How many Karate Kid movies are there?

Most sources break the Karate Kid film franchise into these six main movies:

1. The Karate Kid (1984) – the original Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi story.

2. The Karate Kid Part II (1986).

3. The Karate Kid Part III (1989).

4. The Next Karate Kid (1994) – with a new student, Julie Pierce, mentored by Mr. Miyagi.

5. The Karate Kid (2010) – a reboot/remake starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan.

6. Karate Kid: Legends – a more recent continuation of the franchise, listed as a theatrical film entry alongside the others.

So, when people ask “how many Karate Kid movies are there?” , the widely accepted count is six films in the main movie lineup.

What about Cobra Kai and other spin‑offs?

• The animated TV series (The Karate Kid 1989 cartoon) and the live‑action series Cobra Kai are part of the franchise, but not counted as “movies” in that total.

• Guides to the franchise usually list the five older films plus the more recent Karate Kid: Legends as the current complete movie set.

If you binge the six movies and then jump into Cobra Kai (the series), you cover almost all of the current Karate Kid storyline on screen.
