AMAZON ITEM OF THE WEEK

The Karate Kid Collection (Four Film Set)

A sizable hit with both teen audiences and sports-themed movie enthusiasts, 1984's The Karate Kid had the right combination of heart and action to spawn three sequels of varying quality between 1986 and 1994; all four features have been packaged together in this three-disc set. Though plot elements varied from film to film, the core story (and the series' greatest strength) remained the same--the relationship between a wise Japanese martial arts teacher (skillfully underplayed by comedian Pat Morita) and his young American student (Ralph Macchio in the first three films, and future Oscar winner Hilary Swank in the final entry, The Next Karate Kid). The messages inherent to each film--finding one's inner strength, trusting your heart--should ring true to new generations of younger viewers.

Ralph Machio.....he was a hottie back when I was in High School. When he was in the "Outsiders" I went and saw it something like 10 times or so.

He's good in the Karate Kid too....but I prefer the Outsiders to date

These movies would make a great Christmas Gift!!
