Hey everyone! Welcome to the 47th edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon series. I’m so incredibility sorry for the lateness on this edition. I was hoping to have this one online either late April or early May but since this pass month has been hugely busy for me due both moving to a new place and work, I didn’t get a chance to do it until now. As you already know last month here on SuperMarcey.com, I posted up poll with three bad horror movies and I said that whichever one out of those three films had the highest votes, I would watch and live-tweet for this column. Well, the votes are in and you all have spoken. For this 47nd instalment of Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon, you guys wanted me to watch and live-tweet… THE NEXT KARATE KID! Did we honestly really need a fourth KARATE KID film? Was the crappiness of this film the main reason Hilary Swank decided to seek actual good movies? Read on and find out! Enjoy!

I know I’ve said a million times before but I’m going to say again. Is it too late for me to *not* watch this film? #NextKarateKid
You know it doesn’t surprise me that this film starts off with funeral. This sequel was pretty much dead on arrival #NextKarateKid
Pat Morita: legendary bad arse #NextKarateKid
Directed by the father of Superman. Seriously, no joke. LOIS & CLARK star/Supeman himself Dean Cain’s father made this film. #NextKarateKid
Yeah… I don’t see the point of this funeral. It doesn’t really add that much to the story. #NextKarateKid
OMG we’re now in Boston. Brace yourselves: Boston accents are coming. #NextKarateKid
Oh, hi two time Academy Award winning actress Hilary Swank. I suppose you had to start somewhere before you started into better films. #NextKarateKid
Wow. That was a really forced and awkward exposition of the tragic backstory of Hilary’s character Julie. #NextKarateKid
Now I’m not a 100% certain just yet but I have a feeling Julie may be a trouble maker. #NextKarateKid
Wait… So the troubles that Julie gets up to in her spare time is… Looking after a injured hawk? I’m confused. #NextKarateKid
The cops have arrived. Yeah, they should totally arrest Julie for taking care of that hawk. That monster! #NextKarateKid
Geez, Julie is such a jerk to her grandmother. A reminder this is the hero of our story, people. #NextKarateKid
I’ve stated this before and I’ll say it again: Michael Ironside automatically makes any crappy film a little bit better. #NextKarateKid
Oh, man. I don’t who these guys are but I’m calling them the douchebag bro patrol. Seems like the perfect name for them. #NextKarateKid
Uh, oh. Love interest alert for Julie. #NextKarateKid
Ahhh… Mate.. I don’t think you should be just casually wander into the Woman’s toilets like that. You perv. #NextKarateKid
By the way I don’t know what Julie’s love interest’s name is, I’m just going to name him Love Interest for now. #NextKarateKid
OMG! A young Walton Goggins is in the film as one of the school douchebags! #NextKarateKid
Ahhhh… Yeah… I’m pretty in real life Michael Ironside would lose his job as teacher if he slapped a student. #NextKarateKid
Yep, Mr. Miyagi will always be best no matter what. #NextKarateKid
How is possible that Julie’s love interest looks like he is way too old to be in High School. #NextKarateKid
You know for a film that’s suppose to be set in Boston, there is barely a Bostonian accent in it so far. #NextKarateKid
“What are you doing next month?” Starring in a better film than THE NEXT KARATE KID? #NextKarateKid
Okay, we go. Here’s the gratuitous mention of the character of Daniel LaRusso from the first three KARATE KID films. #NextKarateKid
“Teach me? You can’t even speak English!” Now that was just rude and kind of racist, Julie! #NextKarateKid
OMG Julie almost got hit by a pizza car but she got out of the way by leaping onto the bonnet! It was hilarious! #NextKarateKid
“They left you more than photographs. They left you a legacy” … By starring in the worst KARATE KID film in the series. #NextKarateKid
“There’s no such thing as too much make up” I don’t know about that. Have you seen Kyle McLachlan in SHOWGIRLS? #NextKarateKid
Oh, man. The ’90s fashion in this film is pretty hilarious. #NextKarateKid
Now we’ve got a random scene of Julie babysitting some brats. There just putting more padding on this film aren’t they? #NextKarateKid
Yeah, I’m pretty sure there are better things to use for earplugs than cotton wool balls, Mr. Miyagi. #NextKarateKid
Yeah, the Douchebag Bro Patrol are taking their roles as school hall monitors way too seriously. #NextKarateKid
Seriously, what the hell is the guy’s problem with Julie?! He’s a total psycho for no apparent reason at all. #NextKarateKid
Also why are the Douchbaf Bro Patrol hanging out in school after hours? It doesn’t make any sense at all. #NextKarateKid
Ahhh… Where the hell are Mr. Miyagi & Julie? They left Boston and seems like they wound up West Virginia or someplace. #NextKarateKid
Yeah… I’m sorry. For someone who’s meant to be a karate master, Miyagi isn’t that good at it at all. I know he’s old but still… #NextKarateKid
Wait… How did Julie & Mr. Miyagi managed to find a temple with Japanese monks in the U.S.? This doesn’t make any sense at all. #NextKarateKid
Oh, geez. That was a bit dangerous. Julie could have landed on that huge rock and killed herself, Mr. Miyagi. #NextKarateKid
I don’t know about anyone else but I’m pretty sure that Julie’s hair bangs are the real stars of this film. #NextKarateKid
Oh, geez. I hope that monk doesn’t eat that cockroach. #NextKarateKid
So who’s the most unlikable lead character in the KARATE KID films? Julie or Daniel? #NextKarateKid
Oh, Julie’s love interest is named Eric. Somehow that doesn’t really surprise me at all. #NextKarateKid
Oh, man. That slow motion shot of Julie running through that field was hilariously bad. #NextKarateKid
Ummm… Has Julie been wearing the exact same clothes since she’s been at the temple over the pass few days? #NextKarateKid
Wow… Who would thought that the monks were big fans of ’90s band The Cranberries. #NextKarateKid
Ahhhh… Why are the monks randomly dancing all of a sudden? Did David Lynch direct this scene? #NextKarateKid
You know I’m not liking the fact that legendary ‘wax on, wax off’ teaching method is barely used in this sequel. #NextKarateKid
like how after Julie kicks that punching bag, it literally explodes lol. #NextKarateKid
“This is the first time I’ll eat cake with chopsticks” I’m pretty sure you could just use your hands but whatever, Julie. #NextKarateKid
Ahhh… The monks just tried to murder Mr. Miyagi with a bow and arrow. I’m disturbed. #NextKarateKid
I like how this film resolves itself around a hawk. #NextKarateKid
I like how every time the hawk squarks, its month doesn’t even open lol. #NextKarateKid
Oh, Julie. If you can learn how to do karate, I’m pretty sure you can learn how to do the waltz. #NextKarateKid
You know this film would be a whole lot better if it was all just about Mr. Miyagi buying a dress for Julie’s upcoming prom for two hours. #NextKarateKid
Well, I didn’t realise that you can teach someone to waltz through the power of basic karate moves. The More You Know. #NextKarateKid
Oh, geez, Julie. Way to open up old wounds from Mr. Miyagi’s past by mentioning he would have been a ‘great parent’ #NextKarateKid
Nice to see those monks show up in Boston to watch Julie go to her prom. #NextKarateKid
Ahhh… Mr. Miyagi. Can you stop pointing that knife at Eric? #NextKarateKid
Daaaammmmnnnn Julie! Your prom dress is really something. Seriously that dress should be illegal ’cause it’s way too sexy #NextKarateKid
“That’s a nice dress” You’re telling me, Eric. #NextKarateKid
Bod Odenkirk? Seriously there’s a bowler that looks like him. #NextKarateKid
Monks going bowling. Now I’ve seen everything. #NextKarateKid
You know for a film called THE NEXT KARATE KID, there’s barely any karate in it. #NextKarateKid
Man, that gymnasium must be pretty big for the Douchebag Bro Patrol to do that bungee jumping. #NextKarateKid
I have feeling after leaving high school, the Douchebag Bro Patrol would grow up to be Men’s Rights Activists and Trump voters. #NextKarateKid
Seriously… What. Are. The. Douchebag. Bro. Patrol’s. F***ing. Problem. With. Julie. And. Eric?!!! #NextKarateKid
So the leader of the Douchebag Bro Patrol is named Ned? That’s not very intimidating at all. #NextKarateKid
Whoa!!! They blew up Eric’s car! Yeah, these guys are taking high school hall monitoring way too far! #NextKarateKid
Then again their teacher is Michael Ironside. So that pretty much explains EVERYTHING. #NextKarateKid
“Guys, this is embarrassing” Funny that’s what the audience said after watching this film. #NextKarateKid
You know I’m surprise that Mr. Miyagi didn’t teach Julie the crane move. That technique would have beaten them quickly. #NextKarateKid
Yeah Mr. Miyagi! Kick Michael Ironside’s arse! #NextKarateKid
Well, the only time karate is used in the film and it’s quite… Underwhelming. #NextKarateKid
Wait… That’s it?! The movie just ends?! Did they forget to shoot a proper ending? #NextKarateKid
Also is Julie’s grandmother back from her trip? ‘Cause we haven’t seen her since the beginning of the film. #NextKarateKid
It’s sad that a lot of people involved with this film are no longer alive: Pat Mortia, producer Jerry Weintraub, Hilary Swank’s career… #NextKarateKid
Well, that’s the end of the film. There’s no doubt that this is without the worst and most pointless one in the whole series #NextKarateKid
I hope everyone enjoyed reading this 47th edition of Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon! Since I kept you reader waiting a little for this one, I will bring you next week a very special edition of the article. Why’s that you ask? ‘Cause May actually marks the 4th anniversary of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon column. So I thought that to celebrate this special occasion instead of asking you readers to pick which bad film I should watch and live-tweet, I would pick the film myself. So which bad film have I chosen for the 48th/4th anniversary edition of the article? I’m going to be doing it on Aussie director Alex Proyas’ 2016 film GODS OF EYGPT! Keep a look out for it here on SuperMarcey.com early next week!
