"The Karate Kid": The Swede
There's something about "The Karate Kid" that brings back fond memories for my generation. (Sweep the leg!) That might be why there are so many "swedes" of it online. This one's my favorite because it recognizes the importance of the montage training scenes that the other videos neglect. Also, the ending, which isn't exactly faithful to the real movie, but is totally worth waiting six minutes for.
Check back every day until "Be Kind Rewind" opens on Friday for more "sweded" videos and Q&As with their creators.
DAN SCAPUSIO joined the Sun Sentinel's online team in 2008. A self described Internet enthusiast, he says the World Wide Web brings him joy, sadness, excitement, joy and a deep sense of terror all at once. For him, it's a crossroads where college humor and the most valuable scholarly information can be found and, in some cases, even melded.
