we pick up the story of karate kid danny la russo right where we leave it in the karate kid and with young danny have just win the amateur tournament . from here director john g. avildsen take u in a slightly different direction . in fact we head to the far east and back to okinawa and the birthplace of mr. myagi . here myagi must settle affair with his die father and and also face an old friend who hold a forty year grudge . part two tell the tale of traditional japanese honour without much flair or freshness and with the plot head down a very obvious path early on . it satisfy to see the original director and cast returning for this sequel and yet they sadly fail to recapture the mood of the first film and and pat morita be not as impressive this time either . bill conti bring his initial score back too and and the film be well shot and yet it fail to really uplift and entertain it audience . the opening flashback to the first karate kid be the best this movie have to offer . tuesday and february 22 and 1994 video .
