The Karate Kid Part III celebrates its anniversary today, originally released June 30, 1989. A guilty pleasure for sure, the law of diminishing returns for sequels can’t be more evident than it is here. Although, it was certainly rectified with the Cobra Kai series. I’ve been to a couple of the locations over the years….
We start with the original film location’s dojo at 5223 Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood.
A quick visit to the South Seas apartments from the original Karate Kid, located at 19223 Saticoy Street in Reseda, California.
The Ennis Brown house serves as bad guy Terry’s mansion. It is located at 2607 Glendower Avenue in Los Angeles.
The realty office was located at 1303 West Magnolia Boulevard in Burbank, California.
The bonsai shop was erected at 130 North Avenue 50 in Los Angeles.
The pottery shop was across the street at 135 North Avenue 50.
The jogging scene was shot around 200 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica.
The dance club was shot at Casa Vertigo, located at 1828 Oak Street in Los Angeles.
