The Karate Kid Collection Blu Ray

I was wondering if there are already open source tools or projects that have faced this effort or if there are particular reasons why obtaining karate features from the json exported by POSTMAN should be impossible or not recommended

The first three films in the series follow Daniel LaRusso, who learns to harness karate for good through the eccentric mentorship of a janitor named Mr. Miyagi. In the fourth and final film of the original series, Mr. Miyagi becomes the caretaker of his friend's granddaughter in attempt to steer her away from trouble.
Daniel moves to Los Angeles with his mother, Lucille, and soon strikes up a relationship with Ali. He quickly finds himself the target of bullying by a group of high school students, led by Ali's ex-boyfriend Johnny, who study karate at the Cobra Kai dojo under ruthless sensei, John Kreese. Fortunately, Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi, an unassuming repairman who just happens to be a martial arts master himself. Miyagi takes Daniel under his wing, training him in a more compassionate form of karate for self-defense and later, preparing him to compete against the brutal Cobra Kai.
After discovering that his father is at death's door, Mr. Miyagi sets out to Japan, to see him with Daniel. Upon arriving, Miyagi must confront an old rival. Meanwhile, Daniel encounters a new love, and some new enemies.
Apparently, someone out there saw The Karate Kid III and thought, Gee, that was cruddy, but it wasnt quite absolute garbage. I think I can fix that! Oddly enough, none of those people were John Avildsen, the original trilogys director, Mark Robert Kamen, the writer, Ralph Macchio, the title character, or - perhaps most damning of all - Magnificent Martin Kove. These people must have heard that someone was trying to resurrect the franchise theyd stomped into the ground and thought better of being involved, because what ensued was a little project called The Next Karate Kid.We rejoin our old friend Miyagi (Pat Morita, probably because he wasnt getting calls for anything else) on the east coast this time, Boston specifically. The widow of an old war buddy of his is having a difficult time dealing with her granddaughter Julie (Hilary Swank). Julies parents were killed in a car accident, leaving her alone with the grandmother and a whole lot of anger and angst. Julie causes turmoil at home and she gets in trouble at school. Her grandmother is at the end of her rope. When Miyagi sees how much difficulty the girl and her grandmother are having and the strain on their relationship Julies inner rage is creating, he suggests a plan thats either interesting or very disturbing.He suggests that Julies grandmother leave the house and go take care of the serene gardens at Casa Miyagi back in southern California while he looks after Julie. Apparently, Julies grandmother agrees that its a great idea for her to leave her home indefinitely and leave her emotionally unstable, hormone-raging, attractive granddaughter in the care of a man shes likely seen half a dozen times in her life. Where does Miyagi get the money to live and to support this child? Did he sell Mr. Miyagis Little Trees to his old life partner Daniel? Well never know, since Daniel-San is never mentioned in the film, a sign of this one completely disowning the former franchise, or vice versa. Guess it was a bitter break up.It wouldnt be a Karate Kid movie without the appearance of the Cobra Kai, right? Exactly. Everyones favorite pugnacious band of thugs and their immortal leader Kreese have been supplanted by a group even less credible and twice as cruel: the Alpha Elite. At least I could picture a Cobra Kai type of dojo actually existing in reality, led by some mildly deranged guy teaching his kids some questionable values. At least the Cobra Kai looked like kids. Not so with the Alpha Elite.The Alpha Elite is apparently an extracurricular activity, like field hockey or the chess club, only this is a militia. Apparently their mandate is to keep the school in line by any means necessary, mainly through terrorizing and brutalizing the student bodyand to stay in school until youre at least 25, because I swear their leader Ned (Michael Cavalieri) doesnt look a day under 30. Their leader is no Kove, either. They report to the sinister Colonel Doogan (Michael Ironsides, the poor mans Kove) as he leads them in after school exercises like Teacher Physically Pounds Students and Bungee Jump Into the Prom. This is subsidized by taxpayers and approved by the superintendent? Can someone give viewers a little credit, please?After Julie rebukes Neds advances and his romantic proposal to take her down to the docks, he wants vengeance. They set Julie up for a fall with a B&E rap when she tries to take care of the hawk she keeps on top of the school. I dont know why she doesnt just move it to her home but this is the last straw for Julie. Colonel Doogan issued an ultimatum to her, in front of the principal. Shes summarily suspended from school, and now shes Miyagis problem.Miyagis solution? Transport this minor who is not his relative to some mysterious Buddhist monastery. Here, he hopes Julie will learn serenity, focus, discipline and introspection through Eastern cultural influences and his karate lessons. Once again, we see that Westerners are painfully unfamiliar with regards to the Eastern culture, even when immersed in the surroundings. Julie will try to kill a living thing in the monks monastery, shell make all kinds of noise running through their garden, and perhaps most ridiculous of all, shell teach the monks to like The Cranberries. Why is it that any fish out of water story somehow features an American teaching some other cultures how to boogie?When Julie returns to school, she faces her demons and triumphs over adversity, blah blah blah. Strangely enough, this doesnt feature a signature karate move like the original films did, which leaves it feeling like an unpunctuated sentence. Okay, the praying like a praying mantis before striking the coup de grace is sort of a move, I guess, but its no power bitch slap. Thats not the real problem, though. The film - director Christopher Cain and writer Mark Lee specifically - sees fit to cram in ridiculous situation after ridiculous situation, including but not limited to monks driving to Boston, monks learning to bowl, Miyagi using the healing hands on a bird, Julie releasing the hawk into the wild, Miyagi teaching Julie to waltz using karate, Julie beating up a guy clearly 130 pounds bigger than her, Miyagi shopping for a dress, and a teacher condoning the destruction of a students car. I swear, my eyes actually got sore from rolling in disdain as often as they did.If Karate Kid III is really just a direct-to-video movie, then The Next Karate Kid is a glorified after-school special. The performances are all one note, but that note doesnt have the charm of even the third installment, much less the first two. Julie, her 34 year old love interest Eric (Chris Conrad), Doogan and his thugs are all just cardboard cutouts, completely one note and unfathomable as actual people. Downfalls like this one are the kind that force my brain into question mode, only exacerbating how frustratingly stupid this story is. Thankfully, everyone involved except for Swank, including Pat Morita, seems to have been banished by the movie gods to films version of the Phantom Zone: direct-to-basic-cable movies, where they belong. Among the questions that started to arise about two thirds of the way through The Next Karate Kid, long after Id realized that this was indeed an absolutely awful movie: what was the driving force behind this dirtloaf? What was the actual reason that it exists? I couldnt imagine that it would be money, since its not like Karate Kid III cleaned up at the box office. It certainly wasnt driven by narrative, as I cant recall anyone saying Whatever became of Daniel and Miyagi? after the third film. Its still a mystery, but feel free to play the game with yourself as you subject your poor eyes to this pathetic tripe.Thank goodness this is the last Karate Kid.The DVD Grades: Picture B-/ Audio C+/ Bonus D-The Next Karate Kid appears in an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 on this double-sided, double-layered DVD and have been anamorphically enhanced for 16X9 televisions.The Next Karate Kid actually looks a little bit better then III from a video perspective, once again showing the benefits of the younger, less-viewed print, and also thanks in part to the fact that this installment has a more interesting scenery in the monastery. This one has a lot more daytime shots than any other film in the series. Clarity is just as good as we saw in III, but the greens and purples of the fields at the bucolic Buddhist monastery really liven up the color palette more than any other sequence in the entire set. Im not saying the colors are as rich a, say, Mulholland Drive by any means. This still looks like a television program (rightfully so, as already mentioned), but the level of dirt and artifacting is still the lowest of the four movies.Audio-wise, The Next Karate Kid is yet another example of a blas workmanlike Dolby Surround 2.0 track. Unfortunately, we see a downturn in stereophonic effects thanks to a boring sound design. The best this film seems able to conjure up is a minor localization effect when the Alpha Elite blows up Erics car. Just citing that scene makes me vomit in my mouth - good lord this movie was horrible! Clarity is just fine without being exemplary, with dialogue reproduction taking center stage as usual. Even Bill Contis work sounds tired and like hes walking through it, but at least the actual audio on it is CD-clear. Like I said with the last installment, I wish there was more material to mine here, more to opine on about the soundtrack, but there really just isnt. It works - no less, no more.Once again theres very little in the extras department. Just the same trailers for The Karate Kid and The Karate Kid II. What, Swank wouldnt do a feature length commentary? Too big for that now? Harumph.Note that The Next Karate Kid - and its disc-mate The Karate Kid III - is only available as part of the three disc set The Karate Kid Collection, which also includes The Karate Kid and The Karate Kid II. Its because of this condition that the millions of fans who loved The Karate Kid will also subject their DVD collections to the undeniable shame that is The Next Karate Kid. If this movie were sold on its own, the Amazon.com sales rank would probably be 104,311, and it would still be too high. Id be shocked if consumers who dont have kids ever watch The Next Karate Kid even once. Wait for it on The Hallmark Channel if you must. Otherwise, let it languish on your shelf and if you get angry about having to own it, remind yourself, The grass is green, the sky is blue.
