neutral · AI labelView post →The first five minutes of “The Karate Kid Part II” are a recap of the first movie — not just dialogue like “Hey it sure was crazy when [etc]” but footage from the first movie, like Previouslies. This is the kind of storytelling efficiency that lets you get right back to cocaine

It was originally planned as the ending for the first film, although it was not shot until the second film's production began. (Wikipedia) 🖤

I’ve hit that downturn in the Bond films where they’re just ripping off whatever else is popular rather than setting the standard themselves, unfortunately. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

My parents were shocked when I chose to see KKII over Aliens, but I don't think I can ever articulate what an eye-opener KKII was to 11 year-old me

neutral · AI labelView post →Here's the wildest part: Cetera originally wrote Glory of Love for Rocky IV. Stallone's team passed on it. Too soft for a boxing movie, apparently. Weeks later, The Karate Kid Part II scooped it up. Rocky's loss became one of the most iconic movie themes of the '80s.

neutral · AI labelView post →2025 Media Thread Begins Here: 1) The Karate Kid Part II Having finished Part 1 recently, I wanted to watch this and Part 3. And Part 2 is pretty good. Now, the script isn't as tight as the first movie's, and honestly the stakes seem a bit less grounded and more fantastical than the first movie's...
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm only 15 minutes into The Karate Kid Part II but I'm already finding it a little odd they wrote out both Daniel's girlfriend and his mum, who's apparently fine for her son living with an old handyman that he's only properly known for a few months, who then immediately flies him out to Okinawa.

neutral · AI labelView post →Also, since my dad kicked off, this scene absolutely destroys me. If even just for how it advances (and in this moment, flips) Daniel and Miyagi’s relationship, I’ll always argue that The Karate Kid Part II is secretly one of the best sequels ever made.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Karate Kid Part II - It's hard to really compare and contrast this with the first one to say which one I prefer honestly. The story of the first movie is probably tighter, but it also takes a bit to get going. This movie on the other hand feels much better paced.
