Movie Franchise Tournament - Round 1 - Karate Kid vs The Godfather Trilogy

No doubt the third Godfather film brings down the franchise somewhat but parts one and two are masterpieces.

 

The Karate Kid is enjoyable nonsense, but anyone voting for this over The Godfather is making Mr Miyagi turn in his grave.

The crane kick has always bugged me. His leg's supposed to be knackered, but that's the one he lands on after jumping.

[Juniper]

Easily The Godfather

 

Karate Kid is an enjoyable film, however this isn’t a contest. 

[Trumo]

The first Karate Kid film is fun. The second is so-so. I've not seen the third. Cobra Kai is supposed to be decent but I've never watched it. The less said the better about the remakes with Will Smith's kid and Jackie Chan.

 

The Godfather trilogy is special. An amazing first film, a true best-film-ever-contender work of art for the second, and a decent but pales-in-comparison-with-its-predecessors third instalment. Another movie holy trinity of Pacino/Coppola/Rota produced what quality cinema should be.

Karate Kid based purely on i have never watched any of the Godfather films.

[Baltar]

Cobra Kai is fucking amazing, better than all the Karate Kid movies that it's spun off from and I consider that to be part of the franchise despite not being a movie. But Godfather is epic, even the crap 3rd movie doesn't bring it down.

I was thinking about that for the next one. Everyone submits just 3 films and I'll whittle it down to 64. Godfather would defo be a contender until it gets knocked out by Herbie Goes Bananas.

Duuuuhhhhhh

Terry Silver is going to make your knuckles bleed.

[Stickman]

Anybody who picked Karate Kid deserves this fate....
 

 

It’s the only way to make sure they don’t have the chance to vote again

Terry Silver sleeps with the fishes. The fucking deviant.

Karate Kid 2 is shite. Didn't know there was a 3.

[Strontium]

Godfather has to be in with a chance of winning the whole tournament, although knowing this place it will probably lose to Smokey and the Bandit or something

[Jairzinho]

The Third Godfather film is better than 95% of the absolute filth in this competition.

Bollocks! There are loads of excellent films in it.

[easytoslip]

Has anybody actually seen the Karate Kid, as an adult that is?

Plenty of people on here have been watching the new Karate Kid television series, Cobra Kai.

95%?

 

I think The Godfather: Part III is an underrated film. However, it’s not better than 95% of the non-Godfather films in this tournament.

 

Various Bond films 

Rocky

Dollars Trilogy

Dirty Harry and Magnum

Force

Beverly Hilla Cop

Halloween

Toy Story 1-3

Terminator 1 & 2

Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi

Jaws

Back of the Future 

Life of Brian

I've no idea about it, I seen a post from our David playing it with his kids and he's just finished it or something, but haven't a clue what it's about.

It's an opinion, Tony. And, obviously, a number picked from thin air. 

 

I'd rather watch someone pick their nose for two hours than watch Star Wars. 

[Anubis]

At least when I put the Banana Splits up against High 5 in the other tournament, I was joking.

Of course. In my opinion, you are wrong.
