The Karate Kid part 3 fails on many levels. The first movie had an innocence to it. Ater that movie, the innocence was lost. Ralph Macchio looks too old for this film. He's a talented actor but when you're 30 something , there's only so much that make-up can hide. The obsession that the old sensai from Karate Kid part 1 and the millionaire had with Daniel's title was disturbing. I also doubt that he went to Vietnam because he looked like he was in his late 20's. They should have switched roles...the milloinaire could pass for the karate kid and Ralph Macchio (with a little makeup) could have passed for a middle aged Vietnam vet.The plot is predictable as well...if you're paying attention, you'll have an idea of what's going to happen. I'd take a pass on buying this film. The Karate Kid part 1 is much more worthwhile. It's simple, poetic, and inspiring.
