While there wasn’t an official music video for “You’re The Best”, you can relive the scene from the film that features the song…
There was a music video for “Moment of Truth” that looks like was filmed in Mr. Miyagi’s back yard…
And finally, no music video for “Young Hearts” but I thought this split screen comparison of the scenes at Golf N Stuff from both The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai was fun.
