    I already had all five movies but bought this 5 dvd set as a gift, the price was too good to pass; now Sony did find
    ways to save money; in the box set of the first 4 movies I have (I bought Jaden Smith's 2010 remake in Blue Ray separately), each movie has it's own slim case with artwork and labels and all are both in English and French, though I prefer viewing them in the original English version.

    In this 5 DVD version, the discs are all bunched one on top of the other, some have labels (1 and 4), others don't, which is not a good idea since it doesn't say which one is Ralph Macchio and Jaden Smith on the disc; no big deal
    since they arrived in good shape and the extra features on volume one are still there.

    ”Both Ralph Macchio-Pat Morita and Jaden Smith-Jackie Chan's versions are great; my favorite is Karate Kid 2 because of their trip to Okinawa, same for the remake which was filmed in China; Although I always will have a sweet spot for Macchio (and Kobra Kai series which is excellent), I'm very impressed by Jaden Smith's performance, the choreographed combats are stunningly impressive, they even film on the great Wall of China...and there is no John Creese (whom I loathe) to get in this version, which is very respectful of the original script).

    Al in all, for the price and good video quality as well as the entertainment value, 5 movies for $10 is a great deal.
