From the manufacturer
A teenager learns about life, friendship and courage under the guidance of a martial arts master.
Ralph Macchio stars as Daniel, a teenager whose growing pains are made that much more difficult by his arrival in a new town where he must start from scratch and make new friends. He quickly becomes the target of the Cobras, a menacing gang of karate students, who are less than pleased when he strikes up a relationship with Ali (Elisabeth Shue), the Cobra leader's ex-girlfriend. Eager to fight back and impress his new girlfriend, he begs his handyman, Miyagi (Pat Morita), a martial arts master, to teach him karate. Under Miyagi's wise tutelage, Daniel develops not only the physical skills but also the maturity, faith and self-confidence to compete despite tremendous odds as he encounters the fight of his life in the exciting finale.
Product Description
Product Description
A fatherless teenager faces his moment of truth in The Karate Kid. Daniel (Ralph Macchio) arrives in Los Angeles from the east coast and faces the difficult task of making new friends. However, he becomes the object of bullying by the Cobras, a menacing gang of karate students, when he strikes up a relationship with Ali (Elisabeth Shue), the Cobra leader's ex-girlfriend. Eager to fight back and impress his new girlfriend but afraid to confront the dangerous gang, Daniel asks his handyman Miyagi (Noriyuki 'Pat' Morita), whom he learns is a master of the martial arts, to teach him karate. Miyagi teaches Daniel that karate is a mastery over the self, mind, and body and that fighting is always the last answer to a problem. Under Miyagi's guidance, Daniel develops not only physical skills but also the faith and self-confidence to compete despite tremendous odds as he encounters the fight of his life in the exciting finale to this entertaining film.

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

The BR video quality is pretty good. Not as good as say The Transformers (Megan Fox in HD! But that's for another review...), but pretty good for a 25 year old movie. The colors and crispness are very good (again, not as good as recent movies). During the scene where Daniel catches the fly with the chopsticks, I can see the fishing line that is holding the fly. Not sure if that's visible in the DVD or not since I did not own it, but it's something I looked for when watching the BR disc.
As previously mentioned, the movie has 5.1 DTS sound which really sounds great. While this is not an action film that has explosions, car chases, etc that really show off the best of 5.1 surround, the 5.1 soundtrack really did add to the movie experience and give it a fuller sound. Watching Daniel go through all the Cobra Kai at the tourney (a 4.0 on the Bill Simmons Vengeance Scale), with the "You're the Best!" song playing in 5.1 is awesome.
As far as extras, there is a special "Blu Pop" feature where you can watch the movie with commentary from Ralph Macchio and Billy Zabka and some pop up trivia info. Provides some interesting info about the movie, the characters (you'll hear Zabka explain Martin Kove's perspective on Kreese; Zabka is great during this entire feature), the filming, etc.
Overall, I loved the BR disc and am happy that I held out from buying the DVD. Even though I must've seen this movie about 187 times already (thanks to HBO and Encore and a VHS copy I must've worn out as a kid), viewing #188 was just as good as all but #1.
So I decided to get the versions seperately then get Cobra Kai. The quality on this Blu-Ray is superb, and lives up to its name. The main menu shows scenes from the film as well as some music. You’ll be satisfied with it, I promise. I wish it had “The Moment of Truth” music video by Survivor as a special feature. But I’m not complaining. Being a Song product, this will work on your PS4, and the barcode on the back is compatible with Vudu Disc to Digital, so you can convert it if you’d like. Overall, a great buy. My only real complaint is that the flap on the side of my Blu-Ray case won’t snap shut. But that’s a petty complaint and not worth getting a replacement.
Also the artwork inside and the sunset shot on the back is from Karate Kid Part III, not the first one. I know most people get that confused and it’s a bit annoying, but you can ignore it I guess. Go ahead and buy! 👍🏽👍🏽
