The Karate Kid petition

Find Your Magali · August 18, 2003, 02:32:52 PM

OK, this isn't terribly crucial cinephile news, but a very important petition for those of us who grew up in the 80s.

This is a link for an online petition asking, in part, for a release of a new DVD for "The Karate Kid." Right now, we are stuck with a crappy full-screen version with no special features.

Clearly, we need a commentary track with Pat Morita, Ralph Macchio, Elizabeth Shue and William Zabka.

Clearly, we need Bananarama's "Cruel Summer" video

Clearly, we need a retrospective documentary on the power of this film.

Clearly, we need deleted scenes and outtakes.

Let's help make it happen.

I'm suprised they havn't brought out the Karate kid series on dvd yet. It's just plain dumb of them.

You could try getting the Region2. Original aspect, but the features arent upto much.

I read somewhere that the studio will release this as a box set with all of the movies. Sometime in mid 2004... hrm...

Well, I'm just glad this thread got bumped back to its rightful place at the top.

But I can't believe I forgot to vote for this film in the Dekapenticon!

I couldn't bring myself to buy a boxed set. 3 sucks and 4 suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuks. I do agree that decent editions of 1 and 2 are a must.
