What an exceptional picture. It's one of the very best underdog/inspirational movies of all time. Sony has done a marvelous job with this Blu-ray release. The picture quality is now the absolute finest the movie has ever looked. I highly recommend it. I double dipped.

The movie looks great for it to be 35 years old, and it looks like the studio did its best to clean up the picture; however, there is so much one can do with these films. You will see a grainy image here and there, but keep in mind that this is an old movie getting the UHD treatment. The only gripe I have with it is the lack of extras. There is one featurette with Martin Kove (Kreese), William Zabka (Lawrence), and main man Ralph Macchio (LaRusso) that is under 11 minutes talking about their experiences during the film. Coincidentally, all three are in Cobra Kai (the series), and LaRusso sort of plugs the show for a second. Other than that, the theatrical trailer that if anything, will give you a clear comparison of the UHD film, versus HD (at best, as the quality of the trailer is way lower than the film itself). Must buy? You bet, especially if you grew up on this stuff, and you have the equipment to take advantage of the film quality.

The movie that started it all… before it became the home alone series. A very good film with a great story and message behind it, worth watching if you’re into some martial arts movies or for those who look for the inspiration behind the kung fu panda series
