 - GO ROCKY GO!WHAT A GREAT SET OF MOVIES I LIKE THE ONE WITH MR. T AND THEN WHERE HE HAS TO GO OVERSEAS AND FIGHT THERE REMEMBER WHEN MR T WAS ON CEREAL BOXES Rating: - Are you kidding me?I was finally told last week that you could get all of the karate kid movies in one set packed with special features. When I was told this, I hugged the kid working and tipped him $20 bucks for the information. Needless to say, I bought it and was blown away by the purchase price. These are worth at least $150 to me. Let me try to put into words how incredible it is to have these four movies in one collection. I like to eat fried appetizers. This box set is the equivalent of putting breaded cauliflower, breaded mushrooms, fried cheese sticks and chicken tenders on one platter with all of your favorite sauces. The only way to review this is one by one. I spent the entire holiday weekend watching these films a total of 26 times(I watched 1 and 2 nine times to just eight for part 3. I'll explain part four later). Part 1- The best of the best of the best. Ralph Macchio was brilliant in the outsiders and someone in hollywood saw that film and went,"I've got this teen karate movie script and you need to get me Macchio.". Well, they got Macchio and magic was born. I still don't know what angered the Cobra Kai so much about Daniel San, but they just flat didn't like the Jersey kid. I guess I understand a bit because Bon Jovi's attitude kind of rubbed me the wrong way. So he's getting beat up left and right until the Maintenance Man with off the charts karate skills wipes out all of the cobra Kai at once. Anyway, Daniel does chores and in a week or so is a Karate machine himself. He pretty much has to take out the whole Cobra Kai by himself, one at a time, include the black Cobra Kai kid played to perfection by the great Larry B. Scott(Lavar from Revenge of the Nerds). I won't give away the ending but let's just say you won't try that with your girlfriend!! Part 2- Daniel has the respect of everyone in town, but still no friends so he goes to Japan with Myagi. Guess what, more trouble. Some kid in Japan evidentally doesn't like Daniel San either and wants to kill him. What you, the viewer, will realize in this film is that this is not tournament, this real life. Daniel falls in love with a spicy little asian number and helps save people from hurricanes. It all comes down to a showdown between Daniel and Japan karate kid and I won't give away the ending again, but you'd better finish that laundry!!! Part 3- Some people really keep a grudge. Evil Sinsay John Creese of the Cobra Kai is still hacked off that the gangly dork with no friends from New Jersey beat the tar out of all of his guys including Larry B. Scott. Even Dutch got his butt handed to him by Daniel San. Creese's plot for revenge involves a mean karate champ(who seriously would kill Daniel san in real life) and a rich guy with nothing to do. I think the toughest part to watch in the whole four part series is when the karate bully and his friends break Daniel's bansai tree. Daniel cries, his chick cries, and yes, I cry. It's tough to make it through. Well if you want to tick off Daniel San, screw with his bansai tree. It's go time!! I won't give away the ending but let's just say this was Ralph Macchio's last karate kid movie!! Part 4- I don't know why this one was put in the box. The chick that plays the girl that pretends to be a boy is supposedly the Karate kid. I took it back to target and asked why Ralph Macchio is not in the fourth movie. He claimed not to know and made fun of me to a coworker. For whatever reason, Macchio was not in this picture in the box set I bought. Hopefully he's in the one you buy. I didn't watch this one. Rating: - 5 stars Great Movies!!Ok, so let me start off by saying yes, this movie can be KORNY at times, this is one of those movies that if you watched them when you were a kid, you'll charish these movies for your life! I just love this movies soo much, maybe not the Next Krate Kid so much, but all of them send a STRONG message. I will always love these movies. I couldnt say enough about them, I am a BIG martial arts movie fan, no matter how KORNY they might be. Yes including 3 Ninjas and TMNT. Anyway, many people might not understand why people like these movies so much, but like i said you really have to be watch these as you were a kid, or its hard to understand why we LOVE this movies! Go get these movies if you LOVE martial art films. I would prob recommend this movie to KIDS more than Adults first. But GO GET IT! Rating:  - Quite a nice set of movies...So, it is a 3 disc set, not a 4 disc set. The first disc actually contains the first movie, plus the behind the scenes stuff. The second disc has just the second movie, and the third disc has the last two movies (I bet they couldn't sell very many of the 4th movie separately, that's why they put it on the same disc as the 3rd movie). I have always loved the karate kid movies, and I was not happy that they weren't available anywhere. So, when I found the set online for such a reasonable price, I jumped at the chance of getting them. They are classic 80's movies, about a boy coming of age, and finding his own straight path in a crooked world, with the help of a wise older man. I loved Pat Morita in these movies, he does such a good job of being a mentor, combining the fun, with the work, with the humor. When I was younger, I had a crush on Ralph Macchio - oh, was he cute! All in all, a worthy set of movies! Rating: - I need help...Hello! I hope someone can help me out. As all the reviews here have stated, there's nothing much more that I can add about the greatness of these films - especially I and II. But there's something not so clear to me about this boxset. It's been stated that this set contains 4 discs. But it's also said here that III and The Next KK are compressed into one double-sided disc. So what does the other remaining disc contain? Hope someone can help me. Thanks!
