The Karate Kid Part II

Six months after the tournament, Ali breaks up with Daniel, and Mr. Miyagi learns his father is dying in Okinawa. Daniel goes along. In the village, Miyagi meets Yukie again, the love he left behind, and Sato, his former best friend, now a millionaire who wants the fight left unsettled. Sato's nephew Chozen provokes Daniel, who grows close to Kumiko, Yukie's niece. A typhoon changes everything: Miyagi and Daniel rescue Sato, who gives the land back to the village. At the O-bon festival, Chozen kidnaps Kumiko and challenges Daniel, who wins with the drum technique.
