    Not as good......

    This was not as good as I actually remember it from all those years ago - I didn’t really enjoy this - apart from the music and scenery of the training part near the end, this was really not my type of movie (cant believe its the same movie I saw as a kid) So I don’t think I will be going for part 1 or 2 now. Kids might enjoy this though.

    The Karate Kid 3 is good.

    The Karate Kid 3 is reasonably good, I have really enjoyed the story of Daniel Larusso. In this part an original bad guy from KK One has returned to get revenge on Daniel and Miyagi. Good viewing and some great martial art scenes.

    Poor Watching

    I think they should have stopped after KK2. The next is from the sublime to the ridiculous. Obviously, they were running out of material.

    I enjoyed it as much as the first sequel

    In part 2 of the 'trilogy' we saw Daniel and Mr Miyagi go to Okinawa. Now almost a year after the events of the first film they return to California. But Kreese the nasty karate sensai is out for revenge, and he teams up with old Vietnam pal Terry Silver to destroy Daniel and Mr Miyagi's friendship. A lot of people slate this film but I enjoyed it as much as the first sequel. Great to see Kreese back again and two more excellent villains in karate's bad boy Mike Barnes(played well by Sean Kanan) and Mr Silver(Thomas Ian Griffiths). Yes Daniel gets his ass kicked for most of the film, in some ways he has gone full circle and is vulnerable like he was in the first movie. But he does rise above it in the end and justice prevails. A nice way to end the story.
