Trivia

The opening scenes (Daniel in the shower, and the confrontation in the parking lot with Kreese) were in the script for The Karate Kid (1984) but contrary to urban legend never filmed. They were shot specifically for The Karate Kid, Part II (1986).

Actually earned more at the box office than The Karate Kid (1984).

When Miyagi introduces Daniel to the Miyagi family dojo, he shows him a picture of the founder of Miyagi Karate. "Miyagi Shimpo Sensei". The person in the picture is extremely similar to the founder of the modern Japanese martial art "Aikido", named "Morihei Ueshiba"

Goofs

When Miyagi and Daniel are in the bar betting on the ice slabs, Miyagi says, "Miyagi take care of everything." In the next shot, hays, "Hot dogs!" but his mouth never moves.

After Miyagi fights Chozen and his friends, he runs by a concrete statue to see if Daniel is okay. The statue moves a bit. The next scene shows Chozen kicking this statue and supposedly breaking it.

During the storm scene, after Sato is saved by Miyagi and Daniel, and Chozen stayed inside the shelter, Chozen says to Sato that he thought Sato was dead. When Sato tells Chozen to go help Daniel and he refuses, Sato tells him "Now, to you, I am dead". However, during the Castle scene, when Sato tries to get Chozen to calm down, Chozen tells him that he cannot hear him because "I am dead to you, remember?". It's a clear mistake and the script was trying to say instead "You are dead to me". Since Sato is dead to Chozen, Chozen cannot hear him. It doesn't even make sense the other way around.

Q

Is "The Karate Kid" based on a book?

A

The Karate Kid, Part II is a sequel to The Karate Kid (1984), which was based on a script by screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen, who also wrote the script for this movie. The Karate Kid, Part II is the second in a series of four Karate Kid movies, including The Karate Kid, The Karate Kid Part II, The Karate Kid, Part III (1989), and The Next Karate Kid (1994). The Karate Kid movies have no relation to the DC Comics superhero also known as "Karate Kid".

Q

Does Yukie come back to the U.S. with Miyagi?

A

Yukie asks Miyagi to take her with him, but the film ends before Miyagi and Daniel fly back to California. Whether or not Yukie accompanies him must wait to be answered in The Karate Kid, Part III (1989).

Q

What do they call the hand drum that Daniel used?

A

Hand drum is one of the proper names for the type of hand-held drum that Daniel used. They are also sometimes referred to as monkey drums or pellet drums. In Japan, where they are considered children's toys, they are called den-den daiko. See a photo of them here.
