Packaged well. It works

Older movies from the 80s and 90s will never be in HD or 4k. It is a waste of mo ey bit nice for nostalgic reasons.

Good movie

Like the price and that I found it on Amazon at a great price.

Karate Kid is a classic coming of age story. Ralph Macchio as Daniel and his single mother Lucille LaRusso (Randee Heller) move from New Jersey to Reseda, California. His first friend at his new school is Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue) which draws the anger of her ex-boyfriend Johnny (William Zabka). Johnny in turns starts picking on Daniel and beating him up. That leads him to turn to his apartment supervisor Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) for help. Miyagi teaches him the art of self-defense that leads to a classic final confrontation with Johnny at a Karate competition.

It’s Mr. Miyagi that walks away with the movie. He teaches patience, talking through problems, and wants to avoid fighting. He’s only pushed to training Daniel after he sees what kind of teacher Johnny has. He emphasizes aggression and no mercy. The dichotomy between the two men and styles is what drives the story. It also really lets Morita shine in the part. He’s the wiseman to the upstart kid and the evil villains.

The training Miyagi puts Daniel through is one of the most iconic parts of the film with his phrase “wax on, wax off.”

Likewise the school Johnny belonged to Cobra Kai has gone down in film history as total jerks.

This movie is still great with a memorable good vs evil confrontation in high school.

Liked the movie

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..!!

Glad to have a copy of this classic in 4K. Too bad the case is busted upon arrival.
