The movie starts out with a sexy pregnant man showering after his partner just chop-sueyed an unarmed party reveler and reduced him to RIP status.
With no internal affairs inquiry, the police academy sequel recruit gets off Scot-free and escapes a count-one murder charge.
Jumping seven years later, the next karate kid arrives at Scottsdale High and meets gangs from all four corners of the globe.
Even Max Jenke makes an appearance as comedic relief. It's a far cry from his vile tongue in 'Horror Show' when referencing children.
Already, the next karate kid has laid eyes on Julia Stiles, and some of these actors look 20 and over.
The next karate kid hooks up with Kevin from 'Repo Man,' who shows him the ropes. Was that actor the same as the Napoleon Dynamite one?
The bad boy in this movie is Peter Stegman.
The next karate kid learns the hard way that selecting Stegman's girlfriend can land you in hot water.
You know, it almost smacks of Daniel-San's attraction to Ali with an eye.
'Showdown' is a blatant blueprint rip-off of 'The Karate Kid.' Stegman is the king of karate in his dojo, but their sensei is of the unstable kind, unlike John Kreese. The Kreese of this reminds me of either Emil from 'Robocop' or Tom Towles who reminds me of The Red Dragon.
The next karate kid continues to defy Stegman by hitting on Stiles. Aren't there any other girls to choose from?
The next karate kid has already met Arsenio Hall, and you already know this is the Daniel-San/Miyagi combination of the movie. You know? Teacher, student, and all that jazz.
Has this movie no shame?
Arsenio Hall turns all Spider-Man and jumps some of Sensei Dragon's students.
Keeping up with 'Karate Kid' tradition, Stegman steals lines from Avildsen's movie about falling off his bike and scraping his head.
The next karate kid also mentions the part about not being asked if he wanted to move.
The next karate kid is given a royal beaten in front of the entire school, similar to the beach scene from 'The Karate Kid.' Oh man, he blatantly just referenced 'The Karate Kid' directly with the whole wax on, wax off line. Is this allowed?
The next karate kid slowly learns skills from Arsenio Hall and builds confidence, and why won't it surprise me when he wins at the end? I think I've seen this movie before, somewhere.
Isn't there an Italian version that does the same thing?
The next karate kid .5 turns from a coward to a black belt after only two lessons and decks Stegman with an illegal blow. He's got the juice now, man.
A violent underground scene turns into 'Shootfighter' where The Red Dragon dismantles a Zumba nobody actor flawlessly. They try to lure the next karate kid .5 into the underground circuit where they don't fight for trophy's.
This training montage with the 'Cool Cat' music has nothing on the iconic Bill Conti instrumental. What an insult.
It must be stated that Julie Pierce is the Milli Vanilli of the Karate Kid universe as this next karate kid .5 is the real deal, not faking it.
Arsenio Hall and the pregnant shower fella from the start rob Tom Towles boys, but only draw attention from The Red Dragon, who puts a hit out on him.
Oh man, the next karate kid .5's mom even lands a job as a waitress with Lucille, with benefits a thousand times better than computers.
She says near the end of the movie that she failed the next karate kid .5 and that she wants a better job to provide for him, but the movie's so lazy that it doesn't bother concluding her storyline as it's such a dead end and adds squat to anything.
Arsenio Hall is set upon by amateur hitmen who fuddle and become clumsy all of a sudden and forget how to carry out their duty.
Does anyone remember that karate documentary and its claim that Benny the Jet Urquidez versus Jackie Chan, in some movie I never bothered seeing, was voted the best fight scene in any movie?
The hairy boom mic makes a cameo around the one-hour, 15-minute mark. What amateur film-making skills!
Again, the silly training montage music sounds like 'Hill Street Blues.' They must have used free music from a hand-me-down catalog.
The movie's definitely 'The Karate Kid' with a touch of '3:15,' 'Tuff Turf,' 'Shootfighter' and 'Ring of Fire.'
The boom mic appears again around the one hour and seventeen minute mark, where some Halloween kid is dressed in a karate kimono and delivering woeful movie lines.
The next karate kid .5 and Brad from 'Ring of Fire' duke it out at the end bare back, I mean bare-fisted, and Arsenio Hall appears out of nowhere like a ninja turtle leaping into action and inspires the next karate kid .5 to do a number on Brad. The next karate kid .5 rips off his shirt and reveals the ripped body of an Adonis, turns all Van Damme, and wins the crowd over, but The Red Dragon doesn't look impressed that his boy is being served up cold on a platter.
No sooner are legs and limbs flying with The Red Dragon and Arsenio Hall trading blows. They kick like mules and bite like a crocodile. Oh, wait, that was Sue. Wrong ballroom. Pin that on me. I wasn't paying attention.
Like Han Solo said, the end turns all mushy, and committed students defect to the good side, selling out like the traitors that they are.
And the end credits roll to late-night sitcom music.
