    They go to Japan and the honor of the Miagi name must be restored. Compared to the original, this movie kind of drags but it's a decent sequel.

    i don't know how i'd never seen this before. i must've seen parts 1 & 3 hundreds of times when i was a nipper. i think i've even seen the hilary swank one more recently a couple of times. somehow this follow up that builds on the relationship between teacher and student has escap...( read more)ed me. i loved the fact there wasn't some big competition at the end. it was still nice to see an almost to the death fight though. i know everyone else has given this a lower rating than me but i'm just a sucker for the karate kid series. i loved the story of how karate came to the miyagi family, how an ancient ancestor loved fishing too like all miyagis but also loved sake and mixed the two together and woke up on coast of china, learned karate and returned to okinawa, japan 10 years later. ah ha...i'll leave you with this quote:

    [first lines]
    [after Daniel has won his first tournament]
    Daniel: Hey Mr. Miyagi, you know I've been thinking.
    Mr. Miyagi: About what, Daniel-San?
    Daniel: That we should come up with some kind of strategy.
    Mr. Miyagi: For what?
    Daniel: My future, my whole tournament career.
    Mr. Miyagi: Miyagi already have one.
    Daniel: Really? What is it?
    Mr. Miyagi: Early retirement.

    Must have seen this a million times as a kid, absolutely loved it! Would I watch it now? Probably not... Mind you, I still think Mr Miyagi rocks!

    These movies were so good. I did not ever think I would like them but they to me are classic. It is too bad Ralph never really became anything after these really.

    This is actually my favorite Karate Kid movie.
  • November 15, 2009
    Quite a worthy sequel with exotic Japanese locations and new characters This time the story here takes a profound look into the life of Mr. Miyagi. The friendship between Daniel and Mr Miyagi had matured and the two depends on each other to overcome obstacles. Mr Miyagi still ret...( read more)ains a noble presence and his acting is still top notch. The story is certainly darker than the first film but lacks the fun and quirkiness.

    This was a very good sequel to a classic movie. Mr Miyagi and Daniel are such likable characters you can't help but root for them. Sure, this movie has a bit of a darker tone to it, but it is still very fun to watch as Daniel tries acclimate to the culture and the people of Okina...( read more)wa. Mister Miyagi becomes even more likable in this movie and the emotion that was shown was excellent as well, especially during the death of his father. Haven't seen the third one, just hoping it is decent though.
