John Kreese, the Cobra Kai sensai is back and wants revenge. So he has a good friend Terry Silver, befriend Daniel and lie about Kreese being dead. Silver trains Daniel when Daniel is forced to enter a tournament and defend his belt. When Mr. Miyagi won't train Daniel. Silver teaches Daniel to go against his teachings and to do things Cobra Kai style. Ralph Machio is whiny and annoying the most in this one with not his best performance. He's much better in the YouTube Red Cobra Kai series. While the plot is pretty goofy, I can't say there's a Karate Kid movie I don't like, even the remake lol.

Just another lazy rehash of the themes of the original, with a ridiculous plot, some laughable moments and some insane performances. Morita is still charming in it, as usual.

We've lost pretty much all the charm that the original had at this point. Daniel is a bit annoying and the villains are absolute caricatures at this point. Using the kata as a one trick pony like the kick in the first? All just very lazy and treading over the same ground. I remembered enjoying these films more as a child, I guess I didn't really know what good writing was back then!

Oh, wow, this is quite instrumental to understanding the backstory to the Cobra Kai TV show! A lot of things are clearer now / make much more sense :)

It's cool that "Cobra Kai" kept the song from the intro of this movie. It's a cool song and the modern version that is sped up is even better. I'm More

I totally forgot about this one until someone at work made an obscure reference about it... and suddenly I was faced with memories I'd rather forget. Honestly, when you remember The Next Karate kid and not Part III, it should tell you something.

Anyway, he was right, it did have Robyn Lively in i More

**The weakest of them all in the Karate Kid franchise.**

After an excellent initial film and a sufficiently honorable sequel, this film comes to us… and there is no way to hide that the quality of the material presented is substantially lower and that the film works badly.

Considering the second karate kid movie is one of my personal favorites of all time I can say I was very excited to see where the story would go. But after watching this film I can confidently say that the second film should have been the end of the franchise. This film feels lazy, over the top, st More
