Sean Kanan returns to the Karate Kid franchise in 'Cobra Kai.' TIME spoke to seankanan about the evolution of Mike Barnes

film franchise opened in 1989, nobody could’ve expected we’d still be following the characters from that poorly received sequel over 30 years later. And yet it lives on in the excellent fifth season ofWhile the series has seen the sociopathic sensei Terry Silver ofbecome the main villain, season 5 welcomes the return of another villain: Mike Barnes , the cruel bully Silver once hired to humiliate Daniel LaRusso in the 1985 All Valley Karate Tournament.

The stuff with Billy [Zabka] we pretty much made up on the fly, because it wasn’t very complicated. The big fight that involved the most choreography was the one between Chozen and Mike. I was critically injured on the set ofbecause things weren’t planned out the way they should’ve been. That’s why it’s so important that the choreography is well-rehearsed, so nobody gets hurt.

I was really excited about it. You’re talking about a guy who very easily could’ve been a card-carrying sociopath based upon what we saw as a 17-year-old kid. So he straightened his life out. But once Terry Silver burns down his furniture store, the switch gets flipped, and we see that the bad boy of karate still dwells within him.

In the finale, there’s a moment when Mike is telling Daniel about what happened with the store, and he mentions his wife, but doesn’t really go into it. I will just say, and this is something that anybody who sees season 5 and the finale can infer, it certainly appears that the table is set that Mike could be a member of the band now, alongside Chozen and Johnny and Daniel. Wouldn’t it be interesting if after all these years, Mike Barnes finds himself a sensei with Miyagi-Do? The possibility is definitely there..

'No drop in standards' amid diversity row, head of RAF saysAir Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston tells Sky News there was 'absolutely no drop in operational standards, no drop in any standards' after the RAF's head of recruitment objected to a policy on diversity. Wolverhampton is diverse too, it's also full of racism from all sides, as well as the usual paedophile ring running quietly in the corridors of power. Don't worry, Wolves Council are too scared of the truth to take me to Court. How would he know? Has the RAF repelled any invasions recently? Adapt or perish, we didn't win WW2 by a standard team of the day, people like Alan Turing, the women at Bletchley & in other important roles.
