Movie: The Next Karate Kid (1994)

This review contains examples of:

  • Foe Romance Subtext: The Critic isn't sure what to make of Ned's behavior towards Julie: is he a bully or a guy who aggressively pursues her?
  • Losing Horns: The Price Is Right lose jingle is played when Julie fails to land properly after a round kick.
  • Medal of Dishonor:
    Julie: My name is Julie! My mother's name was Susan! She was killed in a car accident with my father and they're both dead!
    Critic: And the award for "Worst Exposition Ever to be Uttered in a Movie" is... "The Next Karate Kid"! (audience applause) You suck!
  • Running Gag: Star Wars film clips:
    • After the hall monitor bullies discover Julie is in the school: "It's a trap!"
    • When Julie fails the jump kick: "That, is why you fail."
    • When Mr. Miyagi blindfolds Julie for training: "Your eyes can deceive you. Don't trust them."
    • At the end of the review, The Critic says it wasn't a good movie, but it did try. To which Yoda replies, "DO, or do not. There is no try."
