Canada Movie Reviews of The Karate Kid IIMovie Review: Makes the first Karate Kid seem like a documentary
The first Karate Kid movie was, let's face it, completely unbelievable. But still it was an enjoyable fairy tale for kids as well as adults and the relationship between Pat Morita and Ralph Macchio went along way toward bringing charm to the story. This movie, however, takes the apprenticeship to ludicrous extremes, continuing to emphasize its already dubious premise that a martial art is something that can be quickly and easily mastered. Somehow "the kid" and Miyagi end up in Japan, getting involved in local hi-jinks, and even more unbelievable tournament than in the first film, and some old rival of Miyagi's who practically stalks him like a serial killer. To this day, I can still hear him uttering that infamous threatening line: "Three Days, Miyagi, THREE DAYS!!!" Where's Jerry Zucker and the Airplane crew when you need them? |
