A double bill for the worst films in the series? Why?
I know people love Thomas Ian Griffith in the movie, (and he’s a great action star) but come on!
The only value that came from Next was “Miyagi may not live in a monestary, but he tries to respect life,” and “Never trust a god who doesn’t dance.”
Karate Kid III has a certain charm to it lol I actually never saw NEXT. No Macchio, no Karate Kid.
