Karate Kid - OOP?

DeeKay · 01-12-04, 12:38 PM

I saw today that all the Karate Kid series was going OOP. Anyone know if a special edition or box set was in the works? I haven't picked these up yet and was wondering if I should wait or do it now.

I hope there is a re-release on the way, especially for the 1st one. I can't believe the sequels were released in Widescreen and not the 1st one. Here's hoping for a 20th anniversary SE!

yeah, with a retrospective documentary......that would rule, hopefully before Pat Morita dies

a SE Trilogy would be great too, I enjoyed all the flicks!

Not "going", but actually already out-of-print. Copies may still be available in warehouses and store shelves, but Columbia is not shipping any more copies.

crosses fingers, Please put out an SE, In remastered WS, none of this lousy looking FS crap that Columbia is know for,a 2 disc set would be great but as long as it'd look and sound ncie I'd be happy

This looks like a sign that it will be re-released. This movie has such a cult-like following that I can't see them not re-releasing this.

I own all three and they aren't bad at all. Karate Kid 2 & 3 are anamorphic widescreen, and it looks pretty good. Not reference material of course, but quite solid. The sound is DD 2.0 and is adequate. Karate Kid 1 is fullscreen, but still looks decent and the DD gets the job done. I'd go ahead and buy all three! I watch them all the time.
