Did anybody actually see this in the theater?


If so, what did you think?

reply

I saw it in the theater. I thought it was okay. Definitely not as good as the first two. I wasn't really buying into Mike Barnes as a big threat. I felt like if Daniel could beat Chozen in a death match, then he could easily have beaten Mike Barnes.

He got complacent after beating Chozen and let his diet go to shit.

I saw it at the time.
I was looking forward to it, but was kind of let down. I didn't see it again until a few years ago when they first announced Kobra Kai.

I saw Batman, Indiana Jones Last Crusade, Star Trek V, BTTF2 and GB2 that year ..there was also Lethal Weapon 2 and Bond (I was too young to see them as were cert 15)

I remember seeing the poster for KK3 in the theatre lobby and feeling quite sad for it amongst all these cool must see movies

The public got bamboozled by their big budget ad campaigns while missing out on the real gem of the ‘89 summer season. The passage of time has proven KKIII to be the superior, more influential film.
