Visible crew/equipment: When Daniel and Mr Miyagi are walking along the street (near the time where Daniel uncovers the "weights scam" on the scales of the vegetable buyer), the camera dolly handle is plainly in view at the bottom of the screen. (Fullscreen)
The Karate Kid Part II (1986)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: John G. Avildsen
Starring: Ralph Macchio, Pat Morita, Bruce Malmuth, Pat E. Johnson
Factual error: After Miyagi and the kid have the conversation with the military man they drive off and round a corner. A scene is shown of the sea and very visible is a shot of "Chinaman's Hat" Island. A feature that if you have ever been to Oahu, Hawaii near Kualoa Point you would know is on the island of Oahu and not in Okinawa where the movie is supposed to take place. See Chinaman's hat at this site: http://www.hawaiiweb.com/oahu/sites_to_see/chinamans_hat.htm.
Sato: Miyagi, I wait long time for this. No tricks tonight, or tomorrow, everything gone. Their homes. Their church. everything! gone.
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.
