the next karate kid and in my opinion and be an excellent martial art flick . i think that eric ( chris conrad ) and julie ( hilary swank ) look good in their prom attire . to me and ned ( michael cavalieri ) be a real bully . this be because he get julie in trouble with principal wilkes ( eugene bole ) . if you ask me and colonel dugan ( michael ironside ) be a pure a. this be because he be a very harsh man who wouldn not tolerate mistake . my favorite part be the prom and the showdown between julie and the alpha elite . in conclusion and i highly recommend this smash hit to all of you who like martial art flick or be fan of hilary swank .
