I rate this movie a rating of 4 & 1/2 out of 5.Morita was born on June 28, 1932, in Isleton, California to Japanese immigrant parents. This is a favorite of mine not only for its exotic locale, but also for some truly dynamic storytelling with established characters. This is a sequel that expands on the original by adding details to the story that compliments the established mythology which illuminates certain motivations behind past events. 1 on the music charts in the United States. Bill Conti gives another great score as he did in the original film, but it is Peter Cetera’s Glory of Love that really drives the ardent love theme of this entry and was rewarded with an Academy Award nomination for Best Song as well as hitting No. Robert Mark Kamen’s script uses the same beats as his script for the first movie, but mines the richness of the cultural settings of the new surroundings to make this installment a unique experience. Avildsen is able direct this motion picture with the same sense of purpose that he had with the first one so it becomes a seamless transition from one to the next. Noriyuki ‘Pat’ Morita & Ralph Macchio are able to expand on their characters’ farther/son relationship thanks in part to the performances of Nobu McCarthy & Tamlyn Tomita as their romantic leads in a way that gives the film more depth. This film is also the one most focused on romantic relationships as it shows Miyagi rekindling a love he thought was lost as well as Daniel discovering that there are other fish in the sea with his new love interest. The Karate Kid Part II is the film that cemented the franchise as a cultural phenomenon as it sheds light on the tumultuous past of Miyagi and why he immigrated to America.
