Mr. Myagi said it best about the MOH, there's a certain amount of guilt you carry being awarded MOH (never win the medal). You wear it for the heroes that never came home.
Isnt it funny how different physically Sato looks after his change of heart. When he comes to help rebuild the village and he is talking to Daniel and smiles, he looks like a different person. Anger can change how you look. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
much of this movie was filmed in Kane'ohe, on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i! fun fact: the little girl on the bell tower that Daniel saved grew up to become a Miss Hawaii (1995).... and, Danny Kamekona (Sato) was a childhood friend of my father. Kamekona was actually a very nice man. RIP.
The HIGHEST form of praise in Japanese culture is when a STUDENT teaches the MASTER.... It is a clear sign that, that Sensie has done his job VERY WELL and should be HONORED.. And for Sato, also being a STUDENT of Miyagi-Do himself to extend that praise to Mr Miyagi, really shows how much Sato has changed...
The black actor/ Navy guy. Was also in Top Gun as a pilot briefly with Tom Cruise. After Goose got killed. He also was on the Matlock tv series as a former Marine private investigator on that tv series with Andy Griffith.
I love this second film, it builds the connection between Miyagi and Daniel, it displays hope, love and family as being the correct reasons for self-defense fights. This is Miyagi’s story, and I love that they took a risk and gave it to him. Hope you two are well, love from Brooklyn.
We agree! It was such a pleasant surprise to see the sequel go in a completely different direction. It was definitely not what we expected but that’s exactly why it works. The sequel felt fresh and it definitely stands on its own two feet. Seeing the evolution of Mr Miyagi and Daniel is probably one of our favorite things. Thank you so much for watching, much love all the way to Brooklyn ❤️
Mr. Miyagi is the father that every kid deserves. I grew up with Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) in the 70's on a show called Happy Days and other appearances on television so this was really great to see him in a movie that featured his talents as an actor.
The actor you recognized (boy on the street who invited Danny to the club) is BD Wong. He played the geneticist in the Jurassic Park movies (particularly the first).
The black guy hitting the ice was the late Clarence Gilyard Jr., who played alongside Chuck Norris as Ranger Jimmy Trivette on the hit series "Walker, Texas Ranger".
17:10. Yes, filmed on Oahu. I lived there at the time they filmed the movie and could see the movie set from afar. My only regret was not visiting the set and meeting Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita..
You brought back a memory! I remember breaking the ice. I hadn’t thought about that game since it came out. The worst movie game I’ve ever played was Back to the Future on Nintendo. If you could even figure out how to skateboard you were in for a difficult game that wasn’t fun. I think it had the photo disappearing as a timer.
Part II is arguably the best movie of the trilogy but I have a lot of love for the over-the-top Part III. With every reaction we're getting closer to you guys watching Cobra Kai. I can't wait! 😃
If you go into part 3 knowing it's going to be super ridiculous, but with some good moments, it's such a great watch. As absurd as the movie gets, Mr. Miyagi manages to still have some really good moments, and Terry Silver is the best 80s villain ever heh.
I envy people like Daniel....he can just go across the world, to a culture he knows nothing about, trying his best to respect that culture, yet still being true to himself. I mean, he does not become overly cautious, or polite, or fake. He is still acting like himself. It's hard. People tend to try showing of the best side of themselves to others. People who are genuinely themselves in front of others is rare.
This was actually the only Karate Kid movie I had access to for years. And I don't regret it. The first film is such a great counter part to this film. Miyagi gets to be there for Daniel in the first, and Daniel gets to do the same in part 2. We get to see Okinawa and some of Miyagi's backstory which is amazing. This is hands down one of the reasons I fell in love with the Japanese culture. The score in this is SOOOOOO good!! I love the traditional sound they gave it. The whole movie knows exactly how to pull on your heart strings and when. And the last fight is RIDONKULOUS!!! The reveal of the whole village having their drums and playing them to rally Daniel is chilling. I absolutely LOVE this movie!
just in case no one answered, the guy on the street inviting them to the dance was BD Wong. The recurring scientist in all of the Jurassic Park movies as well as numerous other roles.
Ya'll are my favorite reactors. An awesome breakdown of the scenes. The sunset scene, with Miyagi and Daniel after Miyagi's Father passed, moves me to tears everytime.
28:48 In college I had a class in raku pottery, we made everything needed for a tea ceremony. My teacher had come straight from Osaka. On the last day of class we had a tea ceremony using the teapots and bowls we made. There are very specific movements and steps you have to take.
Thanks to you guys, I finally watched the second and third movies to prepare for your reactions. I’m glad I did, it helped me understand Cobra Kai characters much more. I loved this one! I’ll be honest, I wasn’t a huge fan of the third movie BUT it’s still necessary to watch for Cobra Kai. And it did have some good moments! So I look forward to watching that with you guys. I’m happy you enjoyed this so much!!
Such a good sequel! What i love about this series is that the movie puts you in the shoes of a student and just teaches lessons applyable to life. Also, there's something about seeing a stoic man cry that just hits hard!!
You guys do such a nice job of watching and feeling a movie. Unlike a lot of reactors who can't help themselves by joking, smirking, and generally viewing a movie from their wise pulpits, you two really do a nice job of appreciating positive thinga about the films you do. Really, really nice. I hope you will do the next one when you have time.
Part 3 is a must watch, even though it isn't as good but it does mean you can fully get Kabra Kai and catch up with all (ALL) the characters from the original 3 movies.
17:55 The actor you noticed is the sensational BD Wong, who is literally in almost everything nowadays, portraying every type of role you can think off and great at it.
He sticks out like a sore thumb in this movie tho as his accent always seems completely wrong... It's not his fault. Most likely it's mine because I know he's American, and really has no accent in anything else. He's always good in the things I see him in.
Yall missed what I think is the turning point at the end. When Mr Miyagi broke the log off of Sato, he said "I got you old friend" when he helped him stand up. That one little moment was a foreshadow of them putting the past behind them. Such a powerful moment.
This made my day, I love the Karate Kid movies! And much as I love the first one, I think they did an even better job with this. Also really love how you two have an appreciation for the slower-paced scenes. You see the value in it while a lot of people these days don’t have the attention span for it anymore, but it adds so much to the movie. Very much looking forward to the third movie of you do it!
September is the middle typhoon (hurricane) season, Okinawa gets a lot of them. They filmed a lot on location here in Hawaii, it was a big deal having a Hollywood movie being filmed with local people working and acting. Sato, Danny Kamekona is not really Japanese/Okinawan. Hope you can visit Japan and Okinawa or Hawaii soon. Pat Morita is from the mainland (continent) but we consider him to be a local here in Hawaii. Thanks for reliving the memories from childhood.
In the first karate kid, Mr myagi and Daniel’s relationship was more of a master student relationship, in this one at the end it’s more of a father son relationship..
I loved these movies as a kid. I hope you guys go onto karate kid 3, the next karate kid, and cobra kai. There's even an animated series that came out in the 80's.
Great reaction you two.... This was a good follow up to the 1st film....The song 'The Glory Of Love' was such a huge hit on the pop charts back in 1986 because of this movie. 😎👍
Peter Cetera Who sang the movie/love Theme Glory Of Love had a number of hits songs from, I think from the mid to late 70’s throughout the 1980s. He first a lead vocalist for the group Chicago and then went on to have a very successful solo career. Don’t know if you were already familiar the singer behind the Glory Of love or not but definitely was mentioned in another comment a great musical hit. If you haven’t seen it the original music video for Glory Of Love is very good as is special Daniel And Kumiko tribute- Glory Of Love music video. The Karate Kid franchise sequels did a great job as follow ups to the original.
I love. And I can’t say it with my emphasis. But I LOVE y’all’s reactions. That fist bump when you both said mr miyagi is amazing was the best. Y’all have the best chemistry. I’m 22. And I grew up with these movies. When I was 10 I met Ralph Maccio (Daniel) and I have a picture with him and group of my friends and have a Karate Kid 2 movie case signed from him. And I also have the classic karate kid bandana tattooed on my arm. Can’t wait for you guys to get to 3 even tho it’s the least loved. And hopefully y’all get to cobra Kai too ❤️❤️❤️
Aww man! Thank you so much for showing us some love! ❤️ it means the world 😄 that is awesome! You got to meet Ralph Maccio and get the case signed! Can’t wait to check out the third one. We really enjoyed these two
KK3 is the least popular and revered out of the three - but you MUST watch ALL three if you're you're going to eventually watch Cobra Kai. After 5 seasons - it is an absolute roller coaster of emotions - by if you stick with it - eventually the payoffs are really great - and there are MANY shocks and surprises along the way. They do an amazing job of intertwining the movies in with the show - without overdoing it. It's absolutely worth the watch. Cheers from Canada! :)
I Love the scene where Miyagi saves Sato.... Because Number one that 2x4 was much heavier than the block of wood 🪵 you saw earlier where sato was practicing on... And the fact that MIYAGI BROKE THAT..... Scared Sato straight...
i lived on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa when i was a kid. This movie came out a few years after i got back to the States. When the Airman in the movie said "Kadena air field" I was like "I know where that is!" Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) was an awesome person IRL too. #TillValhalla Miyagi-san
That "same log for years" is because it was something Sato & Miyagi found when they were kids. Even in all his anger Sato couldn't bring himself to destroy a reminder of his past friendship
Definitely my favorite of the Karate Kid movies i love Sato's redemption story, which i feel like its not something you typically see with villains that much even today but even back then it was practically unheard of
On the list of the perfect sequel, you will always see movies like: The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens 2, The Terminator 2, and The Godfather 2.. Karate Kid 2 is definitely another film that belongs as it is at least as good...if not better than the original.
So happy that you both appreciated this film. I have a strong attachment to the first 2 films and it's so refreshing to see a young couple like yourselves react to it and have the same kind of love for it. Cheers!
Fantastic reaction as always guys!! The last of the trilogy is also great! Skip the 4th movie, which isn't part of the original story and is also bad. As many recommend, jump from the 3rd to "Cobra Kai". A hug from Argentina!! ❤️
@@hassansulaiman3848 He is the weakest of the 3, but I personally have a guilty pleasure watching it regardless. Terry Silver is the most intimidating of the Villains in Karate Kid/Cobra Kai sagas.
They shot this in Hawaii. They had me fooled too. I was in the Marines in the 80's. And went to Okinawa, Japan two or three times. I traveled so much in six years. It's a blur almost out of six years. I spent nine months in the US. I was also Hawaii at Pearl Harbor and Kaneohe Naval Air Station. The village in Okinawa this was modeled looked exactly like this one. My second deployment to Okinawa. I was married my wife and I lived off base there. I was a Military Policeman. At the end of my career I was in Hawaii. We were attached to the HPD there too at times. We'd patrol the streets to keep military personal mainly out of trouble. Ironically in 1987 we had a call of a man being drunk on the street. To our surprise it was Pat Morita aka Arnold from Happy Days/ Mr. Miyagi. He was a bit tipsy, he told us it was filmed in Hawaii. He lived there, had a club I believe. Or at least did stand up there. But sadly he did have a drinking problem. My partner laughed and told him. His partner, meaning me was from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Where Happy Days took place but from the mid 1950's to mid 1960's. Ralph Macchio was actually 21/22 when they filmed the Karate Kid. By the time it premiered he was a few months shy of being 23. William Zabka aka Johnny Lawrence the punk bully kid was 18. Zabka never did any martial arts. Until the movie started filming. He stayed in Martial Arts after filming the movie in real life. John Kreece Cobra Kai's bad sensei aka Martin Kove in real life also isa black belt in Okinawan Karate. He was 37 years old when filming the Karate Kid.
First time I ever recognized the same dude that you did even though I've seen this movie several times!! He was the priest/father in OZ, the prison show. That's where I recognized him from at least.
Guys, tell me, how does it feel to be amongst the best reactors online? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Look, you need to watch the third movie in this franchise (KK3) and then jump on to Cobra Kai.
Would recommend the third instalment for sure eventhough the second is my personal favourite in the franchise. Okinawa is such an amazing backdrop for this movie and was great to explore Mr Miyagis back story
Even though it says it's 6 months later, it's longer than that. Daniel is graduating from High school, which is why he can leave to go to Okinawa and Alli is starting a relationship with someone else in college.
I love ya'lls' reactions. I'm sure you have plans for the next few videos, but I really really hope ya'll watch As Good As It Gets at some point. This reaction was so great! Rhanks for doing it ❤
Thank you so much for your support and kind words, it truly means the world!! We have it on our list and will try to get to it asap!! Thank you again!!
the young man who invited them to the dance is played by BD Wong. he played the role of George Huang in the tv series Law and Order SVU and also played the role of Howard Weinstein in the Father Of The Bride film franchise
The US actually has many military bases in Okinawa IRL to this day but it started back in WW2. There are several american restaurants and stuff there. Also, this movie is mostly shot in Hawaii. Just some trivia. Great reaction guys! /All the best from Sweden
17:56 That’s BD Wong, he was in Jurassic Park, Mr. Robot, Oz, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and more. 18:53 That’s Clarence Gilyard, he was in Top Gun and Die Hard among other things, he passed away last year.
Hitting a nail with one strike IS possible. It took me a few years, but I did manage to master it. Helped a lot when I worked construction. I didn't do it often, and certainly not in front of others, but it felt great being able to do it.
Hope you guys continue on with the over-the-top part 3 and the standalone part 4 to see the rest of the Miyagi run. They are all worth it for his performance alone and all a lot of fun.
Watched this in the theatre years ago and the audience erupted when Mr. Miami tweeked the guy’s nose. Now you know why Generation Xers often quote the Karate Kid movies.
The actor coming up to them when they are looking at the TV's is BD Wong, who has done a ton of American shows and even a few on Broadway - Law and Order, Oz, Jurassic Park, etc. This was his first movie role.
Definitely watch part 3 and The Next Karate Kid, and definitely check out the series Cobta Kai. In my opinion the series is just as good as the movies. Maybe even better.
What surprised me was that this was supposed to be the last movie. Looking back at it, it would have made a great end to the story. Perhaps 3 should have been 2. In any case, this is my favorite one. RIP Pat Morita. Miss that guy 6:29 Still believe in that, now and forever
Favorite KK movie! I mean, I love them all, but this one is special with its cinematography and music. I just discovered your channel tonight. I truly hope you guys are planning to go the distance with this series. The next movie is kinda silly, but I love it anyway. The TV show Cobra Kai is a MUST WATCH if you like these movies. Somehow they found a way to recapture the magic in it. I really hope to see it here on your channel.
This is such a classic. You need to react to all the Karate Kid movies and then go on to the Kobra Kai series, which continues Daniel’s life as an adult. This year will be the last season of the series which is excellent & full of surprises! Pat Morita aka Mr Myagi was on the 70s series Happy Days in The 70s. Sadly he passed in 2005. Thanks❤️
The first one was truly amazing, but this was my favorite by far! You MUST do Cobra Kai! Seeing things from Johnny's perspective is quite amazing and they did a great job writing it!
7:27 That's a long flight though. I flew from New York city to Tokyo and it was 22 hours in the air. I couldn't sleep on the plane either so I was really tired when we arrived.
I enjoyed watching this with you guys. I grew up on this one and the first and they’re both equally amazing to me. You guys reacting reminds me of the specific things that I love about it.
I sort of avoided watching this reaction... Because I hadn't seen the movie in many years. I just thought they were doing so much of a repeat of the first movie. In some ways, they did. But in others, not. Which really, is life..... And I was in a different psychological place myself the last time I saw it. I appreciated it much more this time around.... Oh, and that final move that Daniel did.... It's really just a way to develop a more powerful punch. Using more of your body instead of mostly your arms. And I just fell hell over heals over Daniel's love interest. She's so beautiful and has an elegance about her personality and love of her culture. Thank you again folks 🙏🏻
Mr miyagi breaking the log was a life and death situation,if you asked him how he would've answered with 'dont know first time ' the same way when he was asked after breaking the glass bottles... Different with Sato , he was practicing he wasn't trying to break the wood
"This say you brave, this say you lucky". Miyagi spitting facts. We need movies like this again.
We really do!
Mr. Myagi said it best about the MOH, there's a certain amount of guilt you carry being awarded MOH (never win the medal). You wear it for the heroes that never came home.
Isnt it funny how different physically Sato looks after his change of heart. When he comes to help rebuild the village and he is talking to Daniel and smiles, he looks like a different person. Anger can change how you look. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
much of this movie was filmed in Kane'ohe, on the island of O'ahu in Hawai'i! fun fact: the little girl on the bell tower that Daniel saved grew up to become a Miss Hawaii (1995).... and, Danny Kamekona (Sato) was a childhood friend of my father. Kamekona was actually a very nice man. RIP.
The HIGHEST form of praise in Japanese culture is when a STUDENT teaches the MASTER.... It is a clear sign that, that Sensie has done his job VERY WELL and should be HONORED.. And for Sato, also being a STUDENT of Miyagi-Do himself to extend that praise to Mr Miyagi, really shows how much Sato has changed...
Exactly. Sato's turnaround and proclaiming Daniel now is his teacher was a very, deep compliment and it was really cool to see.
Daniel learns even more from his experience in Okinawa. He learned about honor. That is the greatest lesson of all.
This opening scene was supposed to be the ending to the first movie. Luckly the director was smart enough to save it.
The black actor/ Navy guy. Was also in Top Gun as a pilot briefly with Tom Cruise. After Goose got killed. He also was on the Matlock tv series as a former Marine private investigator on that tv series with Andy Griffith.

Yes, Yes.. you need to see Part 3 and then go into Cobra Kai series, so much of the 'original 3' movies come in to play in the series.
Definitely need to watch part 3 first, cobra kai is a long journey so it would definitely be a large project. Worth it though.
I agree a hundred percent
The Next Karate Kid isn't bad....plus William Zabka & Ralph Machio have said that Julie is canon
@@BigBWolf90 No, it's really bad.
The actor you knew was BD Wong. He’s in Jurassic Park and the Jurassic World Franchise. And he’s also in Law & Order SVU.
And he was also in the tv-show "Oz".
And the voice of Shang in Mulan
I remember having the Karate Kid game on Nintendo where you have to break the ice and use the drum technique! Yes I'm old!
That was a thing? Ahh man hopefully someone has some gameplay on YT 😃
Yes! I had the same game.

I showed these to my nieces, and after this one, the 12-year-old asked me, “so…what was Mr. Miyagi going to tell Daniel’s mom if he lost?” 😳🤣
OMG! But true! 🤣
Part II is arguably the best movie of the trilogy but I have a lot of love for the over-the-top Part III.
With every reaction we're getting closer to you guys watching Cobra Kai. I can't wait! 😃

Over the top?! More like way below the top. Only good thing about Part III is that it made The Next Karate Kid more watchable.

Thanks so much, we're so glad you enjoyed our reaction!! That song is such a great one, and we can only imagine the kind of hit it must have been!!
Yes I wasn’t born till 85 but Glory of Love (Peter Cetera) is one of my all time favorites & this movie definitely plays apart
Yup - it was #1 on the charts
I was 12 the year Glory of Love became a hit. Radio stations played it incessantly, but I didn't care. I loved it as much as I loved the movie! ❤
Peter Cetera Who sang the movie/love Theme Glory Of Love had a number of hits songs from, I think from the mid to late 70’s throughout the 1980s.

I Love the scene where Miyagi saves Sato.... Because Number one that 2x4 was much heavier than the block of wood 🪵 you saw earlier where sato was practicing on... And the fact that MIYAGI BROKE THAT..... Scared Sato straight...
Miyagi is one of my favorite characters ever! Miyagi forever!
i lived on Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa when i was a kid. This movie came out a few years after i got back to the States. When the Airman in the movie said "Kadena air field" I was like "I know where that is!" Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi) was an awesome person IRL too. #TillValhalla Miyagi-san
The music was done by Bill Conti. His work includes a bunch of stuff like Dynasty, For Your Eyes Only and his work on the Rocky films
One of the best finale's ever.
The first one is the classic, but the second one has always been my favorite 🤩
That "same log for years" is because it was something Sato & Miyagi found when they were kids. Even in all his anger Sato couldn't bring himself to destroy a reminder of his past friendship
The Karate Kid films are so awesome. I also always loved Miyagi's quotes growing up lol.
Definitely my favorite of the Karate Kid movies
i love Sato's redemption story, which i feel like its not something you typically see with villains that much even today but even back then it was practically unheard of
Ralph won Dancing with the Stars.
I also believe he was in his early 20s when he did the first movie
No way! Didn’t know that fun fact! 😃
@@OfficialMediaKnightspretty sure Ralph was 23 in the 1st film, so he'd be 25-ish in this one.
@@russellward4624he was 24 on this one
On the list of the perfect sequel, you will always see movies like: The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens 2, The Terminator 2, and The Godfather 2.. Karate Kid 2 is definitely another film that belongs as it is at least as good...if not better than the original.
So happy that you both appreciated this film. I have a strong attachment to the first 2 films and it's so refreshing to see a young couple like yourselves react to it and have the same kind of love for it. Cheers!
This one is my favorite. Great way to expand the charaters.
Awesome reaction guys. Waiting for your reaction Karate kid Part 3 and Part 4. Keep it coming soon plsss.
Fantastic reaction as always guys!! The last of the trilogy is also great! Skip the 4th movie, which isn't part of the original story and is also bad. As many recommend, jump from the 3rd to "Cobra Kai". A hug from Argentina!! ❤️
Karate Kid 1 &2 are absolute classics.
What about 3 😂
@@hassansulaiman3848 He is the weakest of the 3, but I personally have a guilty pleasure watching it regardless. Terry Silver is the most intimidating of the Villains in Karate Kid/Cobra Kai sagas.
This was one of the earliest movies I remember watching in the theater. I was 3 years old and my family lived in West Germany at the time.
They shot this in Hawaii. They had me fooled too. I was in the Marines in the 80's. And went to Okinawa, Japan two or three times. I traveled so much in six years. It's a blur almost out of six years. I spent nine months in the US. I was also Hawaii at Pearl Harbor and Kaneohe Naval Air Station. The village in Okinawa this was modeled looked exactly like this one. My second deployment to Okinawa. I was married my wife and I lived off base there. I was a Military Policeman. At the end of my career I was in Hawaii. We were attached to the HPD there too at times. We'd patrol the streets to keep military personal mainly out of trouble. Ironically in 1987 we had a call of a man being drunk on the street. To our surprise it was Pat Morita aka Arnold from Happy Days/ Mr. Miyagi. He was a bit tipsy, he told us it was filmed in Hawaii. He lived there, had a club I believe. Or at least did stand up there. But sadly he did have a drinking problem. My partner laughed and told him. His partner, meaning me was from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Where Happy Days took place but from the mid 1950's to mid 1960's. Ralph Macchio was actually 21/22 when they filmed the Karate Kid. By the time it premiered he was a few months shy of being 23. William Zabka aka Johnny Lawrence the punk bully kid was 18. Zabka never did any martial arts. Until the movie started filming. He stayed in Martial Arts after filming the movie in real life. John Kreece Cobra Kai's bad sensei aka Martin Kove in real life also isa black belt in Okinawan Karate. He was 37 years old when filming the Karate Kid.
First time I ever recognized the same dude that you did even though I've seen this movie several times!! He was the priest/father in OZ, the prison show. That's where I recognized him from at least.
Guys, tell me, how does it feel to be amongst the best reactors online? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Look, you need to watch the third movie in this franchise (KK3) and then jump on to Cobra Kai.
They would LOVE Cobra Kai, but yes, they need Karate Kid 3 to complete it.
Exactly!
I literally came here to say the same thing! 😅😊
Would recommend the third instalment for sure eventhough the second is my personal favourite in the franchise. Okinawa is such an amazing backdrop for this movie and was great to explore Mr Miyagis back story
Even though it says it's 6 months later, it's longer than that. Daniel is graduating from High school, which is why he can leave to go to Okinawa and Alli is starting a relationship with someone else in college.
I love ya'lls' reactions. I'm sure you have plans for the next few videos, but I really really hope ya'll watch As Good As It Gets at some point.
This reaction was so great! Rhanks for doing it ❤
Thank you so much for your support and kind words, it truly means the world!! We have it on our list and will try to get to it asap!!
Thank you again!!
the young man who invited them to the dance is played by BD Wong. he played the role of George Huang in the tv series Law and Order SVU and also played the role of Howard Weinstein in the Father Of The Bride film franchise
Beautiful video, you both definitely need to watch the 3rd one !
Such a Classic !!.. Amazing message and performances!!.. Pat Morita was nominated to the Oscars for Best Supporting Actor 🎭
The US actually has many military bases in Okinawa IRL to this day but it started back in WW2. There are several american restaurants and stuff there. Also, this movie is mostly shot in Hawaii. Just some trivia. Great reaction guys! /All the best from Sweden
Thank you both for being phenomenal and your channel being unprecedented. This movie is absolute classic. 🥋👍🏽
17:56 That’s BD Wong, he was in Jurassic Park, Mr. Robot, Oz, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and more.
18:53 That’s Clarence Gilyard, he was in Top Gun and Die Hard among other things, he passed away last year.
Hitting a nail with one strike IS possible. It took me a few years, but I did manage to master it. Helped a lot when I worked construction. I didn't do it often, and certainly not in front of others, but it felt great being able to do it.
@17:54 I don't remember his name, but he was the scientist from the Jurrasic Park franchise & the medical examiner from Law & Order: SVU.
*YES PART 2 IS MY FAVORITE!!!*
*NEXT KARATE KID III*
*The Next Karate Kid* (starring Hillary Swank)
AND THEN
*COBRA 🐍 KAI*
Kumiko was always the one. That's all I'm going to say, other than, "No one ever fought to the death for me."
Amanda is ok too 😊
I've never been this early 😮 love your channel!
Haha yayyy, thanks so much for the support, it truly means the world! Hope you enjoy!!
These movies and especially Mr. Miyagi, ended up providing guidance for an entire generation. We could use more movies like this today.
Hope you guys continue on with the over-the-top part 3 and the standalone part 4 to see the rest of the Miyagi run. They are all worth it for his performance alone and all a lot of fun.
Watched this in the theatre years ago and the audience erupted when Mr. Miami tweeked the guy’s nose. Now you know why Generation Xers often quote the Karate Kid movies.
Wow! I'm in my 50's and seen the 1st and 2nd movies many times and thought the 2nd one was filmed on location in Japan. 😮 Learn something new everyday
love seeing you enjoying these movies....they're classics...
The actor coming up to them when they are looking at the TV's is BD Wong, who has done a ton of American shows and even a few on Broadway - Law and Order, Oz, Jurassic Park, etc.
This was his first movie role.
The funny part about the fake weights is that chozen is actually scamming himself. A joke that they actually come back to in cobra Kai. 😂
Definitely watch part 3 and The Next Karate Kid, and definitely check out the series Cobta Kai. In my opinion the series is just as good as the movies. Maybe even better.
What surprised me was that this was supposed to be the last movie. Looking back at it, it would have made a great end to the story. Perhaps 3 should have been 2. In any case, this is my favorite one.
RIP Pat Morita. Miss that guy
6:29 Still believe in that, now and forever
Favorite KK movie! I mean, I love them all, but this one is special with its cinematography and music. I just discovered your channel tonight. I truly hope you guys are planning to go the distance with this series. The next movie is kinda silly, but I love it anyway. The TV show Cobra Kai is a MUST WATCH if you like these movies. Somehow they found a way to recapture the magic in it. I really hope to see it here on your channel.
This is such a classic. You need to react to all the Karate Kid movies and then go on to the Kobra Kai series, which continues Daniel’s life as an adult. This year will be the last season of the series which is excellent & full of surprises! Pat Morita aka Mr Myagi was on the 70s series Happy Days in The 70s. Sadly he passed in 2005. Thanks❤️
This fight is 100 times better than the tournament
It’s so brutal and the way you just have to keep keep on going as long as you can
Amazing reaction!!guys watch part 3
and I assure you you guys will scream from the action!!
Thank you so much for watching! We’ll definitely do part 3!
@@OfficialMediaKnights it is a pleasure😊..
The first one was truly amazing, but this was my favorite by far! You MUST do Cobra Kai! Seeing things from Johnny's perspective is quite amazing and they did a great job writing it!
These two films are perfect
7:27 That's a long flight though. I flew from New York city to Tokyo and it was 22 hours in the air. I couldn't sleep on the plane either so I was really tired when we arrived.
Great reaction guys another one to watch which is also a trilogy is The Three Ninja’s
I enjoyed watching this with you guys. I grew up on this one and the first and they’re both equally amazing to me. You guys reacting reminds me of the specific things that I love about it.
i thought the "no be there" would weirdly come up in the ice block thing. "Just imagine ice...no be there"
I sort of avoided watching this reaction... Because I hadn't seen the movie in many years. I just thought they were doing so much of a repeat of the first movie. In some ways, they did. But in others, not. Which really, is life..... And I was in a different psychological place myself the last time I saw it. I appreciated it much more this time around....
Oh, and that final move that Daniel did.... It's really just a way to develop a more powerful punch. Using more of your body instead of mostly your arms.
And I just fell hell over heals over Daniel's love interest. She's so beautiful and has an elegance about her personality and love of her culture.
Thank you again folks 🙏🏻
This was the movie that sparked my interest in Japanese culture. Anime has strengthened that. I miss watching movies with heart like this😞
The young villian has a few Hawaiian restaurants in Seattle area for a long time. Has some good commercials on youtube. Pretty solid food too.
Mr miyagi breaking the log was a life and death situation,if you asked him how he would've answered with 'dont know first time ' the same way when he was asked after breaking the glass bottles...
Different with Sato , he was practicing he wasn't trying to break the wood
Adore this franchise, even find fun for the remaining ones. Hope you continue & then get into Cobra Kai series
Great sequel. I also happen to have a personal tie to this film -- the actress who played Yukie was married to my stepfather's brother.
