The Karate Kid Collection (Four Film Set)

I liked it

Hollywood is really running out of ideas. They tried to remake the Karate Kid movie and even used Jackie Chan but nothing is like the original.I'm not going to rehash on the plots or anything like others do. Basically the first 3 movies are a mentor/student relationship that turns into a friendship. It's great for all ages with humor, drama, and a nice amount of Karate action.The 4th movie, The Next Karate Kid was an embarrasement. It tries to bring the same quit witty humor and the audience of the first Karate Kid but also include females. Having a female "Karate Kid" was great but they producers really didn't do a great job with the plot, character developement or anything. If anyone has not seen the first 3 movies, they would really be lost as to Mr. Miagi (sorry about spelling) references to Daniel Son. The producers and writers also jump right into the movie with how he knows this particular woman and everything else. They do not even attempt to have some form of closure to what happen to Daniel Son or where he was.The collection is great. If you are just looking for a good collection of the movies without a lot of extras, such as behind-the-scenes and such then this movie collection is for you. If you are wanting all the other extras, you may find them in a 2 disk set for each movie or another combo set. I like watching the movies more than I do about the behind the scenes. I don't mind some of the behind the scenes or deleted clips once in a while, I just don't like spending a huge amount of money for collections or multi-disk DVDs with them included. This was the perfect collection of the the original 3 and including the 4th movie which I did not like.I give the collection a 5 star because it's all together in a great fashion. No mess, no waste, and no trouble getting the DVDs out or even knowing which movie is on which disk. Each disk is in it's own box. The only thing that I did not like about the 3rd DVD is that it's a double sided DVD with the 3rd and 4th movies; one on each side of the disk. I still give it a 5 star only because I also think the 3rd movie wasn't as great as the first 2 but most definately better than the 4th.

Delivered fast product came as described :)

Excellent

This collection is definitely a must for fellow Karate Kid fans. It is the best collection out there at the moment. It's pretty satisfying but here's what i like to share (i won't discuss the films as everyone knows part 1 is the best, 2 is pretty good and 3 is a joke while 4 is a bonus):Part 1 has the most bonuses, the best being the commentary from the cast and the featurette with new interviews which is interesting to watch, seeing they've all aged and still remember the project. It's not an awfully long feature but it's worth watching. Other than a couple of lame trailers, that's about it. Part 2 has a very short feature and trailers as well. Part 3 and 4 aren't even worth mentioning to be frank. The picture quality of part 2 isn't very good and at times the color is a bit disappointing.One more thing, the packaging and the design of the collection is not very rewarding. I'm not talking about the cover on the front of the collection but the individual covers on the discs. See part 2 and you'll get it. The carton packaging is not very sturdy and could easily be torn.But overall. the films are still fun to watch. It's a lot whole cheesier than it used to be, but at the price they're charging it's certainly worth a buy.Btw, Pat Morita is a great actor. RIP Mr. Miyagi.

While some critics dismiss "The Karate Kid" as a 1980s teen movie, I place it in the same category as such classics as "Star Wars", "Rocky" and "Jaws." It is a beautifully-written, -acted and -directed film that pulls at your heartstrings and makes you cheer. Pat Morita's Mr Miyagi (for which he received an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor) is one the archetypal characters in American film. His relationship with Ralph Maccio's Daniel LaRusso is as genuine and touching as any you will find in film. I remember seeing it in the theater when I was very young and the audience exploding into applause at the final "crane kick" scene. That does not happen very often.The DVD of the entire series is now available (Part 2 is decent but Parts 3 and 4 are not). The best DVD feature is the making-of documentary. It's been 21-years since this film was in theaters and all the major contributors are still alive and in good spirits for the documentary. Everyone involved in the project sees this movie as the pinnacle of their careers (and I agree with them).This is one of my favorite films. I give it my highest recommendation.

The Karate Kid is probably one of the best teenage underdog stories that I have seen. The story was excellent, and Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita brought such chemistry to the unique relationship between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi. Actually, the entire cast in this movie was excellent - Randee Heller was superb as Daniel's mom, and even the actors with smaller parts brought credibility to this movie. I still get chills at the end of this movie. The extras on this DVD were a nice touch as well.The Karate Kid II is the less inspired sequel, but it still has some of the magic from the first one. The third installment was a bit strained - how many different groups of individuals are going to torment Daniel (on two different continents no less), but it is still worth watching.The Next Karate Kid was, in my opinion, uninspired and made me miss the magic of Daniel and Miyagi's relationship.Overall, this four disc set is a must-have for any fan of this series. The movie is a timeless classic that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.

Las 4 películas se ven de maravilla, todas traen doblaje y subtítulos en español. Se ven y se escuchan de maravilla y el set es muy práctico. Es una joya para los fans de Karate Kid.

We a set off you but went done I got them again thanks 😊

Tutti e 4 i film sono da vedere, sia la trilogia con Ralph Macchio, che il quarto on Hilary Swank

Comme en témoigne la photo de l'arrière de la jaquette, la VF et les sous titres français sont bien présents sur le coffret DVD des 4 films en import italien.Je le possède moi-même, les trois premiers disques ne sont pas sérigraphiés (attention aux traces de doigts) et il faut faire avec une qualité d'image du moyen-âge.Il s'agit là de la seule façon d'acquérir les 4 films dans notre langue de Molière puisque les bluray en sont dépourvus. Aucun bonus disponible si ce n'est une bande annonce non sous titrée et des filmographies (l'antiquité quoi).

テレビ放映時の吹替版が入っているということで購入しました。吹替は昔ビデオに録画して何度も観ていたものでしたので懐かしさで感動しました。2も3も懐かしい吹替でしたが、特に1の水島裕さん、久米明さんは一番の配役だと思います。30周年アニバーサリー・コンプリートエディションでは、1作～4作までを収録したそれぞれのディスクと1～3のテレビ吹替版を収録した特典ディスクの計5枚組になっていました。特筆すべきはテレビ吹替版を一枚のディスクに全て納めたことです。1作から4作までは、一枚のディスクに1作品収録されており、字幕版とソフト版の吹替が収録されています。ソフト版の吹替は草尾毅さんや古谷徹さんが主人公のダニエルを担当されたバージョンです。そして、それらにはテレビ放映時の吹替は入っていません。テレビ版はあくまでも特典として付いている5枚目のディスクに纏められています。なぜ、それぞれのディスクにテレビ版を付けず、このような形になったのか。それはテレビ吹替版のディスクを視聴すると分かります。このディスクに収録されている1～3はテレビで放送されたカットされたバージョンがそのまま収められているのです。なので、音声も吹き替えられた日本語バージョンしかありません。これは人によってはがっかりと思うかもしれませんが、私はとても良いと思いました。昨今、吹替に力を入れた販売方法は珍しくありません。懐かしのテレビ吹替がいくつもついて販売されているものも多々あります。ですが、テレビ放送時にカットしてしまったせいで、映画を観ていると途中で吹替から字幕に勝手に切り替わり、また吹き替えに戻るというとても悩ましい仕様の商品も少なくありません。欠落した部分をあとから追加収録し、完全な吹替版に仕上げたという素晴らしいものありますが、古い作品を全てそう出来るかと言われると難しいでしょう。このベスト・キッドのBlu-rayにテレビ版を収録しようと考えられた時にも、同じようなことに悩んだのではないでしょうか。ベスト・キッド1～3の各上映時間はすべて100分を越えていますが、テレビ吹替版の収録時間は93分に統一されています。テレビの2時間枠に収まるようにカット編集されているということです。つまり、本編のディスクにテレビ吹替を収録すると、必ず吹替の欠落が起きてしまいます。そこでいろいろ考えた結果、それぞれのディスクとは別に特典としてテレビ吹替版を、放送された当時のカット編集版のまま収録してしまおうという決断に至ったのではないでしょうか。こうすれば吹替が途切れることもなく、またBlu-rayのセット商品としての付加価値も上げることができます。映画がカットされているという部分に難色を示す人もいるかもしれませんが、カットされていないフル尺バージョンのディスクはそれぞれちゃんと存在します。正式のバージョンを観たければそのディスクを再生すればよいだけです。個人的には、カットされたバージョンを別ディスクに焼いて特典としてつけるという方法は、なかなか面白いやり方だと思いました。吹替が欠落しているという欠点を補いつつ、当時テレビで見ていた頃を思い出せるからです。コスト面からみればあまり良くないのでしょうが、吹替と字幕が頻繁に切り替わってしまうくらいならば、特典としてテレビ放送カット版の吹替ディスクを付けていただけたほうが映画好きの一消費者としては嬉しく思います。その点においても、この「ベスト・キッド」のBlu-rayセットは素晴らしい仕様でした。
