Starring Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Pat Morita as his trainer and mentor Mr. Miyagi, the series eventually led to wildly popular Netflix series Cobra Kai - also starring Daniel's rival, Johnny Lawrence played by William Zabka.
    Video edited by Mike Matei.

    To me, the second one's strength is in the human moments. The most resonating scene in the franchise comes from that film. Right after a truly pivotal moment, when Mr. Miyagi is in despair, Daniel delivers a great monologue where he provides much needed comfort that feels truly genuine. I still think about that scene in times of grief.

    Of the Karate Kid Trilogy, (Not including the Next Karate Kid movie, the remake with Jayden Smith, or the Cobra Kai TV Show,) I personally say that Karate Kid II is my overall favorite.
    Sidenote; I think the AVGN should review the other Karate Kid movies and shows.

    I always liked number 3 the most because of how entertaining Silver was. It’s frightening how he got so much joy from mentally torturing a teenager. The movie has a good lesson about how dangerous it can be to put your trust in the wrong mentor, which isn’t a theme that is covered much in films.

    Cobra Kai (the show) is clearly in love with the third karate kid movie the most.
    I had a feeling at the end of season 5, that we reached a huge high with the series, and there wasn't much more to do, hence season 6 is gonna be the last

  • @Lesley_RedRhody

    Gotta disagree wholeheartedly with Past James regarding _The Karate Kid’s_ Soundtrack! Don’t get me wrong: I love a lot of the same music he does, but I’ll always crank my volume every time I hear Cruel Summer by Bananarama!
    Also I was surprised he mistook Jessica in Part III- which was definitely the weakest, in my opinion- for Daniel’s girlfriend.
    Daniel was still with Kumiko. She was merely written out of the story by exposition: Kumiko wanted to dance ballet, as she told Daniel this in Part II, and was finally able to attend a school, which was previously unavailable in Okinawa.

    I like this trilogy because there is no "monster-inflation". After three movies Daniel still kind of sucks at karate. That is rare. They do not have to dump 1000 Aliens on him or make the next terminator 10 times more lethal than the prior.

    The thing I hated most about #3 was that Daniel broke up with Kumiko (and off screen) from #2. That's the one I wanted him to end up with. In my head canon, he moved to Okinawa.

    • @UltimateGamerCC
      @UltimateGamerCC Рік тому +3

      well the thing is Daniel-san cant just move to Japan, he went with Mr. Miyagi to help take care of some old business, though they probably vowed to get together again once they were fully adults, as moving to/living in Japan is expensive to say the least.

    • @Lesley_RedRhody
      @Lesley_RedRhody Рік тому +3

      @@UltimateGamerCC Yeah. Daniel never said he and Kumiko broke up. She longed to be a ballet dancer and finally was able to attend a school (that previously didn’t exist) in Okinawa.
      Also, I was surprised that an absolute movie buff like _Past James_ 🤣 made the same mistake that a lot of people do by assuming that Jessica was Daniel’s girlfriend.
      It was established that the two were friends and were both in relationships, Daniel obviously being with Kumiko.
      That said, I still don’t like the third or, for that matter, the fourth films. I and II, however, will always hold special places in my heart.

    • @joshua2814
      @joshua2814 Рік тому +2

      @@UltimateGamerCC Totally true and honestly it's more what I would want than what's realistic for Daniel. Daniel could probably afford to live in that Okinawan fishing village, but in #3 he says she moved to Tokyo and joined a dance troupe. I haven't seen Cobra Kai, to hear how they wrapped up her character. As traditional as she was, though, it should've been hard for her to break ties with a boy she served the tea ceremony.

    Interesting that James is not bothered at all by the lack of language barrier in Karate Kid II. Chōzen and Kumiko speak fluent English to Daniel, even though that's pretty much impossible. So realistically, their interactions with him could not happen at all.

    In the movie of TMNT 2: The Secret of the Ooze in 1991, We see Michelangelo was being told to be quiet by Raphael while saying “Wax on, Wax off”.
    So I imagine that he makes a shitty smirk on his face while he was looking at Raphael for a bit or so and will be saying to him by going, “No”, I will not mouth off. I am going to say, “wax on” and “wax off” again. If you don’t like it, Oh well, So wax on, wax on.” as he says wax on and off again at the tables.
