All ten episodes from the third season of the martial arts saga starring Ralph Macchio and William Zabka. Set three decades after the plot of 'The Karate Kid' (1984), the series follows Johnny Lawrence as he opens the Cobra Kai dojo in an attempt to atone for his past. When his former rival Daniel LaRusso returns, struggling to cope on his own after the death of his mentor, he takes in Johnny's estranged son Robby in the hopes of passing on the teachings of his late friend. In this season, Johnny is struggling to cope following Miguel's accident. Meanwhile, the aftermath of the violent school brawl places the future of the All-Valley Karate Tournament in doubt.
Extended cut of Francis Ford Coppola's tale of gang rivalries in 1960s Tulsa, Oklahoma. Based on the novel by S.E. Hinton, the story depicts the ongoing feud between the rich middle-class 'Socs' and the working-class 'Greasers' from across town, which include 14-year-old Ponyboy Curtis, his brothers Darrel and Sodapop and 16-year-old Johnny Cade. The simmering feud escalates into murder, revenge and betrayal when some of the Greasers get too close to one of the Socs' girlfriends.
When Stan Lee first pitched the idea of Spider-Man in 1962, his boss was full of objections: People hate spiders. Teenagers aren't lead characters; they're sidekicks. He should be glamorous and successful, not a friendless loser. But Stan persisted and Martin Goodman let him give the unlikely hero a tryout in Amazing Fantasy, which was already slated for cancellation. With Spider-Man on the cover, No. 15 shot to the top of Marvel's best-seller list for the year, and the rest is history. Amazing Spider-Man, which debuted seven months later, broke the comics mold. Peter Parker lived in uncool Queens, was always broke, continually worried about his Aunt May, was unlucky in love, and was constantly getting yelled at by his boss, Daily Bugle publisher J. Jonah Jameson. Spider-Man had the quips and confidence that Parker lacked, but learning to use his powers wasn't always easy. He often seemed on the verge of defeat against the rogue's gallery of classic foes that debuted in the first couple of years: Vulture, Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Lizard, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and the Green Goblin. Much of the credit for Spider-Man's greatness goes to co-creator and artist Steve Ditko, who had a knack for portraying teenagers and their problems. His artwork infused Spider-Man with a loose-limbed energy, and, while maybe everyone was scared of spiders, Ditko made swinging through New York seem like the coolest adventure ever. This XXL-sized collector's dream, close in size to the original artworks, features the first 21 stories of the world's favorite web slinger from 1962-1964. Rather than recolor the original artwork (as has been done in previous decades' reprints of classic comics), TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing-as if hot off of a world-class 1960s printing press. Three different paper stocks, including an uncoated and woodfree paper, were exclusively developed for this series to simulate the feel of the original comics. With an in-depth historical essay by Marvel editor Ralph Macchio, an introduction by uber-collector David Mandel, and original art, rare photographs, and other gems, these 698 pages of wall-crawling wonder will make anyone's spider-sense tingle with anticipation. (c) 2021 MARVEL About the series MARVEL COMICS LIBRARY is an exclusive, long-term collaboration between TASCHEN and Marvel. The rarest classic comics, including Spider-Man, Avengers, and Captain America are meticulously reproduced in their original glory, in extra-large format. The library offers collectors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lay their hands on the world's most desirable comics. Each volume includes an essay by a comic book historian along with hundreds of photos and artifacts, including rare original comic book artwork.
Two boys on their way to college find themselves charged with murder in Hicksville, Alabama. One of the boys has a cousin, Vinny (Joe Pesci), who recently qualified as a lawyer, and he is persuaded to plead their case. Unfortunately, Vinny does not know anything about court procedure and gets the boys into even deeper water. Can his girlfriend Mona (Marisa Tomei) manage to save the day?
Set three decades after the plot of 'The Karate Kid', the series follows Johnny Lawrence as he opens the Cobra Kai dojo in an attempt to atone for his past. When his former rival Daniel LaRusso returns, struggling to cope on his own after the death of his mentor, he takes in Johnny's estranged son Robby in the hopes of passing on the teachings of his late friend. In this season, Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang and Cobra Kai are training for the All-Valley Karate Tournament but personal disagreements get in the way.
Box set featuring all four 'Karate Kid' movies. In 'The Karate Kid' (1984), Daniel (Ralph Macchio) arrives at his new school in California and soon finds himself bullied by a bunch of karate-trained creeps. Help is on hand in the form of the school janitor (Pat Morita), a wise old martial arts instructor who trains Daniel to become a karate expert. This is lucky, because when the chief bully discovers that Daniel has taken up with his girlfriend, he's not going to be very happy about it. In 'The Karate Kid 2' (1986), Daniel decides to accompany his teacher Mr Miyagi to his home island of Okinawa. Mr Miyagi has not seen his home in 40 years, on account of a vicious feud between him and an old friend over the affections of a woman. Meanwhile, Daniel is in similar trouble after falling for a girl who has captured a bully's fancy. In 'The Karate Kid 3' (1989), Daniel returns to LA and is emotionally blackmailed into defending a championship title he doesn't want, and becomes upset when his mentor Mr Miyagi refuses to train him for the bout. Who is behind this troubling turn of events? None other than Danny's old enemy Kreese (Martin Kove). Finally, in 'The Next Karate Kid' (1994), Julie's (Hilary Swank) parents have recently met a tragic death and as a result she has become rude, violent and very ill-mannered to everybody around her. This causes her to be constantly harrassed by a violent all-male gang. So Mr. Miyagi takes her on as a potential karate champion, helping her stand up to her aggressors and to reclaim her inner and outer strength.
In COBRA KAI, the highly-anticipated return of two iconic characters, the arch-rivals from the legendary The Karate Kid film series reunite over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament. Now living in the affluent hills of Encino, Daniel LaRusso leads an enviable life. Meanwhile, his high school adversary, Johnny Lawrence, has taken a rocky turn, but seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo. Their lives inevitably become intertwined and the rivalry is reignited, setting forth the next generation of “karate kids.”
