Just kidding. Bill Conti is always top-notch.

Wait a minute. there was a next karate kid???? was there some sort of "passing of the torch" between ralph macchio and whoever starred in this "gem" of a film????

The next Karate Kid was Hillary Swank. by Nice Marmot	Mar 12th, 2007 12:57:29 PM
Somewhat more successful than the original Karate Kid.
What the fug? by RenoNevada2000	Mar 12th, 2007 01:01:21 PM
KARATE KID gets a four-disc CD set but Atlantic cancels their plans for a multi-disc BLUES BROTHERS set because they don't think it would sell?!!??! This blows big monkeys.
Limited edition of 2500 by Jor-El23	Mar 12th, 2007 01:06:17 PM
because they probably won't even sell that much. Who in their right mind would buy this? Especially since the last two Karate Kid movies sucked and the best part of the first one is all the bad/great 80s music. What the hell? Is the Karate Kid saga really known for it's music? We're not talking about Star Wars, or Indiana Jones or even Lord of the Rings. It's like someone putting out a 4 disc set of all the fine music from the Revenge of the Nerds movies. Jesus.

No way dude, the guy's partying it up at the Playboy Mansion!
The best Karate Kid has to be Val Armorr by SpyGuy	Mar 12th, 2007 01:17:12 PM
Legion of Super-Heroes...Awwwww, yeah... Still love that ROBOT CHICKEN take, though. "Daniel-San, clean up on aisle seven..."
WHAT ABOUT THE CLASSIC GHEORGHE ZAMFIR PAN-FLUTE STUFF? by Pound Sand	Mar 12th, 2007 01:21:11 PM
Wow, this CD set is for hardcore KK fans, and Bill Conti apologists only. As has been pointed out, give me the pop soundtrack any day of the week. Cruel Summer, Feel the Night (the Golf N' Stuff love montage) and the Joe "Bean" Esposito Behemoth hit, "YOU"RE THE BEST !! (AROUND, AND NOTHING'S EVER GONNA KEEP YOU DOWN)"
Hillary Swank. gotta eat! by Engelhast	Mar 12th, 2007 01:21:34 PM
Seriously...someone give her a cheeseburger or something.
next karate kid by rdsxfan8	Mar 12th, 2007 01:24:23 PM
yeah I know Im slacking and somehow missing this steaming pile of shite..... oh well. and i actually thought the thread said karate kid 4 and was wondering who was gonna play mr miaggi since moritas dead and all. maybe george takei would fill in, but a man can only dream I guess. hahahhaahah
ralph macchio sighting by rdsxfan8	Mar 12th, 2007 01:26:07 PM
the last time I saw him he was at the playboy mansion than he was playing softball in a "Beer League" with artie lange. oh how the mighty have fallen. I hope he remembers to "wax on and wax off" when hes done detailing my car at the wash next time. that stuff leaves streaks if not handled properly.
I want a remake by MC Vamp	Mar 12th, 2007 01:33:59 PM
"The Shaolin Kid" starring Jake Lloyd as a bullied teen who trains under the watchful eye of a mysterious Japanese handyman played by Method Man. Hilarity ensues.
Miyagi Rattles Bones! by triplefive	Mar 12th, 2007 01:41:37 PM
best soundtrack song name EVER!
Bummer that by Marillion	Mar 12th, 2007 01:44:46 PM
They're not including that Peter Cetera gem from the 3rd movie.. "I'll be a man, who would fight for your honor"... Indeed... Shouldn't he be reuniting with Chicago any day now?
No Glen Medeiros! by Lone Fox	Mar 12th, 2007 01:57:40 PM
Best leave that to rot on the KK3 vinyl I 'borrowed' from my brother many years ago. Though the score is worth getting, I'm with some of the above- Joe Espsito's 'You're The Best' is all I need. Er, have. FIGHT!
SWEEP THE LEG JOHNNY! by Mike_D	Mar 12th, 2007 02:03:59 PM

Where's "You're the Best Around"? by rbatty024	Mar 12th, 2007 02:04:25 PM
This is bullshit! You're the best around, no one's ever gonna keep you down!
Hey Jor-El23 by Darth Fart	Mar 12th, 2007 02:13:07 PM
It's limited because of the costs involved. Why are you bitching? There's market for everything! So, you don't like it, well, others do. A lot of music in films is buried in the sound mix. So, it's not Indy or Star Wars, sounds (pun not intended) like you don't watch anything but blockbuster movies.
Ralph Machio- last seen, still looks the same by Mike_D	Mar 12th, 2007 02:13:45 PM

These 35- to 40-minute scores are bullshit... by Roguewriter	Mar 12th, 2007 02:22:18 PM
I love Varese Sarabande... I must own 25-30 of their soundtracks... but I'm past the point where I'm willing to pay top dollar for a 35-minute "score." Lamentably, the days of full, rich, two-disk scores by John Williams and the like seem to be falling further and further behind us. Nowadays, every other movie is just punctuated by some lame-ass Mudvayne track or the latest from DJ Skribblewifcrayons. You damn kids today. =)
Karate Kid soundtrack? MEH!! by Fecal Debris	Mar 12th, 2007 02:32:25 PM
"The Karate Kid is another of the quintessential scores from the 80s that everyone remembers.." Uh, it is? Yeah, maybe if somebody hummed it for me, I'd remember it. It's not exactly the same as the theme from "Rocky," which Conti also did. I just don't see this news as a big whoop. Even if it were about the soundtrack for "Rocky," it wouldn't be a big deal. Who's thinking about the Karate Kid these days? Much less the music from the films.
Macchio is an Editor for Marvel Comics by George Newman	Mar 12th, 2007 02:47:50 PM
He edits for some of X-Men books.
Not the same Macchio, sir. by Roguewriter	Mar 12th, 2007 03:13:51 PM
That is all.

"wax on wax off" by rdsxfan8	Mar 12th, 2007 04:12:04 PM
i was looking on youtube for a video of "your the best" and i found this lil item here. http://youtube.com/watch?v=WbY Bb9D6cdg I guess theres a documentary about people who call themselves Ultimate karate kid fans and how this movie has changed their lives. one kid even went in search of other lovers of this film..... man this is pathetic now if you'll excuse me Im late for the star trek convention..
I totally fell by sHapesHiftinLizard	Mar 12th, 2007 04:46:41 PM
in lust/love the first time i saw some of the next karate kid on tv when i was up at a friends house gettin wasted. Was totally shocked when Swank got famous. Taped it the next time it was on and told no-one. Was there music? All i heard was groaning and the ripping of trouser fabrics.
Future Help by Bono Luthor	Mar 12th, 2007 05:05:21 PM
No, it isn't. Lamest AICN story EVER!
I've read some nerdy shit on this site... by squarefoot	Mar 12th, 2007 05:15:55 PM
but this absolutely takes the cake. Holy crap you need to reexamine your life if you are excited about the soundtrack for Karate Kid.
1 and 2 by caravaggio	Mar 12th, 2007 05:23:04 PM
are the only ones worth getting grass is green sky is blue
Part 3 was the best by TheLastAngryMan	Mar 12th, 2007 05:30:44 PM
Ime sure i read somewhere that Steven Segal was lined up to play the part of John Kreese, or it might have been Terry Silver. Either way, it would have made a much more enjoyable film, watching Segal getting his ass kicked by Mr Myogi. Also Part 3 was the best.
TheLastAngryMan by Cleyu	Mar 12th, 2007 05:37:46 PM
Chuck Norris was going to play Kreese but he didn't want Karate to be shown in a bad way and turned it down.
Cleyu by TheLastAngryMan	Mar 12th, 2007 05:44:32 PM
Yeh, i remember hearing that from somewhere too, it might have been Terry Silver then. Anyway, bad move for Norris, i bet KK did more buisness than any of his 'Karate shown in a good way' films. What a shitwit.
YEAH, I'M ON MINUTE MAID!!! by wackybantha	Mar 12th, 2007 06:45:27 PM
LET'S ALL MEET AT GOLF 'N' STUF!!!
Fun fact: Sadists like to listen to this in one sitting by TallBoy66	Mar 12th, 2007 07:07:59 PM
-they find its a good way to prepare for watching the extended edition of Peter Jackson's "KING KONG"
I liked part 4 better what it was called by punto	Mar 12th, 2007 07:13:43 PM
The Millon Dollar Baby. This is why the story is up, right? because the chick ended up winning a bunch of oscars?
"You're a pushy little bastard, ain't ya? But I like that!" by Wyatt Wingfoot	Mar 12th, 2007 08:06:30 PM
Martin Kove rawked as Kreese.
Karate Kid Part II has some beautiful music, actually by enrique_o_k2000	Mar 12th, 2007 10:07:34 PM
The love theme (and I'm not talking Peter Cetera) in the score was great. Looking forward to this.
ScoreKeeper: I need your help! Honestly! by thebearovingian	Mar 12th, 2007 11:05:56 PM
For the longest time I have wanted to get my hands on the score/ soundtrack for the movie Mr. Wonderful (early 90's with Matt Dillon and Annabella Sciorra). Commence laughter. I'll give you a second to regain your composure. There is this one recurring theme in the movie that I have always wished to have on a cd but have never been able to find a soundtrack. I guess as a last resort I could rip the audio from the DVD but I don't want to hear the dialogue with the music. Any ideas? Thanks.
Where's Bananarama and You're the Best? by Granteralus	Mar 12th, 2007 11:11:57 PM
They would fit nicely in between those pan flute sections.
"Pushy little bastard" line by finky089	Mar 13th, 2007 01:47:06 AM
Ha ha ha! Kudos to you, dude. As much as I enjoy movie scores, I have to admit not being able to recall much of anything orchestral from these films (never saw Karate Swank 4, though.) Just gimme some "You're the BEST AROUND"!!
"Daniel, what's wrong?" by finky089	Mar 13th, 2007 01:55:41 AM
NOTHING!!!!
Best KK? Part 2 by Doc_Strange	Mar 13th, 2007 04:26:00 AM
I really like part one as well but for me part 2 upped the stakes with life and death. The guy who played Chozen was kickass, like he would kick your ass in real life. Plus the Okinowan backdrop was awesome and the final battle taking place in the temple was great and well choreographed. Part 3 was cool but could have been a lot better. I think that Thomas Ian Griffith was well cast as Terry Silver. The problem with the movie, in my opinion was that Daniel didn't have to fight to get to the finals, that he only had to fight Barnes. To me that was dumb, I would have liked to have seen a montage with different participants like in the first film and also the evolution of Daniel's karate. Had that been introduced into the film, I think it would have been much sweeter.
PAIN DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DOJO DOES IT?!! by Doc_Strange	Mar 13th, 2007 04:28:09 AM
NO SENSEI!! DEFEAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DOJO DOES IT?!! NO SENSEI!! FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DOJO DOES IT?!! NO SENSEI!! PAIN DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DOJO DOES IT?!! Martin Kove rocked as Kreese.
I love you scorekeeper. by Seph_J	Mar 13th, 2007 06:34:27 AM
And I love the Karate Kid.
squarefoot is an idiot. Let me remind you of his post: by Seph_J	Mar 13th, 2007 06:56:42 AM
"i've read some nerdy shit on this site but this absolutely takes the cake. Holy crap you need to reexamine your life if you are excited about the soundtrack for Karate Kid" You are a cock. Watch the first Karate Kid again - yes the famous beach training bit - and tell me you dont think that music warrants a release. You cock.
"Kare wa Dame-da" by veritasses	Mar 13th, 2007 10:28:14 AM
It's the 2nd thing in Japanese that Miyagi says to the ref before the big tournament in KK1 that Liz Shue translates as "He says you're very kind". It actually translates to "He's (referring to the ref) no good". Just some KK trivia.
"You're the Best" rocks out with its cock out by Little Beavis	Mar 13th, 2007 09:34:25 PM
miyagido, bitches
council estate blues by council estate scumbag	Mar 14th, 2007 09:35:33 AM
on my estate we'd beat up that karate kid for sure. no one gets to that age and remains a wimp. needs to toughen up a bit. we'd tie him to a block of flats and throw rotten vegetables and faeces at him. then he'll learn. it never did me any harm
Some People Actually Care by Croweyes1121	May 14th, 2007 11:15:37 AM
I just love the haters around here. What do you people do, just cruise the site until you find a story that looks crappy to you just so you can go post something negative? Just because something's not memorale to you personally doesn't mean that people don't remember it. Also, who cares if the series went way downhill after Part II? Does the music have to suck in a film just because the movie blows? Some people are interested in seeing these scores get released if, for no other reason, they deserve to be preserved in some form. If any of you were actually fans of music, movies or either, you might have some understanding of that.
