Some scenes cut from the original script include a scene introducing a mysterious character named Webster Miyagi who waits for Miyagi outside the tournament building, to whom Miyagi reacts in an uncomfortable manner, and also a scene of Daniel and Ali breaking up because of Ali leaving for Europe for the summer.

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.

During the fight between Chozen and Miyagi (When Chozen is armed with the spear), Chozen strikes Miyagi on the back with the spear. This is one of only 2 times in the entire movie series someone lands a successful strike on Miyagi. The second is in the climactic dojo showdown in The Karate Kid, Part III between Myagi, Kreese, Silver & Barnes. Kreese and Myagi start to fight and Kreese lands a kick on Miyagi's chest.
