The Karate Kid, Part 2
(1986)
Directed by John G.
Avildsen this sequel again stars Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita. Mr
Miyagi and Daniel travel to Okinawa to visit Mr Miyagi's dying father
while settling a matter of honour.
What the plot of this
film has in it's favour is that it is not retread of the plot of the
original which is too often the case but is rather aimless at times.
There are a couple of elements of the story that rub me up the wrong
way like the girlfriend from the original being written out fairly
harshly and having a final big fight in a film promoting pacifism.
Mostly the film is well made but despite good intentions this is a
fairly week effort.
2/5
