The Karate Kid Part II
When Daniel accompanies Mr. Miyagi to Okinawa to fulfill his teacher’s family duty, they become entangled in a centuries‑old rivalry that could destroy an entire village—and Daniel must navigate deadly honor and his own first love to survive.
“One more lesson to share. The price of honor. The power of friendship. And the way you must fight when only the winner survives.”
Synopsis
Summoned by his dying father, Miyagi returns to Okinawa with Daniel after a 40‑year exile. There he must confront Yukie, the love of his youth, and Sato, his former best friend turned vengeful rival. Sato is bent on a fight to the death, even if it means the destruction of their village. Daniel finds his own love in Yukia.

A crew of 53+ credited
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 8.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
