When I first saw this film as a kid, I fell in love with it. The storyline is so-so, but the performances and characters were just so awesome - who could forget Mr. Miyagi! It's great for younger boys who can relate to Daniel, and the films also teach good morals.
The special features for the box set are limited to some audio commentary by the main characters, but fortunately it's some good stuff. If you're a fan, its great to be able to see how they are in real life, and none of them seem to degenerate into meaningless chit-chat. So, commentary ++!
In conclusion, a must for those who love the karate kid films. Great special features, all films in DVD quality in one place...too much for me to resist.
