The Karate Kid [Blu-ray] [4K UHD]

Great 80's movie

Classic movie.

I liked seeing the deleted never before seen dailies on the new 4k release since it's been 40 years, there's about 4 few scenes that were found and we see several takes of those scenes from different angles being filmed. We see Daniel eating Doritos talking to his mom in one new scene about her job. The new commentary on the disc is fun also from the Cobra Kai creators, they share their love and how they were inspired to make the show. They're easy-going guys so it's a fun listen. The other extras are all here too so this is a solid purchase. There's also a few other deleted scenes that were released previously.

Beautiful movie from the 80s, watching it in UHD 4k is like watching it again with stable colors and excellent sharpness that makes it not look like a movie from so many years ago. If you are a collector and you like this type of movie, it is totally recommended.

I have loved this movie ever since watching for the first time as child in the 80's. However, I had held out on adding it to my personal movies collection because the DVD did NOT offer 5.1 sound. WTH?!? So when I saw the Blu Ray for sale (and it has DTS), I jumped at the chance.The BR video quality is pretty good. Not as good as say The Transformers (Megan Fox in HD! But that's for another review...), but pretty good for a 25 year old movie. The colors and crispness are very good (again, not as good as recent movies). During the scene where Daniel catches the fly with the chopsticks, I can see the fishing line that is holding the fly. Not sure if that's visible in the DVD or not since I did not own it, but it's something I looked for when watching the BR disc.As previously mentioned, the movie has 5.1 DTS sound which really sounds great. While this is not an action film that has explosions, car chases, etc that really show off the best of 5.1 surround, the 5.1 soundtrack really did add to the movie experience and give it a fuller sound. Watching Daniel go through all the Cobra Kai at the tourney (a 4.0 on the Bill Simmons Vengeance Scale), with the "You're the Best!" song playing in 5.1 is awesome.As far as extras, there is a special "Blu Pop" feature where you can watch the movie with commentary from Ralph Macchio and Billy Zabka and some pop up trivia info. Provides some interesting info about the movie, the characters (you'll hear Zabka explain Martin Kove's perspective on Kreese; Zabka is great during this entire feature), the filming, etc.Overall, I loved the BR disc and am happy that I held out from buying the DVD. Even though I must've seen this movie about 187 times already (thanks to HBO and Encore and a VHS copy I must've worn out as a kid), viewing #188 was just as good as all but #1.

This is one movie that I have probably seen more than 15 times over 20 years,. !! The cast, the script, the locations and of course the timing was ,., spot on when it was filmed. Can you imagine anyone else playing Mr. Miyagi Or Daniel Larusso..? I know that a younger generation has discovered this feature,.because it stands the test of time. Ralph will always be the "Karate kid" ..even though they had a female play over 20 years ago. That certain female won two Oscars ... As every one has said.. Every young boy ,who's being raised in a single parent household. Deserves a mentor like Pat's character . So that he can avoid the pitfall's in life. Such as "bullying,drugs,jail and death. Karate like the military instill's discipline and help's establishes core values. Boys who eventually become Men will need a path to follow in life..that will guide them into making better decisions. Joining and Gangs,selling drugs and re-current run-ends with the law won't offer you nothing but a ..life in prison. Nor will walking into a school with a loaded gun and mowing down a bully,his friends and other random victims . This movie isn't for boys alone..young girl's and other older adults have these encounter's as well.. This is the perfect "Under-dog" film of all time..!!

The original is still the best of the series. Great family entertainment. Yeah, the hairstyles are really dated!

I WISH TO APOLOGIZE TO THE SENDER/SELLER , AND RE-WRITE MY REVIEW; I WAS ANGRY 2 OR 3 DAYS AGO WHEN I WROTE AS IT WAS ALMOST ONE MONTH SINCE I HAD BOUGHT AND ORDERED THE 4K OF "KARATE KID 4K". AMAZON SAID THEY WERE GOING TO AND WANTED TO GIVE ME A REFUND; WE FIGURED THIS ITEM WOULD NEVER ARRIVE. WELL, IT ARRIVED MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2023 , AFTER ORDERING-BUYING MARCH 3O or 31, 2023. IT WAS STUCK IN LIMBO FOR WEEKS. 4K DISC IS EXCELLENT, NO PROBLEM, PLAYS VERY WELL. Seller is good, guess maybe not seller's fault...?? maybe post office's fault?? anyway, seller is good, would use seller again. Others should use seller too. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Let me know how I can "fix" this, update my review, give good review, and delete my nasty review from other day. Thanks.
