Listen, The Karate Kid Part II is extremely predictable at every turn, but, for all that, this is a fairly enjoyable orientalist fantasy. Pat Morita is excellent as always, and Yuji Okumoto makes for a very, very good looking villain. It is also pretty funny to see all of these Japanese-American Angeleno actors playing Japanese characters who allegedly barely speak English.
P.S. I didn't realize just how young Ralph Macchio looks in these movies. He is a baby child!
