How about no, Scott!
shareI can’t imagine there is a large group of fans clamoring for this.
shareThe Next Karate Kid was the worst in the series so- no. Don't get me wrong Karate Kid III was terrible too, but at least we got Mike Barnes out of it and Terry Silver.
shareOne great scene out of it too:

I've watched this clip more times than I've watched the movie!
The problem that I have with part three is that Danny boy didn't have to compete in the tournament. He just had to defend his title. Then he got pulverized by Mike Barnes, and landed one punch and won. So, it was a cheap and anticlimactic win. Also, in Part 2 he engaged in a fight to the death with Chiozen and won, but in part 3 he's a bigger wimp than he was in part 1. It makes no sense. I wish that they had gone in another direction in part 3, and still introduced Silver, Jessica (I am convinced that she was a plant working for Terry Silver) Barnes, and had Kreese come back too. The casting in part 3 was great (as it was in the entire series) but the story was the drizzling shits.
shareI think Jessica was a plant too, I've read plenty of posts about it over the years.
shareI thought The Next Karate Kid was a better overall film than Karate Kid III. That movie doesn't make sense on so many levels, but it does have Terry Silver who is the most fun character in the franchise.
shareShe doesn't exist in the karate kid franchise for me. Movie was horrible.
shareI WOULD BE DISAPPOINTED IF SHE DIDN'T POP UP.
shareI think it would be great for her to show up, even if it were 1-2 episode spot similar to Ali. I can picture Daniel witnessing her fending off a mugger or something and he sees her do a move Miyagi taught her. He approaches her and she mistakes him for another thug, they have a short fight scene where Daniel stops her and asks "where did you learn that kick or counter?" Then go from there.
shareThat's pretty much what happens in Rush Hour 2.
shareI think it was very deliberate that we haven't learned who Tori's parents are yet. If the writers don't already know who they're going to be, they wanted to leave it open for them to work into the story at the right time. So many possible parents. Here's my rankings from most to least likely.
1) Dutch
2) Jessica
3) Mike Barnes.
4) Hillary Swank's character.
5) Terry Silver.
6) Kreese.
