The Karate Kid Part II is a 1986 American martial arts drama film written by Robert Mark Kamen and directed by John G. Avildsen.

Shortly after his dojo's loss in the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament, a furious John Kreese attacks his student, Johnny Lawrence, in the parking lot.

Miyagi intervenes and passively incapacitates Kreese, then threatens to strike a deadly blow but instead tweaks his nose.

Six months later, Daniel visits Miyagi after his senior prom and explains that Ali has broken up with him in favor of a UCLA football player.

Miyagi receives a letter notifying him that his father is dying, prompting him to return to his home village on Okinawa Island.

She was arranged to marry his best friend Sato, son of the wealthiest man in the village and fellow karate student of his father.

Sato returns the next day with a work crew to help rebuild the village, asking Miyagi's forgiveness and handing over the deed.

During the celebration, a vengeful Chozen ziplines into the presentation and takes Kumiko hostage, demanding to fight Daniel to the death.

Miyagi, Sato, and the crowd respond by twisting den-den daikos in unison, inspiring Daniel to utilize the drum technique to defeat Chozen.

However, mirroring how Miyagi handled Kreese earlier, Daniel instead playfully tweaks Chozen's nose and drops him to the ground.

Also, Traci Toguchi, who is credited as "Girl Bell Ringer", is the child rescued by Daniel in the typhoon, and is later identified as "Yuna" in the Cobra Kai season three episode "Miyagi-Do".

Filmmakers selected a property in Oahu that was privately owned by a retired local physician who agreed to allow a portion of the land to be used in the film.

The website's critical consensus reads: "Like countless sequels, The Karate Kid Part II tries upping the stakes without straying too far from formula -- and suffers diminishing returns as a result".

[15] Audiences responded more positively; CinemaScore reported that filmgoers gave the film an average grade of "A-" on an A+ to F scale.

[16] The Los Angeles Times also gave the film a positive review, particularly praising Pat Morita's performance as Miyagi and calling the actor "the heart of the movie".

At the 1987 ASCAP Awards, Bill Conti won Top Box Office Films for the original music, which was released on United Artists Records.

There are also two bonus levels with digitized images from the movie: Miyagi catching flies with chopsticks and Daniel breaking an ice block.

The drum technique exercise shown in the movie is also featured as a challenge in which the gamer must dodge the swinging axe as many times as possible.
