The Karate Kid I & II Blu-ray Review

August 5th, 2012 By David Scarborough

What can be said about The Karate Kid that hasn’t been said somewhere – and, let’s face it, better – before? That the underlining story is one of an old Asian pervert grooming a defenceless youngster for his own twisted gratification.

Yeah, nobody has said that before.

That’s probably because it’s complete rubbish. The Karate Kidis one of those films that it is literally impossible to watch without the warm haze of rose-tinted spectacles and it’s all the better for it. So, are the adventures of Daniel-san and Mr. Miyagi worth a punt on Blu-ray?

We’ve collectively cried about how Hollywood has bent over our childhood memories, stroked their hair and whispered that it’ll all be over soon. It’s an unrelenting trend that isn’t likely to end.

Take this month’s The Karate Kid remake, starring Jackie Chan and pint-sized Will Smith, a film that not only seems wrong but isn’t even about Karate, given Chan’s Kung-Fu background.?’We’d rather have?a crane kick anyday,’ we snorted…well now you can too!

Weekend Box Office: Karate Kid Out-Biebers The A-Team

June 13th, 2010 By Stuart Heritage

Weekend Box Office. Reboots of beloved 1980s franchises. Two enter. Only one can win. So who will it be?

The Karate Kid, obviously. Didn’t you read the headline? Seriously, sometimes we wonder why we’re even here. Anyway, the great memory-raping franchise reboot sage of 2010 has finally come to pass, with the new Karate Kid going head to head with the new A-Team. And for some reason, even though it doesn’t star anyone called Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and The A-Team does, The Karate Kid came out on top. Maybe it’s because he’s not scared of aeroplanes. That’s right, we said it. Did you hear that BA Baracus, you big fictional bellend?

Anyway, the US weekend box office top five is after the jump…
