The Karate Kid, Part II is a 1986 American martial arts film and is a sequel to 1984's The Karate Kid. Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi, respectively. The original music score was composed by Bill Conti. Like the original film, the sequel was also a success, and earned even more at the box office than its predecessor, although it received mixed reviews from critics. The film picks up almost directly after the end of The Karate Kid; John Kreese , furious over his star pupil Johnny Lawrence's second place finish in the All Valley Karate... Tournament, viciously berates and humiliates Johnny in the parking lot. Miyagi, who is leaving the venue with Daniel, rescues Johnny, passively immobilizes Kreese, then comically tweaks Kreese's nose instead of dealing him a fatal blow. As Johnny and his friends quit the Cobra Kai dojo en masse, Miyagi explains his actions to Daniel: "For person with no forgiveness in heart, living even worse punishment than death." Six months afterwards in 1985, it is revealed that Ali has dumped Daniel for a football player from UCLA.
