If you loved Rocky V, try The Karate Kid Part II

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by John G. Avildsen, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rocky V, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Karate Kid Part II is

Okinawa hills, summer, a worn wooden fence. Miyagi returns home with Daniel, confronting past loves and rivalries in a village where honor is a matter of life and death. This sequel grounds its conflicts in cultural heritage.
