Fun fact. The opening of this movie was actually a deleted scene from the 1st movie that they put back into the sequel

@ArtofOneDojo 3 жыл бұрын

Not quite a deleted scene...it WAS intended originally for the first film, but when they were filming it they felt the energy was better to end on the tournament so they didn't even film that parking lot scene. When they started production on Karate Kid 2, they decided that would be a good scene to open with and it was filmed then. So it was originally WRITTEN for the first movie, but the scene wasn't filmed until they filmed the second one :)

16:40 What he's doing is known in the series as The "Drum Technique." Miyagi explained to him that it's philosophy is "Best way to avoid punch, don't be there." The technique itself was initially meant to be an evasive defense. The idea that you can dodge and block the incoming punch. However Daniel asks Miyagi if it was possible to work a counter punch into the technique. Which he spent most of his training trying to figure out. What he's doing is dodging each punch Chozen is throwing at him, while using the raised arm to go for a roundhouse punch. Basically blocking, dodging and hitting back all at once. It wasn't shown properly in the movie, but the spin-off series "Cobra Kai." corrected that by showing the original defensive move.

Interesting; I spent a year in Okinawa 82-83, what I recall being portrayed in this film was far from accurate. The rustic farming villages for instance; I was able to get out and about while there, never saw anything like that. They looked like that maybe 50 years prior to my time there. I thought it was more a Hollywood concept version of something inspired by 1930s film reels.

The Obon scene uses a few people I know. The dance "Yuiyo" is one that is done from time to time at Senshin Temple in Los Angeles; the filmmakers saw the dance being practiced in downtown LA and asked them to do the dance in that scene. The man speaking in the beginning is Mas Kodani, the now-retired head priest of the temple; the guy drumming the taiko is Johnny Mori, one of the founding members of Kinnara Taiko, Senshin's taiko group, and a big name in Taiko drumming on the West Coast. Every time KK2 comes on I watch this scene and get nostalgic.

A lot of the people dancing are also members of Senshin (I used to be one). Another fun fact, Senshin was known as the “ghetto” temple in LA because it’s off Normandie and Expostion, a very hood place in the 80-90s. It’s also the only temple that has a traditional Obon Odori, no carnie games or bingo. After the dance, they have the people go through the temple and then light one of 1000 candles on a series of long tables before heading into another building for noodles (usually somen) and a taiko show. Johnny Mori is also a member of LA Jazz group Hiroshima, comprised of Japanese Americans, including Nobuo (who sings the female part of the song in the movie)

I notice that when I saw this movie the immediate similarity to Kung Fu. Miyagi Family Karate from Okinawa is Loosely based on the legend a Okinawan who is blown off course and lands in China and learns white crane and then returns to Okinawa. That drum is supposed to simulate the whipping movements of Chinese arms and Fists. Like a iron ball being whipped by a chain.

I am Japanese. Mr. Miyagi's model is Seikichi Toguchi, a master of Goju-ryu karate.

In all honesty. I love the second the most. I know it is very cheesey dramatic and so on, but thanks in my opinion most to Pat Moriarty, and the script it wins so much. Daniel grows closer to a Mr miyagi like persona helps his sensei, comfort him does a lot on his own. And miyagis lines Daniel: can you do that ( after seeing a poster with miyagis friend sato splitting a tree in half) miyagi response: don't know, never been attacked by a tree. Classic and good point. Or when miyagi has shown Daniel the drum technic and Daniel has had a go which he fails at, while miyagi is telling him about his love story, Daniel tries again this time with a hook and nearly takes a piece of himself. Daniel San you alright. Yeah sorry that was stupid. Miyagis father said same thing when it happened to miyagi, father was right, was stupid. I'm not going to quote the hole movie but felt like putting these on to. Miyagi tells Daniel about how the girl he love was betrothed to his best friend and Miyagi made a public statement making his challenging him so he ran. And Daniel ask why did he not fight for his love. " Daniel San never put passion before principles, even if win, you still lose. Or when they fly there and Daniel ask about the challenge fight, who would be the referee No referee. How do you deside who won? The one who dead, doesn't. Calm collected but with a ton of weight behind it.

Sidekicks thou... It's so, so bad even Chuck Norris doesn't help it. It a copy of Karate Kid except it's dull and depressing and late like 5 years. Next Karate Kid should have at least some presence of Daniel- I hate continuations that are 99% unrelated. Newest version is a disgrace to Jackie Chan and to Karate. For years Hollywood, out of ignorance, mixed asian culture like karate/kungfu and with that movie they officially did not give crap anymore.

@@saileshnaidu8102 Agreed.

When you point out inaccuracies or mistakes you do so in a thoughtful and respectful way. I always loved the Karate Kid series and I am glad you enjoyed the movie for what it is.

The Karate Kid Part II is the definitive Karate Kid film. Mr. Miyagi and Daniel's father-son relationship grows deeper and more sacred; Mr. Miyagi's history and Miyagi Do Karate is explored and revealed; Daniel falls in love with a terrific young woman who is without question his greatest love; and Daniel battles a budding Karate master in a thrilling climax. Also, Daniel comforting Mr. Miyagi on the beach after Mr. Miyagi's father dies is the most beautiful scene in the trilogy and one of the most beautiful in film history. The music and cinematography is beautiful and captivating. Finally, the ending is just perfect in every way. The embrace between Daniel and Kumiko and the way Mr. Miyagi looks at Daniel with such love and prides and gives him that wink...it doesn't get better.

Karate Kid 2 is so much more than just a movie to me. I lived in Okinawa from 1974-1978 (age 6-10), and I was so honored and blessed to have studied Shorin-Ryu Masturma Orthodox Karate. I started out in one of the classes that were held on base. After being promoted from White belt to 5th degree Green, I was one of two students from our class by Supreme Instructor, Sensei Fusei Kise, to come and learn directly from him at the main Dojo in Naha. It also meant getting to learn from Grand Master Hohan Soken, who at the time was the oldest living Karate Grand Master in the world. So, watching KK2 always brings back so many fond memories of living there and the love I have for the Okinawan people, and for the Japanese people as well.

Fun Fact: even though the movie was shot in Hawaii, they called in Okinawans who lived in Hawaii to play the extras! Karate Kid 2 is definitely my favorite of the films. It does everything a sequel should do, go to new and interesting locations, develop the characters further, introduce new characters, and raise the stakes. We get to know Mr. Miyagi and learn about his past, we find out why Daniel's father is gone and that develops his and Miyagi's friendship, the stakes are higher since going to the police really isn't an option, Chozen is in his twenties and that makes him more threatening, The romance between Daniel and Kumiko is well written, we learn a little bit about a different culture, and the fighting is more complex with a more intense climax with the storm and final fight. I love the Original, but I definitely think this one is a rare example of the sequel being as good, if not better then its predecessor.
