King Cobra - S3-E6

Factual error: Flashback when Kreese is in Vietnam. His captain, as well as other officers at their base camp were wearing modern uniforms, wrong for the time. (00:01:05 - 00:01:29)

King Cobra - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: When Miguel realises Johnny liked all Ali's photos, he looks embarrassed and shakes his head to the right, with his mouth open. In the next frame he looks significantly different, with his mouth shut. (00:09:23)

Obstáculos - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: During the dream fight scene, Tory kicks Sam onto a platform. In the wide shot, Sam turns to the left after getting kicked. In the closeup, she's turned to the right.

The Good, The Bad, and the Badass - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode when Daniel and Johnny try to pick up Robby from juvie, the background shows that the weather changes in an instant. When they're arguing, it's raining. When Robby refuses their help, it's sunny.

December 19 - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: After Johnny picks up the small spear in the dojo, the first spear (next to the one picked up) changes angles (tilting positions) every time it's shown during the scene.

Video

December 19 - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Ali dishes about Johnny and Daniel's high school rivalry, she holds her wine glass in one shot but not in the next. It's noticeable even when the camera is not on her.

December 19 - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Ali dishes about Johnny and Daniel's high school rivalry, she is sometimes moving just one hand in one shot then it's both hands in the next shot.

Match Point - S4-E5

Continuity mistake: Kreese and Silver have 2 glasses of water on their table. In the next shot, a waiter comes and places those glasses of water on the table. (00:17:57)

The Fall - S4-E9

Character mistake: Considering she was wearing heeled boots, Ms. Underwood should have either taken her shoes off or at least have had a carpet provided to her if she was going to sing on the competition mat, as her shoes could have torn it. Other than emergency medical professionals, anyone who is going to step on the mat should remove their footwear.

Suggested correction: It's not uncommon for people wearing sandals to slip them on and off, wasn't she getting ready to leave anyway at that point?

No, this was before she decided to leave, she was just sitting in the chair still reading.

Downward Spiral - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Lawrence is giving a ride to a guy who is on the phone. There is an older vehicle behind them. The older vehicle moves closer when the scene changes. The entire time, we can see out the back window.

Head of the Snake - S5-E10

Continuity mistake: About 8 minutes into the episode, Silver is talking to the other female sensei, and she sees the stretch limo crash through the gates on her tablet. It makes it all the way through but when she picks it up to show Silver, the video backs itself up.

Season 6 generally

Other mistake: During the Sekai Taikai tournament, all of the characters and extras wear new, pristine gis (karate uniforms) that never seem to get dirty. As they use their own gear, you would expect at least some wear and tear from previous use, or some marks from the fights, training, sweating, etc., to show occasionally, but the uniforms all seem brand-new all the time.

Suggested correction: It's not uncommon for competitors to bring multiple gis to a tournament; perhaps the participants were told to always have a fresh uniform for the cameras.

Even if they brought multiple gis, you would expect to see some wear and tear, or marks from previous contests. Also, several of the contestants are high school students from low- or middle-income families; they would not be able to afford buying several brand new uniforms for a single contest.

Maybe the tournament organisers supplied the uniforms?

Underdogs - S6-E4

Continuity mistake: When in the woods at the meeting spot before the flag events, the sun is first high up in the sky, then very low in the background close to setting, then back high up in its original position (all from the same exact spot in each scene).

The Rise - S4-E10

Johnny Lawrence: Robby. What's going on?
Robby Keene: I followed you.
Johnny Lawrence: What happened here?
Robby Keene: We're moving to a new location. Multiple locations, I think.
Johnny Lawrence: You kicked ass today. It could've gone either way.
Robby Keene: Yeah. Thanks.
Johnny Lawrence: Hey, it's just a match. Don't let it eat you up, trust me.
Robby Keene: It's not that, um, it's this kid, Kenny. I thought I could take him under my wing, be the mentor I wish I'd had when I was younger. When I saw him today it, uh, it was like looking in a mirror. And I realised I screwed everything up. And I had all this hate inside of me for you and for Miguel. And I thought I could use Cobra Kai to control that. But it just made things worse and now it's never going to get better.
Johnny Lawrence: That's not true. You had a good thing going with LaRusso. I got in the way of that. Don't blame yourself, you blame me.
Robby Keene: I'm sick of blaming you, Dad.

Take a Right - S2-E6

Trivia: Minor spoiler: In season 2, Johnny reunites with his old Cobra Kai buddies. One of them, Tommy, has been ill for some time. They go on one last ride together, and by the morning Tommy has died. Robert Garrison, who plays Tommy, went through something very similar. Robert had been ill for some time, and got together with the actors for one last reunion in this episode. He sadly passed away on 9/27/19, just months after the show aired.

Show generally

Question: I've never seen the show so an explanation would really help. Why would Johnny open up his own Cobra Kai dojo? Since there was probably a lot of negative publicity due to how Kreese taught his students and how he attacked Johnny, a lot of people probably wouldn't go to a dojo synonymous with brutality but maybe to a dojo that taught karate the way it should be learned.

Answer: Just like in the original film, some guys want that brutality. Johnny in part opens the dojo because of his past rivalry with Daniel and to train a kid that's being bullied. But also, other kids that are being bullied want to join in order to learn to fight back. Johnny is also teaching the Cobra Kai creed (Strike First. Strike hard. No Mercy.") so that's why he opens his dojo with that name and the old Cobra Kai dojo's past reputation is exactly what he wants to elicit.
