I also noticed the following... 1)at the mark in the film after Lucille's line "Open your eyes my darling son, this is the Garden of Eden.", you can see a "dark figure" walking behind the gate just before she opens it. I wonder if this is a crew person, a real resident of the Apts., or possibly Israel Juarbe (Freddy) getting in place for the scene where Daniel kicks the door into him? Prob not Freddy because the "figure" appears to be wearing a baseball cap.
2) In addition to the Cobra Kai patches that each Cobra has on his jacket, Even Johnny's Dirtbike helmet has a big, airbrushed Cobra picture on it! This can be seen 11 minutes, and 50 seconds into the film, after Johnny says the line "Who told you man"?
3) I don't recall reading about this in the locations section...there are several streetlights on the path that the Cobras take down to the beach. These can best be scene from the 12:00 mark to the 12:20 mark in the movie. I wonder if these were placed there by the crew to augment their light source since they were shooting at night( as was done in the cemetary scene in the movie "Masters of the Universe"), or if they are really there.
4) At the 10:09 mark you can see Ali's group on the beach consists of four girls around the campfire at dusk. However, at the 10:29 mark after Daniel says "WHo could blame her, right Freddy?", Ali's group suddenly has a fifth girl around the fire. Meanwhile, Daniel's group has six guys.
5) At the 12:15 mark, you can see Daniel's "beach group" go over and shake hands with Bobby after the Cobras pull up on their bikes. Also, at the 12:28 mark, you can see them shake hans with Tommy too.
6) To me, Johnny's line "Don't touch it Punk" at the 12:47 mark, sounds like really bad "looping" (overdubbing vocals in a scene). It hardly even sounds like his voice. For the longest time though, I thought it was supposed to be Daniel saying that.
7) If Ali, and all the Cobras are rich, and live in "the hills", howcome they go to school in "the valley". Shouldn't they be in the upscale type of school that was seen in the movie Cluless? Just nitpicking lol

I was also curious about this...Where did Daniel go after he ditched Ali at school instead of going with her to Golf and Stuff because he saw the Cobras standing there (which apparently is all they do, since they were in the same spot when he arrived at school before the Soccer tryouts)? Anyhoo, if he went straight home, it took him an awfully long time to get there (especially if he rode the bus) since it was daylight when he left school and night time when he got home and saw his bike was fixed.

Yet another tidbit...Spider Man must've been a popular costume choice at Daniel's school Halloween dance. There's a "Spiderman" in the bathroom who says the line "Hey Johnny, what's up?", There's a second "Spiderman" with no mask visible behind the Cobras as the run out of the gym saying "get out of the way." He also walks into the frame with the group of kids from the bottom, right of the screen as the Cobras run down the street in pursuit of Daniel. Finally, Daniel asks Mr. Miyagi after being rescued, "What happened to Spiderman?".."the guy who bailed me outback there". All this reference to a Marvel comics character, and "The Karate Kid" is a DC comics (Marvel's rival) owned character!!

WOW! A big GOOF! The crutch used to hold Daniels shower costume to his back (as seen in the bathroom/Dance scene) is magically bak in Miyagi's workshop after Daniel gets rescued from the Cobras at the 42:14 mark. If you have doubts that it is THAT crutch, then direct your attention to the 42:53 mark, and you will see that the shower curtain itself is still on Miaygi's wall. Now remember, Danile tore his costume off in the middle of the street while fleeing from the Cobras, and had none of it on across the entire length of the field, so there is no reason for these items to be in Miyagi's shop, except of course that the scenes were obviously not filmed in the sequence in which they were shown. Also in this scene, the "compress" Miyagi gives Daniel for his head is actually the headband he will later use during training, and the tournament (and eventually throughout the 2nd, and 3rd films, now that's durability).

The apparent name of the high school Daniel, and everyone else attends in the movie is "West Valley High School". This is is on a sticker inside Daniel's locker at the 57:54 mark in the first KK movie.
