Two of the biggest movies from the Karate Kidfranchise will be coming back to theaters before Karate Kid: Legendspremieres on the big screen. The Karate Kid (1984) and The Karate Kid (2010) will return on Saturday, May 10. Fans will be able to catch these stories on the big screen for one night only. Sony Pictures is getting ready to celebrate the premiere of the latest installment of the series by returning to the movies that turned this property into a pop culture landmark. That's not even taking into account the streaming spinoff that dominated Netflix for a few years.

The original Karate Kid movie started it all by introducing Daniel Larusso (Ralph Macchio) as a young man who wanted to defeat the Cobra Kai team that was led by Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka). The character was the former boyfriend of Daniel's love interest, Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue). The only way to defeat...

Run Werewolf Run - An Illustrated Werewolf Novel by Onur Tukel: "Run Werewolf Run is the first novel from filmmaker Onur Tukel, who adapted it from a feature film script he wrote in 2018. "I've always loved this script," Tukel said. "It's one of my favorite projects. Covid complicated production for so many films in 2020, and I really wanted to bring this project to fruition, so adapting it as a novel made sense. It was much harder than writing a script, of course. I thought it might take a year or two, but it ended up taking five years.

The ’80s were a heyday for the underdog. Whether the arena was the corporate workplace or the hormone hurricane of high school, bullies and their respective comeuppances were ubiquitous in the decade’s cinematic offerings. 1984’s The Karate Kid was one of the most popular David vs. Goliath offerings on the big screen, and its legacy goes way beyond fly-hunting with chopsticks, or beachfront training montages, or its litany of catchphrases. Through sequels, reboots and small screen re-invention, the legend of The Karate Kid spans decades, and continues to inspire and delight each new generation as they meet life’s great challenges.

So, given that the first four films have been given a splendid Blu-ray release (as well as the release of Cobra Kai on DVD) and in anticipation of the forthcoming shared universe blockbuster Karate Kid: Legends and the advent of our current giveaway for The Karate Kid on 4K Uhd,...

The early aughts launched a wave of horror remakes, but they’re especially known as an era full of American remakes of Japanese horror classics. One such adaptation is Takashi Shimizu‘s 2004 film, The Grudge, based on the Japanese film Ju-On: The Grudge, which Shimizu directed in 2002. It’s not often the original director is brought on for the American adaptation, so this is a fascinating film even for just that reason.

In the film, “An American nurse living and working in Tokyo is exposed to a mysterious supernatural curse, one that locks a person in a powerful rage before claiming their life and spreading to another victim.“

The Grudge stars horror icon Sarah Michelle Gellar, as well as Jason Behr (Roswell) and Clea DuVall (The Faculty). It was a massive hit upon release, raking in a reported $187.3 million on a $10 million budget. It was released when I was a kid,...

Tom Hanks and the roles of soldiers go hand in hand, be it Captain Miller taking his boys on a mission or Forrest Gump going to war in Vietnam and winning the Medal of Honor, every time he plays a soldier, he absolutely kills it. In 2020, he got in front of the camera to don the uniform again, and this time as U.S. Navy Cmdr. Ernest Krause.

The 2020 movie was about Krause’s first mission, which turns into everyone’s last hope. Based on true events, Krause is assigned to be the commanding officer of an allied convoy that he is leading across the Atlantic during World War II, and they come under extreme threat from German U-boats. The movie was filled with intense sea battles filled with terror and missiles; after the huge success of the movie, it looks like Tom Hanks and Apple TV+ are gearing up for interesting new updates.

In the main series, Heavensbee is Head Gamemaker and a rebel leader. In the prequel, younger Heavensbee is a cameraman who helps hero Haymitch Abernathy plan his rebellion.

New details have emerged about the sequel to Tom Hanks' WWII action film, Greyhound. The Academy Award-nominated film premiered on Apple TV+ in 2020.

Deadline reports that the Greyhound sequel is planning to commence shooting in January 2026 in Sydney, Australia. Hanks will reprise his role as Captain Krause and has also penned the sequel's script. Other key cast members are said to still be in talks to reprise their roles, but are expected to return. Original Greyhound director Aaron Schneider will return along with producer Gary Goetzman / Playtone. The next chapter in the naval war movie franchise will see Krause and his crew go "from the beaches of Normandy to the ocean in the Pacific as they help turn the tide of the war."

Greyhound saw Hanks joined by Stephen Graham (Venom: The Last Dance), Rob Morgan and Elisabeth Shue. Based on the 1955 novel The Good Shepherd by C.S. Forester, Greyhound...

Nearly five years since the film's release, Apple TV's World War II action epic Greyhoundis getting a sequel, and Tom Hanks is in line to return as Captain Krause. The film, which boasts a Certified Fresh 78% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, was originally set to hit theaters through Son Pictures. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was delayed and then sold to Apple TV+, which is now developing a sequel with the main crew returning for another WWI battle.

According to Deadline, Tom Hanks is set to start shooting the sequel to Greyhound in January 2026 in Sydney, Australia. The follow-up was announced in 2022, but it's taken several years for it to get off the ground. Now, not only is Hanks reprising his lead role, but Adolescence star Stephen Graham is in negotiations to return as well. The trade reports that the plot "will follow Krause and the Greyhound...

What were you doing in the middle of the 2020 lockdown? Experimenting with a sourdough bread starter? Learning to code? Embracing brain rot on TikTok? Well, while the rest of you were being productive, some of us were desperately trying to watch new movies wherever we could get them. Luckily, Apple TV+ sure scratched that itch with the straight-to-streaming release of "Greyhound." The Tom Hanks-starring movie followed a Naval commander in charge of a convoy of ships tasked with traversing waters infested with Nazi U-boats and other threats in the early years of World War II. It came, it went, and didn't make much of a fuss in either direction (as you can read from /Film's review at the time by Josh Spiegel). It was a peak Dad Movie™ in every sense of the phrase, and it seemed like it did its job.

In all honesty, I probably never would've...

Tom Hanks' Commander Ernie Krause will be back in action soon. The Apple TV+ World War II naval thriller Greyhoundis getting a sequel. Deadline reports that Hanks will return to both star and pen the script, and a number of creatives from the first film are on board, as well. The film is set to begin shooting early next year.

In addition to Hanks, director Aaron Schneider (Get Low), who helmed the original film, is back for the sequel, as is producer Gary Goetzman from Hanks' production company Playtone. The rest of the cast is currently in negotiations, but Deadline reports most of the cast from the original will return. The sequel will reportedly see Krause and the crew of the USS Keeling take part in the latter half of World War II, including the Normandy landings and action in the Pacific theater. The original was one of Apple TV+'s first original movies,...

Exclusive: The sequel to Tom Hanks and Apple’s World War II action pic Greyhound is lining up a January 2026 start in Sydney, Australia, we can reveal.

Oscar winner Hanks will reprise his role as Captain Krause and has penned the script. Director Aaron Schneider returns, as does producer Gary Goetzman for Playtone.

We understand the next chapter in the Greyhound saga will follow Krause and the Greyhound crew from the beaches of Normandy to the ocean in the Pacific as they help turn the tide of the war.

Talks are in process with key cast from the first movie to reprise their roles. This includes Stephen Graham, who is coming off rave reviews for Netflix hit Adolescence. Deals aren’t done but expectations are high that the main players will be back.

The Oscar-nominated 2020 movie Greyhound saw Hanks play an inexperienced U.S. Navy commander who, soon after the U.

Exclusive: Brittany Snow has joined the cast of Hulu’s Murdaugh Murders limited series from showrunner Michael D. Fuller, who co-created the project with Erin Lee Carr.

The as-yet untitled project is based on Maggie and Alex Murdaugh’s stranger-than-fiction family drama, a riveting account drawing from countless hours of reporting by Mandy Matney – journalist and creator of the popular Murdaugh Murders Podcast – as well as exclusive insider knowledge from years spent following the case.

Snow will play Mandy Matney, a journalist with a sunny smile and a suspicious view of the world. When Mandy starts searching for a story with teeth, she stumbles upon the news of a girl missing as a result of a boat crash. Mandy uses her keen instinct to unravel the complicated layers of the Murdaugh family and ensure that the guilty party is brought to justice.

"The Karate Kid" was never the kind of movie you'd expect to launch a decades-spanning franchise. In the age of streaming, though, everything is IP waiting to be harvested by the right media conglomerate. Hence, in the wake of "Cobra Kai," the "Karate Kid" brand has once again become a big deal, and many younger fans have discovered the property for the first time thanks to the Netflix show.

If you're interested in going back and watching through the older entries in the franchise, or if you've just heard the recent hype and want to watch straight through from the beginning, the good news is that ordering the "Karate Kid" movies and shows is pretty simple. The release order for all movies and series up to this point is the same as the canonical chronological order, with one small asterisk that we'll explain later. So, if you want to watch...

Did Mikey Madison win an Oscar for portraying a prostitute in Anora? (Photo Credit – AnoraFilm Instagram)

The 2025 Academy Awards came and went in a whirlwind, forging legacies for a slew of talents, though it’s the newcomers who galvanize the most intrigue with their ties to the golden statuette. Amid the night’s fervor, one victory stood out — a triumph that spotlights both a fresh face and a storied trope.

Mikey Madison, the 25-year-old dynamo from Anora, seized her first Oscar for Best Actress, outpacing The Substance’s Demi Moore in a twist few had prognosticated. The win, flanked by Anora’s haul of Best Picture, Director, and more, incentivized a floodlight on her nascent Hollywood path.

Maddison’s raw and unapologetic portrayal of the titular sex worker elucidated a character far from cliché, cementing her ascent with a cataclysmic bang. That win didn’t transpire without etching new stats...

This article contains spoilers for "Cobra Kai" Season 6 Part 3.

With each new season of "Cobra Kai," it was difficult to not be in awe of its audacity to bring back all manner of "Karate Kid" alumni. The consistency in which it did so would sink just about any other franchise into empty nostalgic reverence ... and yet, it kind of worked. The only time it ever really fumbled this was with the unsettling AI resurrection of Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita). Otherwise, when a returning character like Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) or Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue) made an appearance on the show, they became integral parts of the story. Pulling heroes and villains from past films for "Cobra Kai" (like Thomas Ian Griffith's Terry Silver) retroactively made them better and, even more shockingly, meaningful.

In the Season 2 episode "Take a Right," Johnny (William Zabka) receives a call from his high school...

Image Source: Amazon The 80s. A time of big hair, bigger dreams and a cinematic landscape of teen adventures we’ll never forget. Among those classics, a shining star: 1987’s Adventures in Babysitting. It wasn’t just a movie, it was a rite of passage, a wild ride through a city that felt both dangerous and exhilarating. Remember the thrill? A night of babysitting, a desperate plea for help and suddenly Elisabeth Shue’s character Chris Parker is navigating the urban jungle with three kids in tow. It was the perfect blend of comedy, suspense and that unmistakable 80s energy. The movie’s magic wasn’t just in the story, but in the cast. Elisabeth Shue fresh from The Karate Kid anchored the film with a mix of vulnerability and strength. Keith Coogan, Anthony Rapp and Maia Brewton brought youthful authenticity to the roles. And check out the supporting cast!

We see recasts pretty regularly on the big screen. For some franchises like Friday the 13th and Halloween, it’s almost a tradition. It’s less common in a non-genre arena. However, other major films have seen some of their important characters get recast for various reasons… and keep in mind that we’re only talking about movies here, not TV shows, so you won’t hear about Michiel Huisman replacing Ed Skrein as Daario Naharis on Game of Thrones, Charles Melton replacing Ross Butler on Riverdale, Liam Hemsworth replacing Henry Cavill on The Witcher, Janet Hubert being switched with Daphne Maxwell Reid as Aunt Vivian Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Nathan Parsons replacing Luke Grimes as James Kent on True Blood, Alessandra Torresani being replaced by Mae Whitman on Arrested Development, or Jeff the cab driver being recast in the final season of Better Call Saul. The...

Cobra Kai’s showrunner Jon Hurwitz has addressed the cameo, or lack thereof, of Hilary Swank's character in the series finale. Swank played Julie Pierce in The Next Karate Kid, the fourth movie in the Karate Kid franchise and Pat Morita's last appearance as Mr. Miyagi. The film's reception was not good, and it ended up burying the franchise until the 2010 reboot. Although the showrunners and writers found a way to bring back almost every single character, even those played by late actors, Swank was one of the biggest legacy characters who wasn't present in the show. And we finally know the reason why.

The Netflix TV spin-off of the Karate Kid franchise concluded its six-season run as a funny and nostalgic series that expanded on the cultural landmark that made everyone start karate classes in the 1980s. The series used everything, from needle drops to nods to Easter eggs,...

This article contains mild spoilers for "Cobra Kai" Season 6 Part 3.

Over the course of its six seasons, "Cobra Kai" has had a lot of cameos, but those have typically involved actors from the larger "Karate Kid" franchise. Actors like Robyn Lively, Elisabeth Shue, Tamlyn Tomita, Sean Kanan, Rob Garrison, and Tony O'Dell have all reprised their former "Karate Kid" film roles on the series, adding to the sense that "Cobra Kai" truly exists in the same living world as those '80s movies. In Season 6 Part 3, however, the show features a couple of cameos of another sort.

After the Sekai Taikai tournament ends in bloody fashion in Barcelona, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) has the final rounds moved to the San Fernando Valley, where a pair of real-life sports commentators cover the matches for live TV. If these names and faces look familiar, then you've probably watched at least a...

What makes the Back to the Futuretrilogy iconic — other than its entire concept — is the characters that inhabit the story. Over the course of three films, viewers grew to love Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown (Christopher Lloyd), and the iconic '80s cast including Lea Thompsonas Marty's mother, Lorraine, and Crispin Glover as his father, George. It's hard to imagine anyone else playing these characters, which probably explains screenwriter Bob Gale's blunt answer about continuing the Back to the Future story. But one of those characters underwent a startling change: Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer Parker. Jennifer was originally portrayed by Claudia Wells in the first Back to the Future, but then was replaced by Elisabeth Shue, who played Jennifer in Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III. Surprisingly, there's another actress who was considered to play Jennifer, but was replaced by Wells last minute.

Cobra Kaihas officially ended, and while many characters from the Karate Kid franchise returned at some point, there was one that was strangely absent: Julie Pierce from The Next Karate Kid, played by Oscar-winner Hilary Swank. Even minor figures from the franchise had their respective cameos, making fans think that Pierce would also show up in the sixth and final season. Ultimately, it didn't happen, and co-creator Jon Hurwitz has revealed why.

Cobra Kai, the Karate Kid spin-off that renewed the public's fascination with the martial arts franchise, ended its run with Season 6 Part 3 debuting on Netflix a few days ago. All character arcs were solved, mysteries were solved, and the show had a very happy ending. And the respective Miyagi cameo? It was also there to divide audiences over the questionable use of AI to bring Pat Morita back to screens.

Throughout its entire run, producers were able to...

Cobra Kai is more than just a nostalgic revival because it redefined the legacy of Karate Kid for an entire generation. The franchise stands for narratives of redemption, rivalry, and a pursuit of self-improvement. The show honored its predecessors and introduced characters who only added to the heartfelt storytelling.

But even the greatest fights must come to an end, and so is Cobra Kai with its final season now streaming on Netflix. But for the creators, this is only the end of a series, not necessarily its universe.

Cobra Kai ends, but the Karate Kid universe lives on Tanner Buchanan in Cobra Kai | Netflix

As per their interview with the NY Times, when creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg first pitched Cobra Kai, they envisioned that it would be a movie. However, the changing landscape of entertainment convinced...

After seven years of crane kicks, comebacks and character growth, “Cobra Kai” bows out this week with its final five episodes on Netflix. It’s been a wild ride, sometimes straining credibility with the sheer volume of interpersonal drama piled atop its martial arts warriors. But at its heart, the series always understood what made “The Karate Kid” mythology endure since 1984. Instead of merely taking audiences on a nostalgia trip full of familiar faces and places, “Cobra Kai” carved out its own identity elevating it beyond yet another ’80s relic wheeled out for sympathy.

In a bid to make the parting that much more sweetly sorrowful, Netflix stretched the farewell season to 15 episodes (instead of the usual 10), rolling them out in chunks since last summer. This final batch ties a black belt around the ever-expanding storylines that have steadily interwoven over the years, centering, of course, on the dynamic between...

Cobra Kai had no business being as good as it was ever. The first season was shockingly good, especially for those of us who loved the first few films of the series and expected nothing of that quality. Instead, the series was quite good. Even without the original source material, the show was fantastic.

The show is coming to a close, however. The final season (season 6) has been broken into three parts, but at least Netflix subscribers have gotten their money's worth. Instead of a three-episode arc, we have gotten 15 in total. That means storylines should be completed in full.

Over the seasons, we have seen a number of cameos from the original Karate Kid films. Elisabeth Shue as Ali Mills has shown up, so has Traci Toguchi who played Luna, and Rob Garrison as Tommy. But one actor we have not yet seen is Hilary Swank, who was the...

However, for the purposes of this article, we are only including the films that are coming to Prime Video this month and have a 90% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score. So, check out the 10 best films that are coming to Prime Video in February 2025 with a 90% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

A Fish Called Wanda (February 1) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96% Credit – Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer

A Fish Called Wanda is a heist comedy film directed by Charles Crichton from a screenplay by John Cleese. The 1988 film revolves around a group of thieves and con artists who team up to pull off the perfect heist, but things go horribly wrong because they all try to double-cross each other.

This is it: the end of the "Karate Kid" saga as we know it. Sure, there's the upcoming "Karate Kid: Legends" movie that connects the original "Karate Kid" films with the 2010 reboot, but so far that feels only superficially linked and more like the start of something new. Instead, the first proper trailer for Part 3 of "Cobra Kai" Season 6 makes it clear this is the conclusion of the greater 40 year franchise so far -- and to celebrate, the show is going back to where it all started.

"Cobra Kai" is the little legacy sequel that could. The show defied all expectations about what a "Karate Kid" sequel series could be. It not only earned huge praise but also survived the death of a streaming platform to become one of Netflix's biggest shows. For six seasons, we have seen the show simultaneously introduce a new generation of karate kids that...

Horror movies may not often get a whole lot of respect, critically speaking. For whatever reason, they are often treated as a lesser form of entertainment. It's only the rarest of rare genre offerings that can go on to become embraced both critically and commercially, with Jordan Peele's "Get Out" serving as a shining example from relatively recent times. That's an outlier though. One undeniable truth though is that these movies are a reliable backbone for Hollywood studios, delivering consistent profits against relatively low investments. Good movies, bad movies, it often doesn't matter.

Hardcore horror fans will tell you that the number of bad movies far outweighs the good in any given year. It's about searching for that diamond in the rough.

Series creator Eric Kripke revealed their approach to developing The Boys episodes. He also teased how current events (and how these unfold) will be written into Season 5's storylines.

Eric Kripke said they're developing The Boys Season 5's script on the fly. "I mean, they're not all written, by the way," he told Forbes. "They're about half-written. I mean, look - things adjust all the time." That revealed so much about their creative approach, which also put the previous seasons' plots in perspective. The Boys does not pull any punches in tackling difficult issues; Kripke has confirmed the show is a cautionary tale on authoritarianism, and Homelander is the embodiment of absolute, unchecked power. Kripke asserted that has always been their goal.

The Back to the Future trilogy is one of the most beloved franchises in film history, known for its inventive storytelling, unforgettable characters, and time-traveling adventures. It's safe to say Back To The Future wasn't only a great movie, but the launching pad to an iconic trilogy praised for its interconnecting stories of set-ups and payoffs. However, when the first film was released in 1985, a sequel wasn’t part of the plan. The filmmakers crafted a satisfying ending with a thrilling cliffhanger, where Doc Brown returns from the future to whisk Marty and his girlfriend, Jennifer, off in the flying DeLorean.

This decision created a significant challenge when Back to the Future Part II went into production. Director Robert Zemeckis wasn’t thinking ahead to more Back to the Future movies, and had he known one was on the horizon, he would have written the ending differently. This seemingly small decision had a ripple effect,...

Laurence Fishburne left CSI: Crime Scene Investigation for a specific reason. The show, which premiered on CBS in 2000, was created by Anthony E. Zuiker and ran for 15 seasons, in the process spawning half a dozen spinoffs including CSI: Miami, which ran for 10 seasons, and CSI: NY, which ran for nine. The flagship show, which followed a Las Vegas Police Department crime scene investigation team, featured a rotating cast of stars over the years, which included William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger, Gary Dourdan, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Paul Guilfoyle, Eric Szmanda, Robert David Hall, Louise Lombard, and Elisabeth Shue.

Laurence Fishburne joined the CSI franchise in 2008, first appearing on the flagship show in season 9 as former medical doctor Raymond Langston and becoming a main cast member two episodes later, after the departure of Petersen's longtime character Gil Grissom, who had been a part of the series since the pilot. During his tenure,...

Elisabeth Shue’s career appeared to be on an upward trajectory. From her Oscar-nominated role in Leaving Las Vegas to her iconic portrayal of Ali Mills in The Karate Kid, the actress had firmly established herself as a Hollywood star. However, just when it seemed like she was at the peak of her success, she made the surprising choice to step away from acting.

Though it's well-known as a family movie, Back to the Future Part II has some jokes that aren't safe for work, and one can only be seen by pausing at exactly the right moment. While there were some things Back to the Future Part II got right about 2015, not all of its predictions were right. From self-lacing sneakers to flying cars, there were a few wild predictions about the future in one of the best Back to the Future movies. One such prediction was only in a few seconds of the film, and finding it means finding a dirty joke that wasn't intended for young audiences.

Michael J. Fox played several McFly family members in the Back to the Future trilogy, and one of his most prominent roles was as Marty McFly Jr. in the second installment. Marty Jr. was, basically, the butt of many of the movie's jokes. He...

The Back to the Future franchise may revolve around them, but neither Doc Brown nor Marty McFly were the world's first time travelers. This is a point that many viewers can overlook about the movie, since it certainly feels like Michael J. Fox's Marty is the first one to go back in Doc's time-traveling DeLorean - but he gets beaten by a technicality. The fact Marty got to use the time machine Doc Brown spent 30 years building first must be heartbreaking in itself, though Doc doesn't show any signs of bitterness about this within the Back to the Future trilogy.

Of course, Doc and Marty weren't the only people to use the DeLorean either. Marty's girlfriend Jennifer (Claudia Wells/Elisabeth Shue) and Old Biff (Thomas F. Wilson) also took spins in the machine - though series director Robert Zemeckis later regretted including Jennifer in the trip to 2015, since she...

Wax On, Wax Off. For those of us who lived through the 1980s, The Karate Kid has been in our lives in one way or another. Even if you have never seen any of the films, you know what Wax On, Wax Off means. In 2018, we got to take a trip back to the All Valley Karate Tournament to see what Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence were up to. The series Cobra Kai became a big hit on Netflix (after moving from YouTube Red), but with that series winding down, are we saying goodbye to our beloved characters? Not quite yet.

Photos taken from the set of The Boys season 5 show the sinister lengths that Homelander (Antony Starr) will go to quell any resistance by anti-supe protesters. The dark Prime Video superhero series imagines a world where the profession of powered heroes is dominated by corrupt corporations and dangerous and power-hungry narcissistic individuals. The fifth and final season of The Boys will see Homelander finally gain control of the world, as the titular group is divided and imprisoned.

As filming for The Boys season 5 continues, new posts by True_Cabinet_9733 on The Boys subreddit show previously teased plans come to life. The photos depict internment camps being erected in a woodland. Dubbed "Freedom Camp 47," the installation is lathered in a red, white, and blue color scheme.

The Boys 7/10

The Boys...

The opening of Back to the Future Part II pays homage to its predecessor in the most unexpected way — by recreating the final scene of the original movie, but with a subtle and funny twist. The sequel picks up right where the first movie ends: with Christopher Lloyd's Doc Brown reappearing in the DeLorean.

In both the original final scene and the reshot opening, Doc convinces Marty and his girlfriend, Jennifer, to return to the future in order to help their children. However, reshooting the Back to the Future ending for Part II wasn't just a practical choice for continuity and reminding audiences what happened before; it was one that carved out an indelible comedic touch to open the sequel.
