Daniel LaRusso: So I guess you know about the tournament tomorrow.
Ali Mills: Who doesn't?
Daniel LaRusso: Dumb move, huh?
Ali Mills: Not necessarily.
Daniel LaRusso: I don't have much of a cheering section.
Ali Mills: You got me.
Daniel LaRusso: Well, I'll probably get killed in the first match anyway.
Ali Mills: So we'll leave early.

Directed by: John G. Avildsen
Starring: Elisabeth Shue, Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Martin Kove
Continuity mistake: In the final fight between Daniel and Johnny, there is a time when Johnny's head band falls off (after Johnny scores his second point). Right after it falls off, if you look quickly you can see it back on, then it goes back off. (02:00:50)
Suggested correction: That right unless there were a few bits of the scene cut where the referee gave it back to him.
Trivia: Daryl Vidal created the crane kick for the movie and was Pat Morita's stunt double during the scene where Miyagi is perfoming the crane kick on the stumps.
Question: Why does Daniel lie to Freddy Fernandez about his mother's job? He said that she worked with rocket computers, yet we see her working in a restaurant.
Chosen answer: He didn't lie. That was the company she was supposed to be working for. However, the company went bankrupt and she lost her job. She showed up at the restaurant at the same time that the hostess quit and was hired immediately.
