Review of The Karate Kid Part II (1986) by Phil H — 18 Jun 2010
This follow up is great for the continuity but not quite as cracking. The look is still gorgeous being in Japan and with an oriental style but the film loses the impact cos its a sequel. The soundtrack isn't as hot and the action kinda loses it appeal as its more street fighting instead of bullies at school.
Its still a great kids film with an adult swing to it and the plot is very good showing us more to Morita's Mr Myagi and his native background. All the main cast returned too which really helps, never gonna be as good as the first but still awesome.
