Where were you 27 years ago?

Lately I am all over anything the Karate Kid.  First, let's get one thing out of the way: one of the best movies ever.  But even if you don't agree, you must check out this "movie trailer" from FunnyOrDie.com.  It's been around for some time now (over 2 million hits), and it will re-kindle your heart guaranteed, all the way back to the glory days of 1984 when the PG classic first hit the screens.  (Wow.  27 years.)

To emphasize my point, I also checked out the "Special Edition" DVD of the movie from my library--just to see the awesome collection of special features.  I often love viewing the "behind the scenes" mini-documentaries about movies as much as the films themselves, and "the making of" featurette for the Karate Kid comes in not one, not two, but four parts.  Movie lovers paradise!

Incidentally, the director of the Karate Kid, John G. Avildsen, also directed Rocky.  That'll be my guilty pleasure for next week.
