When Eric gets out of his car at the docks and is approaching Ned to confront him, watch his car in the background. A shadow falls over it and it looks like somebody is splashing something onto it. A moment later, Colonel Dugan and some Alpha Elite come out of hiding and one of them runs over to the car and starts splashing gasoline onto it. Whoever was splashing something onto the car a split second before has completely disappeared. See more »Quotes

"The Next Karate Kid" is not a very impressive film. However, it introduces a young actress named Hilary Swank to the mainstream audience. Amazingly, just five short years after this film Swank would be holding the Oscar for her gender-bending role in "Boys Don't Cry". In this film she takes Macchio's role and does an admirable job even though the material is just not there. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
