The Karate Kid, Part 3、as the title suggests, is the third film in the Karate Kid picture show series, released in 1989, directed by John Avlidsen, and starring Ralph Macchio as Daniel and Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi. The Karate Kid film serial is a rather typical example of other 1980s film series (such as Robocop) which just run out of steam as time goes on to the extent that they began with a bang and ended with a whimper. Despite its flaws however, The Karate Kid, Part III isn't well-nigh equally bad as some people make it out to be and is certainly no Robocop 3. This review will talk over the problems with the movie likewise as what it gets right, with an overall assessment of the Karate Kid original flick series as a whole.
1 of the biggest bug with this film is the lack of continuity with the Karate Child Role 2, which for all its flaws did genuinely advance the story and develop Daniel and Miyagi'due south character. The film is fairly graceless in its dumping of Daniel'due south love interest Kumiko; information technology's explained that she just got a job in Japan that she couldn't turn down. This just didn't strike me as believable, perhaps considering they had done it before in Office 2. Daniel's relationships ever happen to end between films? It'due south bluntly insulting when sequels hit the reset button like this.
Only the real continuity trouble is one that is never addressed at all, and that is the human relationship between Yuki and Miyagi. This is not presented every bit a mere superficial teenage romance, but instead equally true love. Miyagi fifty-fifty says that he would stay in Okinawa, if not for the people trying to kill him. So why doesn't Miyagi stay in Okinawa after the conclusion of Part II, or take Yuki to America? It's never explained. This film takes a dump on Miyagi and Daniel's development; the second film may every bit well accept never happened.
Moreover, all the remainder and self-command that Daniel adult in the starting time 2 films is gone, indeed Daniel if anything seems even more neurotic and unbalanced than he was at the beginning of the original film. Daniel is whiny and angsty, going into long diatribes about his own inadequacy. This would be less tiresome if it were a response to something far more desperate; but in Part Ii the villains were trying to kill him and his master; in Office 3 they are just trying to take away his title as champion by defeating him in a local karate tournament. And then, Daniel is cool-headed when threatened with death in a foreign country, merely the prospect of losing his title to a agglomeration of local punks turns him into a nervous wreck? The film also fails to find a coherent theme, too poorly retreading the original.
That said, the pic does manage to go some things correct. As whiny every bit Daniel is, he retains something of his likability, even if it is diminished. We likewise take the things that brand the whole series fun; wonderfully over-the-top villains and pseudo-eastern wisdom. The emotional core of the motion picture is tarnished merely intact; that of the relationship betwixt Daniel and Miyagi. These two characters, although somewhat botched, still work together well.
None of the original Karate Child films are by themselves incoherent, but taken every bit a whole the series is rather lopsided. They do get progressively worse as the series goes on, and past the finish of Part 3 one is glad they never fabricated a fourth film (unless you count the Next Karate Kid, and I don't). Still, while it's a shame that they never managed to quite recapture the magic of the commencement pic, I'm glad I got to spend iii films in the company of these terrific characters.
