![]() ![]() Miyagi’s father is dying, so he heads to Okinawa and takes Daniel with him. The Karate Kid Part II is interesting because it takes place in Japan this time. In the end, it is definitely the least interesting of The Karate Kid trilogy, and the one I definitely watch the least. On one end, the whole Terry Silver/Mike Barnes subplot to get Daniel to join them is over-the-top and ludicrous, but on the other end, the movie retreads the same stuff from first Karate Kid, making the film dry and a little boring. The Karate Kid Part III is both a weird and overly familiar movie. Miyagi, as Miyagi says that he won’t train Daniel. He enlists the help of his nutcase friend, Terry Silver (played by Thomas Ian Griffith) who lures Daniel in and takes him in as a student to split him up from Mr. Miyagi for beating him and leaving Cobra Kai in shambles. ![]() Essentially, it’s a revenge story as Cobra Kai instructor, John Kreese (played by Martin Kove) wants to get back at Daniel and Mr. Starring Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Martin Kove, Sean Kanan, and Thomas Ian Griffith, and directed by John Avildsen, who directed the whole trilogy, The Karate Kid Part III is pretty much just more of the same.

Miyagi must say over a 100 times in this movie-is also decent for her first major role, and Pat Morita is always excellent. Miyagi takes her under his wing and teachers her Karate, she learns to find inner peace… and also kick the ass of a dude who sexually harasses her. Starring Hilary Swank, Pat Morita, and Michael Ironside, and directed by Christopher Cain, The Next Karate Kid is about a grieving teen (played by Hilary Swank in her first starring role!), who has a lot of anger issues, which gets her in trouble at school. ![]()
