The price of honour. The power of friendship. THE KARATE KID, Part II. Ralph Macchio and Noriyuki "Pat" Morita re-create the roles that brought them international acclaim in THE KARATE KID, when karate student Daniel Larusso (Macchio) accompanies his wise and whimsical Mr. Miyagi (Morita), to his ancestral home in Okinawa. For the boy, it's a journey to an exotic new world, offering new clues to his mentor's secret past. For Miyagi, it's an opportunity to see his father one last time and rekindle a romance with his childhood sweetheart (Nobu McCarthy). But Miyagi's return also re-ignites a bitter feud with long-time enemy Sato (Danny Kamekona) - a feud that involves young Daniel in a brilliant collision of cultures and combat. Now, far away from the tournaments, the cheering crowds and the safety of home, Daniel will face his greatest challenge ever when teacher becomes student, and the price of honour is life itself.

Martial arts master Miyagi (Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita) and his student Daniel (Ralph Macchio) return in director John G. Avildsen's sequel to the popular KARATE KID. After their triumphant victory, Daniel and Miyagi continue their training, focusing on the honour and discipline of karate and the deeper powers of meditation. When Miyagi receives news that his father is near death, he and Daniel take off to the island of Okinawa where Miyagi's family lives. Upon Miyagi's return to his homeland, he is reunited with his long-lost childhood love, Yukie (Nobu McCarthy). Despite their youthful love for one another, Yukie was forced to marry Miyagi's rival, Sato (Danny Kamekona), in an arranged marriage, causing Miyagi to flee Okinawa instead of fighting for the woman that he loved. Now his old rival is a powerful karate expert and a rich, embittered landowner who demands a final grudge match with the the wise and elderly Miyagi. As Sato threatens Miyagi and his family, his nephew, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), is out to fight Daniel in a battle of young wills. Both teacher and student are forced to stand up to their rivals in an action-packed climax. The emotionally charged adventures of Daniel and Miyagi are set against the beauty and honor of old world Japan, instilling a rich sense of history into their mastery and understanding of the ancient art of karate. The rousing soundtrack includes the Oscar-winning hit, 'Glory of Love' by Peter Cetera.
