Towards the end of the village storm scene, Chozen speaks angrily in Japanese toward Daniel as he flees into the night. He says "Kono yarô! Koroshite yaru zo!". Translated: "You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" more
Goofs:
Factual errors: The car that Daniel and Mr. Miyagi get in at the airport - the driver is on the "American" side. They drive on the left side of the road in Japan, so therefore, the driver should have been on the right. more

Surprisingly well-made sequel, 2 January 2003
8/10
Author: Mike (rkoegel@earthlink.net) from Selbyside - St. Paul, MN USA

Daniel Larusso is back this time in Okinawa, Japan to visit Mr. Miyagi's home village, but upon arrival they discover it's being overrun by his old nemesis and his construction company. The climatic fight scene in the vintage karate ring was about as good as a sequel can get and wasn't relying on the first film for material. If you liked the first "KARATE KID", this one is almost as good, but please; do not see the 3rd sequel, it is Macchio's worst film ever.
