Love the more Miyagi centric story, the unhinged look on Martin Kove’s Face after he busts his knuckles open on the second window, the ice (!!!), and the fire final 20 minutes.
I love the first three Karate Kid movies (dig the fourth one too) kinda in the same way most people love the Back to the Future trilogy. Each entry brings the kind of goods I look for and i could pop in any one at any time. Part 3 might be my favorite of the sequels (because it almost feels like a cannon films take on the story), but part 2 is certainly no slouch and the better of the two of you ask me. I wish they really went to Japan (and spoke more Japanese) but those are minor nitpicks... that failed crane kick still makes me bite my nails.
As a kid, obviously I loved and related to Daniel, the dorky outsider from New Jersey. Now that I’m An Old™, I find the Miyagi character so much more interesting — especially in this sequel. Miyagi returns to Okinowa to see his ailing father, and must grapple with a decision he made long ago to leave his home after falling in love with the woman arranged to marry his best friend.
The whole set-up and subplot are perfectly engineered to test Miyagi’s fight-only-as-a-last-resort philosophy of martial arts, and Pat Morita is really good in the role. If The Karate Kid Part II was, say, The Karate Kid Presents: Miyagi and it was fully a spinoff movie without Daniel, made by…
this guy has way too much game. finding ladies basically the instant he gets places.
I know a lot of people who look at this review and see the number of stars will scoff at the rating but please, stop and think first. I just rewatched this for the first time in probably fifteen years. I grew up as a child of the eighties and the Karate Kid was one of my first cinema heroes. I didn't realise how I would feel about it when i revisited it as an adult...but here I sit, quietly impressed. It reminded me of the Temple of Doom in terms of prowess of a sequel.
Yes, the basic key events are there from the first one but this does so much more. This is a character study about friendship,…
Repostando do Twitter: Hoje foi a vez de apresentar Karatê Kid 2 para as meninas (minha filha e minha sobrinha). Também curtiram muito. Eu devo ter visto esse filme no cinema umas 15 vezes quando foi lançado. E vou dizer: continua funcionando muito bem.
Acho que muita gente subestima o que Ralph Macchio faz nesses filmes. Ele projeta uma sinceridade, uma gentileza, como Daniel LaRusso que se torna fácil acreditar em sua devoção a Miyagi e em sua vontade de honrar o mestre. E Pat Morita... bom, o sr. Miyagi é um daqueles personagens instantaneamente icônicos. A cena entre ele e Macchio logo após a morte do pai de Miyagi, quando estão sentados diante do mar, é de uma força…
