Karate Kid 2 is average, and I hate Karate Kid 3 and 4, so just the first one will be enough for me.

this was on sony.com for a while I'm ready!

can anyone recognize where my sig comes from?

So, has anyone confirmed that this is just a repackage?

No, her left hook! You think she sprained her wrist.....damn i forgot the rest.....was it....playing chess? doing cartwheels?

haha we have a winna!!!!!

but like the guy in the sprite commercial you didn't win nothin'. hehe.

that scene always makes me crack up.. the way he said it.

I thought they were filmed in 1.33:1 aspect and matted in a fake widescreen so that you're actually losing image the from non-widescreen aspect? I remember reading something about it a while back.

Anyways, nice about them being released seperately. I haven't seen the first three since I was a kid and wouldn't mind seeing them again.

This applies not only to Karate Kid, but also thousands of other 1.85:1 films. This is typically how 1.85:1 is achieved and is nothing special or bad.

it is a definite repack of the box set disc...check out the OP

Doing her nails!

LOL. Thanks Geiger!

Fixed.

Ah, newbies.

While I was at first a bit annoyed upon learning they were doing an individual release of these movies after releasing the set, I really don't mind it now. I got the set for $23.74, so even just counting the first three, that's only $7.91 per film. I've never seen the fourth and haven't watched it yet.

And if I were to buy them individually, I'd have to get at least KK I and II. While the first is a classic, I find the second to be the better movie, largely because it doesn't have all that high school angst stuff that's present in the first - and in a few of my other old favorites - that seems kind of silly to my 33-year-old eyes now.

I have #2, so I guess I'll just get #1 rather than the box set.... i don't know if i want to subject myself to the last two given everyone's comments.

don't know if it's worthy of another thread, so i figured i'd post in this one.

picked up the Karate Kid:SE finally last week. for $9.99, it even comes with a karate kid bandana like the one in the movie (look for a big rectangular sticker on specially marked packages). don't remember seeing this bandana offered initially on the single releases?

Wow, that's pretty cool. Where did you get it and can you post a pic?

got my copy at Circuit City. sticker is $14.99, but rang up as $9.99. i didn't notice this anywhere else, but then again, i wasn't actively looking for it until i ran across it there.

am at work now, so don't have access to my stuff. but the bandana is black/white like the one Mr. Miyagi and Daniel wears. comes sealed in a plastic bag inside the dvd keepcase. now i can catch flies with my chopsticks in style!

Cool, I was wondering about the color. Because in the movie it was actually blue/white. But close enough and nice extra for a dvd for sure.

I saw that version with the bandana at a Wal-Mart quite some time back. It was in their $9.44/$13.72 section, but it sold out or was replaced after a short while.
