This movie is far from great...

..but for some reason, I kinda like it anyway. I'm sure part of it is Hilary Swank's sexy tomboy girl-next-door look and her cut off jean shorts. Plus I thought the monks were pretty funny. And Miagi is always fun to listen to.

That being said, there are parts that make NO sense that everyone here has aleady pointed out: The school security that is out to literally murder people, Eric's classic Oldsmobile 442 exploding for no reason whatsoever, why those three guys bungee-jumped from the ceiling in the middle of a school dance (and NO ONE saw them get up there? And how? Did they have a crane or something?)
And.....the way Miagi totally contradicts himself at the end.
"Fighting is no good. Let's leave"
"But I *want* to!"
"OK then. Never mind. Go ahead and fight to win"

(sratches head in confusion)

I thought it was pretty funny when Miyagi was telling Eric to keep his pants on and his hands to himself with Julie while not-so-subtly cutting up a zuccini with a knife.
Try to get some hot Hilary action after the dance = Get your junk sliced off by an old Japanese man LOL
