My two sons are very happy with the DVDs. One of my old time favorites and now one of their new time favorite.

EVERYTHING Karate Kid! (eh, and then some), 2007-08-13
When "Karate Kid" first showed up in theatres, "Ghostbusters" was right there in competition with it! My mom told my buddy and I that we had a choice of one or the other. Well, right away we said, "Ghostbusters!" We knew that the other movie was popular, but not this time. Well, a year or two after it was released, I spent the night at another friend's house, and "Karate Kid" was highly recommended. When my family moved, and Karate Kid II came to the theatres, we were in line for tickets! I always enjoyed it, and when I heard it was to be a box set, I decided to get the collection. Whether you get this for, "Wax on, wax off!", "Paint the fence.", "Finish him, Johnny!! Get him a body bag!", or whether you just enjoy Miyagi, it isn't disappointing. But there are setbacks. All in all, I thought it was indeed a 5 star collection. Here are the movies, with some brief thoughts.
The Karate Kid: Well, this is where it all begins! This is where Daniel moves with mother (Ma) from New Jersey to California. This is where a young man finds a mentor in an older maintenance man named Miyagi. This is the beginning of a confrontation between Daniel and a gang called Cobra Kai. This is where Daniel learns the Karate that Miyagi knows to love. The great thing about this is indeed the special features. Lots of cast and crew interviews, from a section dedicated to the music composed by Bill Conti. If this was the first movie you saw Pat Morita in, and you were only ten, were you fooled into thinking that he was a Karate expert, and not simply a comedian?! This is the beginning, and it is a classic!
Karate Kid II: I personally thought this was just as good and the original. Miyagi goes to Okinawa for his sick and dying father, and Daniel joins him. As the subtitle states, "The story continues," and Miyagi runs into an old foe, and Daniel confronts a whole new foe in the menacing nephew. Good story, lots of good stuff, great song by Peter Cetera to go along with it, (Glory of Love) and a movie that fans will love for years to come. Not as many special features, but still some good stuff.
Karate Kid III: Back from Okinawa, back in the States! Somebody is looking to get even with Daniel and Miyagi. A grudge match between masters is in the making, and Daniel faces a most ruthless opponent! If you are looking for lots of fights, III definitely dishes them out! By now, the ending is rather obvious. Consider this to be Daniel, with an even bigger attitude. Miyagi's lessons in this are beyond tournaments and trophies, and much more valuable. No real special features in this.
The Next Karate Kid: Out with Ralph Macchio, in with Hilary Swank. Yuck! Ok, it wasn't too terrible. But there was nothing classic about it. Nothing I care to remember about this one really. There are some interesting scenes, but they fade away rather quickly. As the credits roll, you simply say, "Oh well. That's that." And then you put it away. Not a total loss. No real special features.
But hey, this is your collection. You can take it or leave it! It does have everything you could possibly want (or not possibly want) as fare as Karate Kid goes. For the most part, I really enjoy this collection!
gotta love it, 2007-05-24
if you have never seen karate kid, part of your life is missing. just kidding. that's going a little far, but it is a a great set. the third wasn't as good as the first two though. the 4th, with hilary, is good, too.
for Karate Fans Only, 2007-03-25
In my opinion all the Karate Kid DVD Movies are filled with action and entertainment. I like the actor Ralph Macchio. Would recommend this series to anyone who appreciates Martial Arts.

Most enjoyable - the old good always prevails theme presented in a very entertaining way.
