Since it wouldn't be a Karate Kid movie unless someone was trying to ruin Daniel-San's life, they created a plot centering around the millionaire friend of Creese, who fell on hard times after Zabka lost the All-Valley Karate Championship. Blaming Daniel-San, The Rich Guy (played in career-ending fashion by Thomas Ian Griffith) develops an elaborate plan to deceive Daniel and Mr. Miyagi, hoping to eventually destroy both of them. Honestly, I wish he had.

I am currently reading an old article by ESPN's Bill Simmons about the Holy Trinity of The Karate Kid Trilogy. It's an older article and he is basically laying that he believes the original Karate Kid is one of the 15 best sports movies of all time (I agree with him) but is followed by two inferior sequels. Anway, this passage about part III made me laugh, most notable the mention of the villains performance, which is horribly over the top.
