The Karate Kid, Part III (1989)

[Edgy MD]

Daniel and Miyagi come home from Okinawa (with neither of the women whose hearts they won and whose village they saved) and walk right into a revenge trap set up by Kreese, his rich karate buddy from the Vietnam days, and some guy named Mike Barnes.

sucked

[Edgy MD]

Really almost nothing to it. I figured I had to fill in the gap in my KK awareness, but now I'm blue and almost kind of angry that I watched.

[Vic Sage]

it was like the 3rd bad news bears sequel... high suckage quotient

[Edgy MD]

That's a pretty good analogy in that both made the second ones seem better than they were.

Of course, Bad News Bears is the sort of high quality that the Karate Kid only occasionally sniffs.

SUBMITTED: Bad News Bears was a better movie (by far), but Karate Kid was the more culturally-iconic one.


KK3 is terrible. Like, "You put CINNAMON on this pizza?" terrible.

And yet, it stays on way too long if I'm channel surfing.
