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 but contrary to urban legend never filmed. They were shot specifically for The Karate Kid, Part II. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: While in Okinawa and Japan it is normal for the driver's side to be on the right side of the car for left lane travel, many right hand cars to transported to the island by members of the US military for personal use and subsequently left there. This is why Sato's personal car is right hand drive. See more »
