Continuity mistake: When Sato goes to see Miyagi, but he isn't there, Chozen destroys the dojo then tells his two friends to let Daniel go, and they throw him forward. His hands are not in the fighting stance, yet in the following shot he is now in his fighting stance with his hands at the ready. (01:15:25)
The Karate Kid Part II (1986)

Directed by: John G. Avildsen

Miyagi saves Sato the night he was supposed to fight, so he becomes friends with Miyagi once again. Chozen is shunned by Sato because he was too afraid to help Miyagi save him. At a celebration one night, Chozen fights Daniel. Daniel wins and shows mercy just when he could have possibly killed him.

Chozen: Your teacher need a hearing aid. Maybe you need one too.
Daniel: I only hear what's worth listening to.
Trivia: The scene that takes place in the parking lot in the beginning of this film was actually the original ending for the first movie.
Question: Throughout the film, are there a series of deliberate 'Back to the Future' references? I noticed two straight away - Daniel says 'If you put your mind to it anything is possible, you can do anything' which is repeated several times during BTTF. Also, when Daniel and Kumiko are at the dance, the song 'Earth Angel' can be heard. The song at the climax of the dance in BTTF. Are these deliberate, as BTTF was a year before this movie?
Answer: Also, Daniel's "put your mind to it you can accomplish anything" (before painting the fence) was used in the first film from 1984 - a year BEFORE Back to the Future came out.

Chosen answer: No it is not deliberate. what Daniel says is a common saying, and Earth Angel was a popular song. coincidence at best.
