Calling all The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai fans! With Cobra Kai's popularity on Netflix, we wanted to share our uncut, exclusive interview with actor Martin Kove aka John Kreese, the franchise's infamous villain, with fellow franchise fans. Cobra Kai has just released its fourth season, including the infamous character of Terry Silver...Martin's partner in this very dojo for Karate Kid III!

Mr. Kove guides us through the original Cobra Kai dojo location -- his first time in 30+ years! -- located in North Hollywood, CA. He shares special stories and comments about movies, television, and his career. This is a interview you DO NOT want to miss.

Enjoy this full, uncut interview from Beyond the Backlot's archives that was originally filmed for our The Karate Kid (1984) On Location episode, which can be found in our On Location playlist.

Thanks for watching!

What if your favorite movie could come back to life? It does in Beyond the Backlot.

As kids of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, we have fond memories of watching our favorite films over and over. Thanks to theaters and VHS tapes, these movies aren't just blockbusters from the past - they're part of our childhood.

Beyond the Backlot taps into our hunger for nostalgia by visiting the current day locations of our favorite films.
