The original is worth the watch. It’s such a classic. A real game changer for the genre, despite its flaws.
I went for the last installment - The Next Karate Kid. It’s terrible. Miyagi is transplanted to Boston to attend a ceremony for the 442 (with a cameo from Daniel Inouye). There’s very few fights. It’s only redeeming value is the debut of Hilary Swank, only 20 in her long legged midriff baring ingenue glory. Despite a shallow role, you can see she has the stuff. But it totally loses the Daniel-San Miyagi dynamic.
No sword fights. Not DOOM recommended.
