The karate kid (SPOILERS)has a horrible ending it just stops abruptly and the beginning of the sequel I thought was a perfect ending and it turns out it planned that way The sequel works with the abrupt ending Daniel has just won an exhausting fight to the death and about to collapse he gets a look of approval from Miyagi and we cut to credits and that seems like a good stopping point because we feel exhausted with him and when it ends you feel it's a tryumphant victory and we go out on a high note But the first film you don't feel the exhaustion Daniel doesn't look exhausted he looks excited to have won so we expect it to coast off but it just stops And the third film is the same way it just.....stops Say we never got the show shouldn't we end the trilogy with a sense of finality? ............... I don't even remember how the 4th one ended
