. Is it a point tournament? Is it to the death? Is it
0:53
And for the sake of Credit Kid Legends, let's say this is the five boroughs. So it's a little grittier
0:59
Right, it's underground. The rules don't matter. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. And you can't be scared of heights
1:05
Because you will be fighting off with a skyscraper. After, like, Dre, some other me, they're all in Copacai
1:13
Why don't you invite me? Because we were saving you for the major
1:17
We want you on the big screen. Yeah. Okay. Jack just suddenly show up
1:22
much going on. We'll do the Cobra Kai movie in two years
1:27
and we'll come do that. I'm going to go, I have to go in his prime
1:30
so I have to do this. Otherwise, like, the OGers from 40 years
1:35
would have my head. And I agree. So I will go, I will start with
1:40
having Mr. Miyagi in his prime because he kind of got us all here. I pick Jackie Chan
1:50
Yeah. I was going to take him too. I want Jackie Chan. If he was up there, I was taking Mr. Han next
1:54
Everybody's fighting? Yeah, I want to. Okay, good job. Kung Fu lives in everything we do, Xiao Zhui
2:02
Of course I pick Miyagi. Miyagi's off the boards. Nobody chooses anymore
2:09
Oh, I know, I know, I know, because... Raph. Now his time is a sense of now I still look at you young yeah well you can look at the old one here Here I am Yeah now I here Now Ralph Here the time
2:27
It's a sensei now. So, Ralph, you got Mr. Miyagi. Ben has taken Mr. Han
2:32
And Jackie Chan has taken Daniel LaRusso as our senseis. Okay. Beautiful
2:38
All right. Now, first competitor. I'm going to go Johnny Lawrence. We've come a long way, baby
2:45
He was vicious in his prime. He was vicious in his prime. And this is him in his prime
2:49
But I think as Miyagi as his sensei, he will infuse a little of the balance that it just took LaRusso 40 years to get to
2:58
So Miyagi could do that in about 40 seconds. Absolutely. I pick Connor
3:05
He's vicious. He's a 20-ton gorilla. He's a slick-like snake, sharp-like eagle
3:16
That's awesome. That's how I'd describe it. It's awesome and incredibly accurate
3:20
Five boroughs where the points are made up and the rules don't matter? Yeah. Yeah, I'd pick Connor
3:25
One, two, three, four. Yeah, Barnes. Next to Daniel. Barnes. Badass Barnes
3:29
Because he looks tough. I don't know him. He looks tough. He's the bad boy
3:35
Really? Yeah. See? He is tough. He looks like, you know the Rockies movie
3:41
Uh, yeah. Drago. Oh, yeah. I must break. The Russian? Yeah, he's got sort of a Soviet look about him
3:51
He does look like he would break you, and he almost did. He almost broke Danusa
3:56
I must break you. Classic. Two more rounds left. Ralph. My gosh, there's so many great fighters up there
4:04
I'm going to go Robbie. Robbie. Robbie in his prime. He kind of didn't get to the victory point that he deserved through the six seasons of Cobra Kai
4:17
Robbie, he went like far Cobra Kai and then far Miyagi-Zo. Yeah, he's played all sides of the..
4:23
And he'd be the best at mastering the karate and kung fu combination, just like Lee Fang did
4:31
So I think he could handle that. 100%. I pick Miguel. Champion of the world, man
4:37
Yeah, good choice. You can argue with results Yeah And a great kid too Good choice Jackie you next I choose Same She great She looks tough Yeah this is how you basing all of your
4:49
Yes, because I don't really know them. No, but the best part... Of course, I know you
4:54
I know Dre. I know Daniel. You know me, and you're still not picking me because you're picking the ones that look tough
4:59
I get how this is going. No, I... I agree with you
5:03
I have one more round. One more choice. Yeah, one more round. And the good news is I can't wait to text her and tell her that Jackie Chan picks her
5:10
She is going to be so happy. She's going to be floored. And I was going to pick her, so he took her off the..
5:15
She's just the pose. Yep, she's really good. The pose, I already know he did know how some module are
5:22
Yes. Yeah, she's got that look that she's about to kick some tush
5:27
All right, last round. Make it count. I am going to go because we need..
5:32
We're definitely a little karate heavy. In a good way. But I've just seen the movie, so I've got to go Lee Fong
5:43
This is pretty incredible. And Easton is prime, still. Stuffed crust, all right
5:49
Stuffed crust. Thanks, Rob. The long line of Karate Kids. This is our first Asian-American Karate Kid
5:58
Luggest boy in the world. Luggest Asian-American boy in the world. Yeah, I mean, look at this roster of kids
6:06
And one of the key themes, I feel like, of this whole franchise and of the show is that anyone can be the Karate Kid
6:16
That it's not about, you know, getting bit by a radioactive spider or something
6:20
It's about how hard you work and the teachers you have. And I feel like it's pretty cool that I get to be the next chapter in that story
6:31
This also felt as much as a Karate Kid film. It felt like a Jackie Chan film. Yep, of course
6:34
It felt like there was a torch being passed almost. What was the metric you gave me
6:39
I'm like 75%? 62% Jack and Jack? I just don't want to say you're 100
6:46
Yeah, no, no. You might snorvish. I'll get a big head. I'll get a big head
6:51
I'll start asking for things. So if I pick Dre, do I get Jaden Smith in the movie or do I get Jaden Smith now
6:59
Because he's like 7 feet tall. I think in the movie In the movie Okay He very good but he just gets Yeah yeah It a weight class issue It a weight class issue That all I want to go with Quan That a good move Whoa
7:13
I want to go with Quan. I just want to pick Quan. Yeah. He's spectacular
7:18
Had he not faced that tragic, spoilers alert, death at the edge of a spoilers alert knife
7:27
That's right. I think he would have had a real shot at the whole thing. I think he would have had a pretty good run
7:31
Yeah. And his actor is a fellow Minnesotan. Ha ha. So I feel that kinship
7:39
I gotta go with my boy Kwan. Yeah, I was legitimately shocked
7:43
because I really felt like Kwan was being poised to be the big bad
7:47
The villain? Yeah. Yeah, Jackie, final pick. Oh, me. That's tough. You can phone a friend
7:54
He's got the eye. He's scanning the roster. Next to Dre. On the right, Axel? Yeah
8:01
Yeah, that's a good pick. He looked like Tom Cruise. I guess I got to text him now, too
8:10
That's great. They look like Tom Cruise, right? Yeah. Those are pretty good teams
8:14
The only person who's left up on the board that I would have chosen
8:19
pun intended, would be chosen upper right. But I took Lee Fong in that space
8:26
Chosen's a ringer to have because he carries all the Miyagi in his prime
8:30
who's a badass MF-er. I recently re-watched Karate Kid 2, and that fight scene that you guys have
8:37
just in that center... Yeah, right, in the middle of the castle
8:41
Yeah, it takes, I think, Karate Kid 1 and 3. I think it's way more vicious
8:47
It's fight to the death. Literally fight to the death, yeah. So, final recap
8:51
These are incredible teams. The Ralph Macchio Dojo, Miyagi, Johnny Lawrence, Robbie, and Lee Fong
8:59
I'm feeling good. The Ben Dojo, Mr. Han, Connor, Miguel, and Quan
9:05
That's pretty good. Jackie, you got Daniel LaRusso, you got Mike Barnes, you got Sam LaRusso, and Axel
9:13
That's a badass group too. These are all absolutely bad. I can't, I mean, there's no weak link in any of these
9:19
So, our audience, it's going to be up to you to decide which of these teams is the best around
