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.

  • “- Daniel: Why do I have to do this with this thing?
    - Terry: Because it's a part of the training. Because I'm teaching techniques that you don't have. Techniques you'll need to win the tournament. What, do you think you can rely on that crane crap?”
