One scene in particular left fans screaming with joy after they realised a subtle mention of one of much-loved American sitcom during a conversation between Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña).
During the scene the pair stop off at a sushi restaurant together and Johnny questions his pal on what they're eating.
He picks up the sushi by sticking is chopstick right through the middle and asked: "What the hell is this sh*t?"
Miguel replied: "It's a dragon roll, so basically you have some fresh avocado, some chopped up cucumber, some snow crab and Unagi on top."

Johnny couldn't quite comprehend what he was being told and said: "U-nagi-what? Unagi?"
"Yeah, it's freshwater eel," he replied.

After their class, Ross brings the pair back down to earth when he explains that one session isn't going to give them all them all the skills to be able to defend themselves properly.
