Plot – Daniel La Russo became a karate champion after the final battle against the "mean" Kreese. Once back to Okinawa, he rejects the idea to enroll at university to use the money to make the dream of his “master” Miyagi come true: he wants to build a laboratory for the cultivation of bonsai. However, the quiet life of Daniel is soon threatened by the wicked Mike Barnes, a tough guy secretly hired by the billionaire Terry Silver to avenge the defeat of his close friend and fellow soldier Kreese. He claims to challenge La Russo in a savage karate championship. Miyagi refuses to train Daniel, because he thinks that the defense of the title isn’t a quality of karate. Daniel accepts to be trained by Silver, who disguises himself. Realizing the absurdity of the new and raw fighting strategies and becoming aware that Silver, Barnes and Kreese are organizing his defeat, Daniel goes back to Miyagi, who decides to train him to make him win in the final battle.

“You know, this is the 80s, Mr. Miyagi. You can't be so damn passive!”
“Remember the game plan. First you win a point, then you lose a point. Keep the score at zero-zero. Pulverize him for the full three minutes. Then in sudden death you get the point, we win. I want him to experience pain. First he suffers.”
“- Terry: So what do you think?
- Margaret: Oh, he's obnoxious.
- Terry: Yeah. He's perfect.”“- Daniel: I know you don't believe in fighting, but tournament karate isn't exactly fighting.

“Now the real pain begins, Danny-boy.”
“This is even funnier than I anticipated.”
“You know the rules. Light contact to the body, and I do mean light, Barnes.”
I've always lived my life by the rule: "If you get, you give". For the last twenty years I've gotten from karate. I've gotten discipline, health, self-confidence, inner peace, everything that makes me what I am today. And today it's time for me to give back.
