Captain George Turner

Captain George Turner or simply, Captain Turner, is one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Kim Sun-Yung) of The Karate Kid franchise. He is the captain of the United States Army during the Vietnam War, whose ideals of ruthlessness molded John Kreese into the merciless man he is. While initially respected by Kreese and his fellow soldiers, Turner reveals his true colors when he insists in doing whatever they need to survive, even if that means killing themselves. He is also a high-ranking student of Master Kim Sun-Yung and a major threat in hand-to-hand combat.
