All 5 Karate Kid Movies, Ranked

4. The Karate Kid Part III (1989)

Starring Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Martin Kove, Sean Kanan, and Thomas Ian Griffith, and directed by John Avildsen, who directed the whole trilogy, The Karate Kid Part III is pretty much just more of the same. Essentially, it’s a revenge story as Cobra Kai instructor, John Kreese (played by Martin Kove) wants to get back at Daniel and Mr. Miyagi for beating him and leaving Cobra Kai in shambles. He enlists the help of his nutcase friend, Terry Silver (played by Thomas Ian Griffith) who lures Daniel in and takes him in as a student to split him up from Mr. Miyagi, as Miyagi says that he won’t train Daniel. And then, well, lunacy occurs.
