For fans of the 1984 version of The Karate Kid, this one’s for you. John Cena stars in The Karate Teen as Sammy Knox, or, the “human freight train.” Knox is against the SNL sketch’s Daniel stand-in (Jeffy Le'Hart) in the final round of the San Fernado Valley karate championships. Unfortunately, not even Kenan Thompson’s Mr. Miyagi character can train Jeffy enough to survive a brutal beat down from Knox’s moveset. A clear W for the Wolf Claw Dojo. Check it out above.
