Corrected entry: Kreese must truly be a great martial artist. At the beginning, he singlehandedly attacks four of his students knocking them all out while holding another one in his other arm and choking him. Quite an amazing feat. Yet only moments later, not only does he unsuccessfully try to punch Miyagi in the face, he fails to notice that Miyagi is standing in front of a car window both times which anyone with his rank should know is a dumb move. Not very plausible.

Corrected entry: Elizabeth Shue didn't reprise her role as Ali in this film. As a result, Daniel and Myagi are seen leaving the tournament at the beginning without Ali which quite frankly makes no sense whatsoever. There is no known reason why she wouldn't leave with them.

Correction: You're absolutely right. Attacking Mr. Miyagi the way Kreese did is a bad move, and any rational person would see that. However, Kreese is overconfident in his abilities, has underestimated Mr. Miyagi's abilities, and is acting toward Mr. Miyagi out of anger. After smashing the first car window, he becomes even more angry and that leads to him smashing the second car window. Yes, Kreese's actions were dumb, but they are completely plausible in light of Kreese's overconfidence, his underestimation of Mr. Miyagi, and his acting out of anger which causes him not to think rationally about his behavior.
