That'd be nice, if we had a way of seeing every film in its original theatrical release. :) I saw Karate Kid three times when it first came out, but I really don't remember the picture well enough to know for sure how close the DVD is 20 years later. The star ratings are always subjective --...

Definitely. Wish I'd seen that.

I am formatting my official review for posting right now -- it will be up within 30 minutes. See you in that thread! :)

Are you sure about that? The first movie is 126 minutes (with multiple audio tracks) and has over 75 minutes of extra features. My guess is that the film is on one layer and the extras are on another. (It's not a flipper.)

Yes, all four films are anamorphic widescreen. Yes, the bitrate is very low for the most part. (Most of the recent Sony discs I've reviewed have actually had rather high bitrates.) No, it's not that noticeable, because there is a large amount of inherent film grain that mostly hides the...

Fair enough! Just wait for it to hit the pre-viewed racks at Blockbuster and Hollywood. They'll sell the discs individually. (But you'd better be quick on the draw for this one!)

The whole set is under $26 at Amazon (and other places might be cheaper). Have you paid over $13 for a disc lately? :) Not to mention the fact that you could trade in or sell the disc with III and IV on it to reduce the price even more (there's your trip to Blockbuster!).

Tamlyn Tomita's not much younger than Ralph Macchio, is she? :)

They are on one disc, but I haven't opened it yet and the box doesn't state whether it's double-sided or both on one side. I'll let y'all know.

All four films are OAR (at least, according to the packaging ;) ). The screener arrived yesterday, and I should have a review up this weekend. The packaging is the same as that used for the Hellboy 3-disc set (solid slipcase with 3 half-thick plastic single-disc cases inside), which I dig. No...

Video stores rent out these sets as individual titles -- like Indy or multi-disc TV sets. Renting just #1 shouldn't be an issue. Karate Kid was the first movie I ever saw 3 times. (Once with my Tae Kwon Do class!)

There is another thread on this subject. The first film is a new special edition with commentary and featurettes -- I am pretty sure that it will be anamorphic widescreen. Note, however, that it will only be available in this set. The existing pan & scan version is still the only way to get the...

Which films are you referring to, exactly? I don't recall Daniel-san starting any fights (didn't see #3 or #4 though). :rolleyes
