"The Karate Kid Part II marked the beginning of the decline in quality and popularity of the 'Karate Kid' saga since its first sequel, but it was undoubtedly the best of all the films due to its originality. The great success of The Karate Kid Part II was to move the action away from California and Okinawa, which allowed for a greater emphasis on Mr. Miyagi's personal story and provided a glimpse of traditional Japanese culture (although it was actually filmed in Hawaii) without falling into blatant exoticism - although it is corny. It is an acceptable martial arts drama, more recommended for fans of the first part who want to see how the story continues."
