Chozen did the same in Season 3 of Cobra Kai and it was nice to see him and Daniel become good friends. Kumiko still was as beautiful as ever and a sweetheart like she was in Karate Kid Part II.
What if Chozen won the fight at the end though, and killed Daniel? Apology wouldn't have meant anything, Miaygi then would have told him, all your fault Sato, for the hate you gave to Chozen, my student killed because of you, I report you to the police, Miaygi show no mercy now.
@@MrYoumitube The "palpatine" of the Karate would would maybe be the man who trained Kreese and Silver. As easily as Miyagi beat them their own teacher could have destroyed them too. Yoda and Palpatine fought each other to a standstill in Revenge of the Sith. If this fictional universe is ever expanded with books and novels like Star Wars or Star Trek were I want Miyagi to face that Korean man (forgot his name) who trained Silver and Kreese maybe in continuity during the 9 or so years that elapsed between KK3 and KK4 (KK3 had to take place in 1985 and because the year is not mentioned in KK4 I will default to the year it was FILMED until told otherwise).
@@vjreimedia People keep calling Miyagi the "yoda" of the Karate world but Star Wars was filmed earlier. If the timing had been different and Star Wars had been filmed AFTER Karate Kid then people would watch Star Wars and call Yoda "the Miyagi of Star Wars" or "the science fiction version of Miyagi".
Part 2 is my favorite as well, the writers give us the full back-story for the Miyagi character which filled in all the gaps from the original film's story. I also thought Sato and Chozen were more formidable opponents than Kreese and Johnny.
Watching this now (after Cobra Kai) I appreciate the backstory even more. And just this scene alone, look at all the attention to detail, going on in the village (in the background) while Miyagi and Daniel are walking around. From the villagers to the houses, the landscape and peacefulness. Very fun to observe, I look at this film differently now. (And yes, i realize it was filmed in Hawaii...lol). But they did a good job of creating the Okinawan village.

Having grown up with the Karate Kid movies as a big part of my adolescence in the 80s, these and Cobra Kai hold such a real place in my spirit and heart. I can not wait to see Chozen and Daniel team up in Season 5. 2 students of True Miyagi-Do Karate. RIP Mr. Miyagi.
I was born in 78 so this was my favorite movies as a child.1 and 2 were my shit. The best part about cobra kai is its actually a really good show. It could have sucked but they wrote some good story lines
I’m so glad my dad raised me on old movies from his generation especially now with the karate kid movies and cobra Kai it makes me appreciate it all even more
They need to do a prequel Karate Kid movie that shows Mr. Miyagi learning karate from his father, his friendship and then falling-out with Sato, and finally his coming to America. That would be an epic movie and would make a millions at the box office!
Hell yes, a movie, or a TV show series like "Cobra Kai" today. Create a whole "prequel" series, about the whole Miyagi ancestry described in his family dojo, filled with side dramas, with Sato there. Call the series "Miyagi-do"!
@@rumble2468 There could be a whole spinoff, called "Sato", or "Yukie", or "Tomi Village", or "Okinawa", about how those characters responded to WW2 from the Japanese side, how Sato became a Military Karate instructor and took over the Village, using Karate, goons, and guns.
All 3 of the movies I love equally, but this is my favorite one. The going back to Okinawa to learn about Mr.Miyagis family line. And especially the scenery.
Chozen saying to Daniel San "your teacher a coward" and in Cobra Kai "your sensei is a man of great honor, I could only hope to be like him" its nice to see how both Sato and Chozen redeemed themselves
Sato and Chozen in the KK 2 movie were made out to be like one dimensional "Hawaii Five-O" style villains. I'm glad the Cobra Kai TV series redeemed these characters... in particular Chozen.
Redeemed pretty much everyone, or should say, gave them a few more dimensions and elevated them to Miyagi's level in terms of character. I never would have thought Johnny Lawrence would be one of my favorite characters of all time a few years ago.
old films like this slip such wisdom its easy to miss..... Daniel says 15k americans killed... must have been terribele... Mr Miyagi "Yah....150k Okinawan and Japanese killed, why we were ALL SO STUPID"
I know this movie is fiction because one does not let a beautiful young lady like Kumiko slip away...all due respect to Amanda LaRusso. And that wisdom at 5:45
I disagree. You absolutely do let a beautiful young lady that left you for a career slip away for ANOTHER (id daresay even slightly more beautiful) that helped you build your business and bore your children.
distance relationships tend to be a bust, especially in the pre-internet days Other than that, the *only* thing that bugged me about that relationship was the rushed breaking up with Ali to make it happen. That's why I think plots of the 2nd and 3rd movies should appear in the opposite order, so ya get movie 1 as normal, 2 dealing with the fallout from 1, and 3 going to Okinawa and finally wrapping things up for a more complete-feeling trilogy. Though, that's mostly because it always seemed weird that after Okinawa, Daniel wouldn't be able to take on Silver's thugs and would be so easily swayed away from Mr Miyagi. They also wouldn't have had to necessarily write out Daniel's Okinawan love interest like they did either, or explain why certain characters weren't there during the Cobra Kai strikes back plot.
Miyagi never took his eyes off Soto. Never blinked. Never clinched. Just sat there studying his opponent. It if you go back to first back movie he always told Daniel. Always look in eye after popping him on the head.
I think a great OTHER idea for a tv show (or maybe MOVIE) would be an extreme PREQUEL taking place decades earlier with young versions of Miyagi and Sato. It could be to the fictional universe of Karate Kid and its sequel Cobra Kai what the Star Wars prequels were to the original Star Wars. Everything we learn about Miyagi's past like the death of his wife and unborn son, his war adventures, his training with and eventual conflict with Sato could manifest.
Well he was rich and could afford it. Seems like CARS is a recurring theme on the show between Miyagi's car collection and Daniel getting rich from Larusso Auto. Makes me suspect the writers of the show are car enthusiasts.

True , our movies and songs described our life and what we wished for We had CRUEL SUMMERS We had HOT SUMMER NIGHTS we WALKED LIKE AN EGYPTIAN when we were said we said WE MIGHT AS WELL JUMP we would WALK 500 MILES we would think of SHADES OF MICHAELANGELO sometimes we loved dressing in BLACK VELVET we had a choice to be so many Ninja's an American Ninja, The Last Ninja, we could ENTER THE NINJA or become 5 ELEMENTS OF THE NINJA, we could master THE LAST DRAGON we could suffer the 9 DEATHS OF THE NINJA or PRAY FOR DEATH we could enter A Never ending story or be part of waste land in MAD MAX where on the roads it was a white line nightmare then we had Star Wars and on and on it goes Man no wonder we were pumped in the 80s
Does rule #2 really say “first learn rule #1”, or is rule #2 simply more advanced than Miyagi thought Daniel was prepared for? That would fit Miyagi’s character, using this as gentle way to keep Daniel’s learning in pace with his training, without resorting to “You are not ready for that yet.” It reminds me of a wooden sign affixed near the entrance of Stew Leonard’s where rule #1 was “The Customer is Always Right.” And rule #2 was “If the Customer is Ever Wrong, Re-read Rule #1.” Edit: I looked it up, and rule #2 does say that. The specific translation is “take rule #1 to heart.”
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? yeah, but buu was pure randomness. Frieza was manipulative. He lied to vegeta and told him that a giant meteor killed his people just so that he could enlist him. He killed paragus to get broly to go super saiyan. Is that not Silver getting Daniel to punch the wooden dumby all over again?
Love the old Karate Kid movies, especially the first two of em!!!! Even though there's a big plot hole involved - remember, in the first one Mr. Miyagi told Daniel his wife died only to be very much alive in the second installment - they're absolutely worth to be seen!!!!
Yukie was not Miyagi's wife. Miyagi married his wife after he fled to America. Yukie was going to marry Sato in Okinawa but fell in love with Miyagi instead. That's why Miyagi went to America and why Sato considered him a coward because he wanted to fight Miyagi to the death for the right to marry Yukie.
Where the hell does Chozen get off calling Miyagi a "coward". Miyagi could beat the crap out of Chozen with one hand while using the other to pick his own nose and he would have beaten Sato too. Remember earlier in the movie when Sato kept hitting that big piece of wood but it would not break? Well when Sato was trapped under the same size piece of wood Miyagi broke it in half with just one swing and to add to the difficulty factor it was during a storm which would be distracting and if he was not especially careful the force of his swing would either kill or very badly injure Sato. To me that proves that he was vastly more powerful than Sato.
well since miyagi won't fight sato and miyagi ran from okinawa when sato wanted to fight him for that girl.. that's when, chozen knows miyagi can beat him up but not his sensei(uncle).. so that's I'm thinking..
People keep bringing up that stupid piece of wood as a sign that Sato would have lost to Miyagi. Sato was smacking that wood for hand strengthening purposes. Thing is there's a very likely possibility Miyagi himself thought he would lose in a straight fight against Sato; which is why he provided Daniel with his will and testament when Sato finally forced his hand into fighting. Either Miyagi thought there was a likely possibility he would lose; or didn't have any intention of fighting Sato back and was prepared to willingly die in that fight.
@@StygianWolf 1. I think Sato had been trying his whole life to break that piece of wood but he was never able to as it was almost impossible. 2. In fights there are PROBABILITY SCALES. Note that if Sato wins he would almost certainly kill Miyagi and Miyagi knew this. I will make up numbers just to make a point and I ADMIT that those numbers might not be accurate. If 2 fighters are a perfectly even match its 50, 50 with the total always being 100. But let's say that Miyagi has 84, 16 advantage. That is HUGE compared to an even match but it means Sato has almost a one in six chance of winning so it would be almost as dangerous for Miyagi as Russian Roulette. IF the scale was 90,10 in favor of Miyagi then he has a one in ten chance of death. That is A LOT WHEN ITS DEATH. If I gave you a 10 sided die and told you that if you roll a 4 you die you would probably write your will. I think Miyagi definitely had the advantage but it was not the kind of advantage he had against Kreese and Silver which was probably something like 99,1 or 99.5, 0.5 as he totally outmatched them. Hell even if he outmatched Sato 95, 5 that is still a one in 20 chance of death, which is enough to be worth writing a will just in case. 3. Consider this: Had the script writers decided that they would have their fight Miyagi would HAVE to win because no way would Sato spare him and the writers wanted the character and actor to do 2 more movies which he did so the writers would have to keep him alive hence he would have to win.
If someone in the village was thinking, they could have easily put this fight on Pay Per View and it would have blown away any Wrestlemania revenue back then.
Pat wasn't in good health, and his stunt double looked nothing like him, which is why most of Miyagi's fight scenes are either short and simple. I think the directors did want a scuffle to be broken up, but couldn't get any footage they liked. Also, I think Miyagi's eyes told the story better than a fight would have anyway.
For those that don't know about the banners, from reddit post ZantetsukenOne: Banner on far right says, "karate musente" (空手無先手) which is directly translated as, "karate no first punch" but more naturally translated means what Mr. Miyagi said: "Karate is for defense". Banner on the left says, "senseigoshin (先正其心) which means, "First (sen), have a sound mind (seigoshin)."
It quit before we could see his father pull their hands together above his chest just before he passed away and Sato jerk his hand away! THANKS FOR THE MEMORY
I lived in between Main Land Japan (Iwakuni, Yokosuka, Atsugi, Tokyo) & Okinawa (Naha & Shuri) for 21 years. I returned to Okinawa in 2019 (after being away for 13 years), and the majority of the elders I knew passed away, but I also knew their children, so the connection was still there. I now speak w/them weekly & plan to return in 2022 (hopefully COVID-19 will be under control by then). Okinawa is BEAUTIFUL, but pollution coming from U.S Bases, Japan, S. Korea & China has made it difficult to maintain its cleanliness. However, Okinawa has done a great job at keeping clean regardless.
I loved the movie. However, I have some problems with it. I spent two years in Okinawa while in the Marines, and as a history buff I spent a lot of my off duty time travelling the island to see the historical sights from WWII. I also lived off base in Kin Ville outside of Camp Hansen with an Okinawan girl named Kako. She was not only a wonderful girl and a fine companion but also a marvelous tour guide! She took me to places of great interest that most G.I.s on the island never even knew existed. She also introduced me to her parents and I became close with her father, who had been a Japanese soldier during the war. There were times when we went to visit her parents that her father would take me out to authentic Okinawan "clubs" (for lack of a better word) that were "off limits", so to speak, to foreigners. I was only welcomed because I was with him. The point is that I know Okinawa like the back of my hand, and the representation of the island in this movie is, shall we say, farcical to say the least.
Three years at Kadena for me. And yeah, they certainly show this village as being backwards/far behind the times. My family and I explored the island often, most every free weekend, and got to see some incredible sights as well as some terribly sad ones thanks to the war. It is on my bucket list to revisit Okinawa, which, even in the 1980s when I was stationed there, was as western as any place I served. Certainly, they'd have been well aware and well prepared for the typhoon depicted in the movie. Glad you got to experience the true Okinawa. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to have the full experience, but what I we did get to see was incredible. Oddly enough, we'd get pictures developed and my wife, who was a civilian employee that worked for the Army Corps of Engineers on the island, would come to work and show what we saw to her Japanese counterparts. She was consistently amazed that the ladies would ask her where we had gone and taken the beautiful pictures, only to be told it was some place or another on the island. To which the ladies would respond that there's no place that beautiful on Okinawa. SMH. How we overlook the beauty in our own backyard is beyond me.
It shows how much his hate had clouded his mind that he actually thought Miyagi was there to kill him when in fact Miyagi was RESCUING him. If this franchise was ever expanded with books and novels like Star Wars or Star Trek it would be neat to have another appearance of Sato in book form.
It was nice when Sato apologized to Daniel and Mr. Miyagi, at the ending. It was wonderful.
Chozen did the same in Season 3 of Cobra Kai and it was nice to see him and Daniel become good friends. Kumiko still was as beautiful as ever and a sweetheart like she was in Karate Kid Part II.

Miyagi: karate is for defense only
Chosen has entered the chat room
defence takes on many forms - Chozen in cobra kai he strikes first the most and strikes harder
@@mokujin9993 "Best defence is not be there."
@@CaptKillerSF”You mean *don’t* be there??” 🤨
@@jeremiahscott2032 It's a sarcastic reference to Miyagi's line at 6:35.
I like how MIyagi didn't stop doing his kata when he saw Daniel and finished it first ^^
Daniel with that unique walk style
If Miyagi was able to handle Kreese and Silver so easily, imagine what Sato would’ve done to them.
"No be there" for Sato's punch!
That power up looked super vicious, lol Miyagi probably would've gotten his wind knocked out on this one🤣🤣🤣🤣
God..I miss the eighties.. they don't make movies like this anymore
So true
True , our movies and songs described our life and what we wished for
We had CRUEL SUMMERS
We had HOT SUMMER NIGHTS
we WALKED LIKE AN EGYPTIAN
when we were said we said WE MIGHT AS WELL JUMP
we would WALK 500 MILES
we would think of SHADES OF MICHAELANGELO
sometimes we loved dressing in BLACK VELVET
we had a choice to be so many Ninja's an American Ninja, The Last Ninja, we could ENTER THE NINJA or become 5 ELEMENTS OF THE NINJA, we could master THE LAST DRAGON we could suffer the 9 DEATHS OF THE NINJA or PRAY FOR DEATH
we could enter A Never ending story or be part of waste land in MAD MAX where on the roads it was a white line nightmare then we had Star Wars
and on and on it goes
Man no wonder we were pumped in the 80s
They sure don't. I was a teenager during the mid '80's.
Indiana jones, starwars, freddy kruger, predator , back to the future, etc.
That warm up scare Sato does at 6:55-6:57 is what Chozen also did in Cobra Kai when he was gonna fight Silver.
KK 2 is so underrated, also like the sound that Sato made while drawing the punch.
07:30 that 80s music slaps. 😆
That’s not exactly music from the 80s. It’s actually Miyagi-Do music.
Does rule #2 really say “first learn rule #1”, or is rule #2 simply more advanced than Miyagi thought Daniel was prepared for? That would fit Miyagi’s character, using this as gentle way to keep Daniel’s learning in pace with his training, without resorting to “You are not ready for that yet.”
It reminds me of a wooden sign affixed near the entrance of Stew Leonard’s where rule #1 was “The Customer is Always Right.” And rule #2 was “If the Customer is Ever Wrong, Re-read Rule #1.”
Edit: I looked it up, and rule #2 does say that. The specific translation is “take rule #1 to heart.”
Thanks for translation.
i say rule #2 was more advanced since we now know there were things Miyagi didnt teach Daniel.
The #2 write 先正其心 (Get the heart/moral right first.) Mr. Miyagi simply explained in a simple way.
@@kauyanDJ Thanks, so rule #2 doesn’t explicitly refer to rule #1?
@@Nick_Lyston No, it doesn't. They don't even came from the same book.
6:10
Those couple of guitar notes.....
Catchy and priceless
at 4:28, the old man playing the tune is the same actor who was the head monk on Ace Ventura 2
As the husband of a Japanese woman l can honestly say Pat did a great job on the accent, you like? is something l hear a lot
Lol Soto was definitely a Bad ass 😂
Miyagi dealing with Sato, then in KK3 dealing with Terry Silver is like going from fighting Perfect Cell to Namek Saga Frieza.
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? that's exactly Frieza lmao
@Why The Hell Was I In Star Trek 6? yeah, but buu was pure randomness. Frieza was manipulative. He lied to vegeta and told him that a giant meteor killed his people just so that he could enlist him. He killed paragus to get broly to go super saiyan. Is that not Silver getting Daniel to punch the wooden dumby all over again?
very strange to see chozen so young here and now so old life goes so fast lol
Love the old Karate Kid movies, especially the first two of em!!!!
Even though there's a big plot hole involved - remember, in the first one Mr. Miyagi told Daniel his wife died only to be very much alive in the second installment - they're absolutely worth to be seen!!!!
Yukie was not Miyagi's wife. Miyagi married his wife after he fled to America. Yukie was going to marry Sato in Okinawa but fell in love with Miyagi instead. That's why Miyagi went to America and why Sato considered him a coward because he wanted to fight Miyagi to the death for the right to marry Yukie.
Man, it a time machine. Oh God, why cant we go back in time?
Because Thanos destroyed the time stone along with the rest of the infinity stones. 🤪
Thank you very much, Scene City, for uploading this interesting video so that I can see it again in the future.

Sato never had chance mr miyagi would turn him to dust😂
"Shrimpo" Sensei....loved seafood and sake bombs........😂😂Johnny
Wow. This really shows how fast Japan modernized. Especially when you consider the Megacities that took over the villages today.
Watching these old clips feels so nostalgic 😢
Where the hell does Chozen get off calling Miyagi a "coward". Miyagi could beat the crap out of Chozen with one hand while using the other to pick his own nose and he would have beaten Sato too. Remember earlier in the movie when Sato kept hitting that big piece of wood but it would not break? Well when Sato was trapped under the same size piece of wood Miyagi broke it in half with just one swing and to add to the difficulty factor it was during a storm which would be distracting and if he was not especially careful the force of his swing would either kill or very badly injure Sato. To me that proves that he was vastly more powerful than Sato.
Yet, Mr. Miagi said to Sato, and called him, my old friend. Very humble, I should say.
well since miyagi won't fight sato and miyagi ran from okinawa when sato wanted to fight him for that girl.. that's when, chozen knows miyagi can beat him up but not his sensei(uncle).. so that's I'm thinking..
People keep bringing up that stupid piece of wood as a sign that Sato would have lost to Miyagi. Sato was smacking that wood for hand strengthening purposes. Thing is there's a very likely possibility Miyagi himself thought he would lose in a straight fight against Sato; which is why he provided Daniel with his will and testament when Sato finally forced his hand into fighting. Either Miyagi thought there was a likely possibility he would lose; or didn't have any intention of fighting Sato back and was prepared to willingly die in that fight.
@@StygianWolf 1. I think Sato had been trying his whole life to break that piece of wood but he was never able to as it was almost impossible.
2. In fights there are PROBABILITY SCALES. Note that if Sato wins he would almost certainly kill Miyagi and Miyagi knew this. I will make up numbers just to make a point and I ADMIT that those numbers might not be accurate. If 2 fighters are a perfectly even match its 50, 50 with the total always being 100. But let's say that Miyagi has 84, 16 advantage. That is HUGE compared to an even match but it means Sato has almost a one in six chance of winning so it would be almost as dangerous for Miyagi as Russian Roulette. IF the scale was 90,10 in favor of Miyagi then he has a one in ten chance of death. That is A LOT WHEN ITS DEATH. If I gave you a 10 sided die and told you that if you roll a 4 you die you would probably write your will. I think Miyagi definitely had the advantage but it was not the kind of advantage he had against Kreese and Silver which was probably something like 99,1 or 99.5, 0.5 as he totally outmatched them. Hell even if he outmatched Sato 95, 5 that is still a one in 20 chance of death, which is enough to be worth writing a will just in case.
3. Consider this: Had the script writers decided that they would have their fight Miyagi would HAVE to win because no way would Sato spare him and the writers wanted the character and actor to do 2 more movies which he did so the writers would have to keep him alive hence he would have to win.
Kinda Similar When Robby both calling Johnny or Daniel that 😯
Sato's Limo Is *STILL* "Pimpin'" after All These Years!
The karate kid and blood In blood out.... The '80s produced some top notch movies man!

Sad that we couldn't see Sato actually fighting. He's basically the second best fighter in the Miyagiverse.
All those villagers were so lucky they were gonna see 2 Legends Crash
If someone in the village was thinking, they could have easily put this fight on Pay Per View and it would have blown away any Wrestlemania revenue back then.
6:08 loved the start of this when they walk up to myagi and daniel it’s the darker parallel of them both
I actually wished that they fought each other because that would have been a epic fight but i still know mr miyagi would have won
Pat wasn't in good health, and his stunt double looked nothing like him, which is why most of Miyagi's fight scenes are either short and simple. I think the directors did want a scuffle to be broken up, but couldn't get any footage they liked. Also, I think Miyagi's eyes told the story better than a fight would have anyway.
This is called Karate Kid not Karate Elder
For those that don't know about the banners, from reddit post ZantetsukenOne:
Banner on far right says, "karate musente" (空手無先手) which is directly translated as, "karate no first punch" but more naturally translated means what Mr. Miyagi said: "Karate is for defense". Banner on the left says, "senseigoshin (先正其心) which means, "First (sen), have a sound mind (seigoshin)."
Rule #1 (空手無先手) was one of 20 tenets of Shotokan Karate. It actually means "Karate DON'T strike first."
That is also the rule of Eagle Fang. We don't strike first.
We pre-strike.
It quit before we could see his father pull their hands together above his chest just before he passed away and Sato jerk his hand away! THANKS FOR THE MEMORY
Crazy to think that Ralph is older than Pat in this scene
What? Explain that....
@@shaunstegallify Ralph today is older than Miyagi was in this scene
@@g2_655 lmao not what I meant at all
@@Rocket-hp8ts Oh shit, sorry about that.
Many repeated comments saying Daniel older than Terry Silver in real life...I think his trying to be funny by saying Daniel older than miyagi
Sato(Danny Kamekona) was great in this film.Sad he passed away so young(age 60) in 1996.Did well in the origanal Hawaii 5-0 series too.
Miyagi should have said, wait, how about I stand in front of your car window
I like how miyagi always practicing karate in his bage dicki pants. Through all the movies. 😂😂😂😂
6:58 Miyagi like "I don't sweat you."
Paulie!
This was a treat to re-watch this scene of the village and people there. It's a time travel movie. 1980 Okinawa Japan.
I lived in between Main Land Japan (Iwakuni, Yokosuka, Atsugi, Tokyo) & Okinawa (Naha & Shuri) for 21 years. I returned to Okinawa in 2019 (after being away for 13 years), and the majority of the elders I knew passed away, but I also knew their children, so the connection was still there. I now speak w/them weekly & plan to return in 2022 (hopefully COVID-19 will be under control by then). Okinawa is BEAUTIFUL, but pollution coming from U.S Bases, Japan, S. Korea & China has made it difficult to maintain its cleanliness. However, Okinawa has done a great job at keeping clean regardless.
man I love the eye contact miyagi had on sato before sato walked off
This trilogy deserves to be up there with Lord of the Rings
Randall said it best.... Theres only 1 Trilogy and it AINT "Of the Rings"....
"Mr Shimokawa! What brings you to the Jiggly Room?"
"Quite honestly the Jiggly!"
I loved the movie. However, I have some problems with it. I spent two years in Okinawa while in the Marines, and as a history buff I spent a lot of my off duty time travelling the island to see the historical sights from WWII. I also lived off base in Kin Ville outside of Camp Hansen with an Okinawan girl named Kako. She was not only a wonderful girl and a fine companion but also a marvelous tour guide! She took me to places of great interest that most G.I.s on the island never even knew existed. She also introduced me to her parents and I became close with her father, who had been a Japanese soldier during the war. There were times when we went to visit her parents that her father would take me out to authentic Okinawan "clubs" (for lack of a better word) that were "off limits", so to speak, to foreigners. I was only welcomed because I was with him. The point is that I know Okinawa like the back of my hand, and the representation of the island in this movie is, shall we say, farcical to say the least.
Three years at Kadena for me. And yeah, they certainly show this village as being backwards/far behind the times. My family and I explored the island often, most every free weekend, and got to see some incredible sights as well as some terribly sad ones thanks to the war. It is on my bucket list to revisit Okinawa, which, even in the 1980s when I was stationed there, was as western as any place I served. Certainly, they'd have been well aware and well prepared for the typhoon depicted in the movie. Glad you got to experience the true Okinawa. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to have the full experience, but what I we did get to see was incredible.
Oddly enough, we'd get pictures developed and my wife, who was a civilian employee that worked for the Army Corps of Engineers on the island, would come to work and show what we saw to her Japanese counterparts. She was consistently amazed that the ladies would ask her where we had gone and taken the beautiful pictures, only to be told it was some place or another on the island. To which the ladies would respond that there's no place that beautiful on Okinawa. SMH. How we overlook the beauty in our own backyard is beyond me.
They didn’t even film this in Okinawa. This is Hawaii!
this is great how they all spoke english so Daniel San could understand...
Beating chozen was Daniel biggest victory
"I not be there..." - Classic ^^
Sato is like a yakuza boss!!
Such an underrated sequel
At 6:56 I think Sato was about to use silver bullet.
Yup.
Mr. Miyagi wants all the smoke.........didn't even flinch.
There is some truth to this story. Two Men fight over a one beautiful woman they both loved.
6:57 I would’ve taken chozen
And neither one ended up with her.
@@kodesh1674 your hilarious 😂
that also happen in the movie two daniel and johnney never won the girl.
This is a Hollywood movie, so there's no truth in this.
Of course Miyagi wasn't scared of Sato. Miyagi fought in the Sekai Taikai and killed his opponent.
Sato was half dead and crushed under a beam with a typhoon raging and he was still trash talking Miyagi...
It shows how much his hate had clouded his mind that he actually thought Miyagi was there to kill him when in fact Miyagi was RESCUING him. If this franchise was ever expanded with books and novels like Star Wars or Star Trek it would be neat to have another appearance of Sato in book form.
It would be fun to watch Mr. Miyagi talk with a thick Boston accent throughout the entire movie :D
6:19 dennis will take care of your training ?
