Movie Reviews of The Karate Kid

Movie Review: Nice to see....
Summary: 5 Stars

Nice to see that they put "3" and the "next karate kid" on one disc... I feel less wasteful throwing those away, because let's face it.. they don't count.
Plus, this is cheaper than buying 1 and 2 separate.

Summary of The Karate Kid

In this exhilarating drama an elderly karate expert teaches his art to a teen being threatened by a vicious gang of toughs in his new town. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 07/24/2001 Starring: Ralph Macchio Run time: 127 minutes Rating: Pg

John G. Avildsen not only directed Rocky, he tried remaking it over the years in a dozen different ways. One of them was this popular 1984 drama about a new kid (Ralph Macchio) in town targeted by karate-wielding bullies until he gets a new mentor: the handyman (Pat Morita) from his apartment building, who teaches him self-confidence and fighting skills. The screen partnership of Macchio's motor-mouth character and Morita's reserved father figure works well, and the script allows for the younger man to develop sympathy for the painful memories of his teacher. But the film's real engine, as with Rocky, is the fighting, and there's plenty of that. Elisabeth Shue is on board as the girl the klutzy Macchio dreams of winning. --Tom Keogh
