​ SYNOPSIS Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the coming-of-age classic — from Academy Award®-winning director John G. Avildsen (1976, Rocky) — that will leave you cheering! There is more to karate than fighting. This is the lesson that Daniel (Ralph Macchio), a San Fernando Valley teenager, is about to learn from a most unexpected teacher: Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita in his Academy Award®-nominated performance, Best Supporting Actor, 1984), an elderly handyman who also happens to be a master of the martial arts. His training and these vital lessons will be called into play when an outmatched Daniel faces Johnny (William Zabka), the skilled leader of the Cobra Kai — a vicious gang of karate school bullies — in a no-holds-barred karate tournament for the championship of the Valley.

Aww, Sony! Why are you doing this to me?

It makes me wonder if Sony had a pre-meditated plan to encourage double-dipping on catalog UHD titles by releasing everything with HDR-10 at first then adding Dolby Vision a few years later.

Not to mention adding SteelBook packaging.

Which means that this title will probably get a triple-dip...

This is the triple dip.
1) 35th Anniversary
2)Karata Kid Collection(added Dobly Vision & 4 deleted scenes about 3:15 min)
3)4oth Anniversary(new commentary track & 30 min of dallies)

I only have the 35th anniversary and skipped the collection because I don’t care for any of the other films. I’ll probably end up getting this when preorders open up.

I have to say I’m unlikely to purchase this. I already have the first 3 films in 4Kuhd. And it contains commentary features extras
