Movie Description
In director John G. Avildsen's third installment of the popular KARATE KID series, the original villain returns to get his revenge against Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita) and Daniel (Ralph Macchio). Kreese (Martin Kove), the ex-marine whom Miyagi humbled with a few punches and kicks, has never forgotten the bitter taste of defeat. Bankrupt after the first tournament defeat, he's back with a particularly nasty friend and a new trainer--and he's aching to lure Miyagi and Daniel into the fight of their lives. When Daniel decides not to compete in the challenge, he becomes the target of numerous attacks by Kreese and his villainous friends, who will stop at nothing to win the title back. But when the relentless abuse becomes blackmail, Daniel goes against the sound advice of Miyagi and enters the competition, alienating his mentor. This rousing continuation of the adventures of Daniel and his teacher includes fast-paced karate sequences and an inspirational soundtrack, now synonymous with THE KARATE KID films.
