Did You Know?

Trivia

Ralph Macchio (Daniel-san) pronounces the word "karate" in a neutral way, similar to how Mr. Miyagi says it. However, in The Karate Kid, Part III he goes back using a more American pronunciation, like he did in the first movie. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Mr. Miyagi goes to put his glasses on when he receives the letter at the beginning of the film, he sticks one of the arms of his glasses in his eye by accident before putting them on properly. See more »
