Did You Know?
Trivia:
The opening scenes (Daniel in the shower, and the confrontation in the parking lot with Kreese) were in the script for
The Karate Kid but contrary to urban legend never filmed. They were shot specifically for
The Karate Kid, Part II.
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers):
When the young Air Force man is giving Mr Miyagi and Daniel directions to his village in Okinawa, he asks the "Sarge" where it is. The sergeant then replies, "You are standing on it corporal." There are no corporals in the Air Force, and his rank was actually an Airman First Class (E-3) with two stripes. The correct response from the sergeant should have been, "You are standing on it airman."

User Review
Wonderful childhood memories
Rating:
I can't tell you how good it made me feel to recapture the joy I first
experienced in the theater. I was 12 years old when this came out. The
story and plot are simple, and the lessons are very clear. They
definitely
don't make films like this nowadays. Memories of me sitting in the
theater
alongside my grandmother, eating loads of buttery popcorn, and telling her
about all the good scenes (she couldn't see well)
I have seen this movie over 200 times, and never get tired of it. I
recommend viewing both The Karate Kid, and the sequel to at least get the
full effect.
Awesome 80's flick, and one I'm proud to own. Five stars.
