The latest entry in the Karate Kid series, Karate Kid: Legends, hit theaters last week. The new movie stars Ben Wang as Li Fong, a martial arts protege trained by senseis Daniel Laruso (Ralph Macchio)–star of the original Karate kids films and the recent Cobra Kai TV series–and Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who appeared in the 2010 Karate Kid reboot starring Jaden Smith. Legends bridges the original films and the 2010 reboot into a single continuity–and soon, you’ll be able to grab all six movies, plus a bunch of collectibles, in the upcoming The Karate Kid Ultimate 6-Movie Collection. While no release date has been announced, preorders for the $220 collection are available now exclusively at Amazon.
$220 | Release Date TBA
As the name implies, the The Karate Kid Ultimate 6-Movie Collection bundles all six Karate Kid films into a premium box along with a selection of exclusive merchandise. The six movies in the collection are:
- The Karate Kid (1984)
- The Karate Kid II (1986)
- The Karate Kid III (1989)
- The Next Karate Kid (1994)
- The Karate Kid (2010)
- Karate Kid: Legends (2025)
Each movie in the collection comes in its own case, featuring both 4K UHD and Blu-ray versions on disc, as well as digital download codes. The set also includes a Miyagi-Do headband replica, three dojo patches, 11 trading cards featuring various characters from throughout the franchise, and a special collector’s box that folds out into a pop-up diorama of the final showdown between Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence in The Karate Kid.
We also expect to see bonus content, such as commentaries and behind-the-scenes interviews, but these are not yet listed on the Amazon store page.
$45 | Release Date TBA
If you’re more interested in just securing a copy of Karate Kid: Legends, multiple Blu-ray editions are already up for preorder, despite the movie just recently premiering in theaters, including a 4K Steelbook Collector’s Edition. Like the 6-Movie Collector’s Edition, there’s no release date for the Karate Kid: Legends Blu-rays, but both are planned to release on the same day–whenever that is.
Nevertheless, multiple 4K UHD, standard Blu-ray, and even DVD versions are available to preorder at Amazon. It’s also worth noting that the store pages do not list details such as included bonus features or even the final cover art. We also expect the prices to drop closer to the release date. Luckily, thanks to Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, you can reserve a copy now and won’t have to pay until the order ships, and you will only be charged the lowest price if it changes between now and release.
Karate Kid: Legends Preorders
The Karate Kid series kicked off in 1984 with the original The Karate Kid, in which bullied high school kid Daniel LaRusso befriends karate master Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), who trains Daniel in the philosophy and martial arts style, Miyagi-do, and ultimately faces down his rival Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). The first movie was followed up by two direct sequels starring Macchio. Then, in 1994, The Next Karate Kid sees Mr. Miyagi take on a new pupil, Julie Pierce (Hilary Swank).
The series took a 16 year hiatus from the big screen, as was largely considered finished following the death of Pat Morita in 2005, but was eventually rebooted in 2010 with The Karate Kid, starring Jaden Smith as Dre Parker, a young kid whose family moves to China, and eventually becomes the student of Kung Fu master Mr. Han (Jackie Chan). All five films are included in The Karate Kid 6-Film Collection, along with The Karate Kid: Legends.
The only part of the story missing from The Karate Kid Ultimate 6-Movie Collection is the Netflix series, Cobra Kai. While Daniel LaRusso is the only major narrative tie between Cobra Kai and Legends, there are at least a few minor connections and cameos bridging both stories into a cohesive universe. All six seasons of Cobra Kai are streaming on Netflix.
