In Part III Daniel-san (Ralph Macchio) and Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) return from Okinawa and open a Bonsai shop.
Once again their peace is disrupted when bad boy Mike Barnes (a memorable Sean Kanan) comes a calling. Barnes has been hired by Terry Silver (a very good Thomas Ian Griffith), a former army friend of John Kreese (Martin Kove) who is exacting revenge on Kreese's behalf (after Kreese lost all of his Cobra Kai students, due to his actions at the start of Part II.)
Robyn Lively is engaging as Jessica Andrews, a new love interest for Daniel, who owns a pottery shop across the road.
Morita remains the best thing here with his wisdom spouting quotes. The score by Bill Conti is wonderful as always.
Part III is highly contrived but it contains the best fight choreography of the three.
Silver's plan is a little odd, without meaning to, his teachings could be making Daniel a better fighter! Helping him to beat his star pupil. Watching Miyagi take out the (human) trash is fun and the tournament is well done.
