DVD Talk (Earl Cressey)
Karate Kid Part III is given a decent presentation on DVD, though it lacks any substantial extras. The film is definitely the weakest entry in the series, and only fans or the film or those seeking to complete their Karate Kid collection should consider ...read the complete Karate Kid movie review at DVD Talk (Earl Cressey)
Movie Gazette (Andrea Chee)
This is a largely worthless third part to the film series - it doesn't really cover any ground that wasn't handled better in the first two films. Worth seeing only for the sake of completing the set, and for Mr Miyagi's fight scenes and one-liners. ...read the complete Karate Kid movie review at Movie Gazette (Andrea Chee)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
I think I have the message by now. It was contained in "The Karate Kid" (1984), which was a wonderful movie, and then it was recycled in "The Karate Kid, Part II." Now we have "The ...read the complete Karate Kid movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Even though many people hated this movie, I still thought it was good. I mean I know it was a bit boring and slow in many of its scenes, but it was all about hardcore Karate.
Daniel unknowingly is training with his enemy whose whole objective is to ...

This movie is fantastic on so many levels. It contains one of the most hare-brained, ridiculous story lines ever written and perhaps the greatest character ever to grace the silver screen! Terry Silver, the Vietnam vet President of "DynaTox" Industries ...

Terry Silver, president of DynaTox Industries, should be considered a beacon of hope for today's youth.
Honorable mentioned should be made for Mr. Silver's sidekick, ...

I love Karate Kid 3, but not because it's a good movie-the movie's actually rather bad. Storywise it seems to take a step backward instead of forward. The plot is very similar to the first film. John Kreese is back(yeah!) and looking for revenge coz ...
Though he is in soap operas now, this film displays Mike's young days as a brash, fighting machine. He uses "quicksilver" to destroy his opponents, and Daniel-San gets a taste of this ferocity as he wets his pants when he is flung from the ...

a lot of hate with this one, some of it justified, but who cares! this is simply one awesome movie, and it's a MOVIE. that means it doesn't have to be 100% accurate all the time!Sensei Kresse wants to avenge his humiliation at the end of Part 2, by ...

Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita and Hollywood favourite Thomas Ian Griffith deliver the finest performances of their lives in this powerful new chapter of the Karate Kid series. Griffith in particular steals the show as Cobra Kai Sensei John Kreese's war buddy ...

Right up there with the most inspirational films of our time, Karate Kid III is a testament to the human spirit. In this installment our favorite karate instructor, Sensei Kreese is torn by his demise at the hands of Daniel and Miyagi in the first film. ...

This is the best KK film. I thought this installment had the best plot and villians. In director John G. Avildsen's third installment of the popular Karate Kid series, the original villian returns to get his revenge aganist Miyagi and Daniel. Kreese ...

This movie is to say the least, great! It's an underapprieciated masterpiece. Those who disagree don't look deeper into it. If you take your time and watch it all the way through again, you might see some of the emotional value you missed the first time. ...
