You have to admit that song from Peter Cetera was good.
As for anything else, it was good to see it at a different setting and with a different storyline than just being involved in a tournament while dealing with bullies. Plus, Daniel's adversary in this one made the Cobra Kai guys look a lot more tame in comparison. It's still much better than the third film, although I didn't mind that film (I think maybe it was because of Thomas Ian Griffith's performance as Terry Silver).

It's been so long since I've actually watched the whole movie. What I remember most about it is having such a huge crush on Tamlyn Tomita who played the love interest Kumiko.

I saw it with my brother and a couple of his friends at the theater when it was released.
I enjoyed it.

They did the first girl wrong as hell They the way they buries Alie in the beginning was kind of odd. Daniel apparently got dumped at the prom by her as she ran off with a football player and wrecked his car? He did seem to get over it rather quickly. Biggest issue is the super serious “fight to the death” ends with a nose honk. And WTF is the drum punch exactly?

Karate Kid II is my favorite of the original films, followed by the first Karate Kid. I thought the girl was extremely cute, the adversary was really scary, and all the character building with Miyagi awesome.

Part II is the reason Part III gets a bad rap. III wasn't bad, but it was a letdown after II. II took the series in a different direction, and III picked up where the first one left off as if II didn't happen. If II and III had been switched, III would have a better reputation today, I think.

I just rewatched all the movies a few months ago before watching Cobra Kai, and it's probably my favorite in the series.

It's a fine movie but I agree, the burial of Ali was awful, and that's something they need to put right in Cobra Kai.
They should say that Daniel cheated on Ali and crashed his own car. He then made up the story about Ali and the football player to cover for himself. He's already shown douchey traits in Cobra Kai so that would be consistent with his character now.
He admits the truth when Elisabeth Shue inevitably makes her guest appearance on the show,

I know one thing, people can say what they want about III, which I never had a problem with, but it's still miles better than The Next Karate Kid.

It's no The Karate Kid III, I can tell you that. Both of them are certainly no The Next Karate Kid, that's for sure.

Karate Kid III is shit, but it does offer some more detail on the Cobra Kai.
