Chills.

"Live or die, man? You make the choice."

So, pour some sake. Put on the headband. And listen for the drum.

When Daniel finally wins, he doesn't use the crane kick. He uses the —a rapid-fire, two-fisted punch Miyagi taught him using the drum. And when he has Chozen pinned with a spear? Daniel spares him.

6.9 – "Good." I say: It is a flawed masterpiece. The pacing is slow in the middle. Daniel gets a little whiny. But the final thirty minutes—from the typhoon to the spear—are as good as anything in the 80s action-drama canon.

What awaits them is not a karate tournament, but a family feud. Miyagi confronts his former best friend and mortal enemy, Sato (played with volcanic intensity by Danny Kamekona). Decades ago, Miyagi won the heart of a woman (Yukie) that Sato wanted. In a fit of rage, Sato challenged Miyagi to a fight to the death. Miyagi chose exile instead of killing his friend.

Then, Miyagi walks outside. He takes off his shirt. He stands in the rain. And he takes the full force of Sato’s best punches—without blocking.
