STPJ Gaiden: Sidekicks
For our first foray into the Karate Cinematic Universe, the team has Karate Kid at home, so quit complaining! And home is Houston, Texas, The Birthplace of Humidity. The late great Jonathan Brandis battles the twin demons of maladaptive daydreaming and oxygen deprivation to achieve karate glory under the guidance of Mister Mako-yagi-san.
With hot-for-teacher Beau Bridges, hot-for-schub Julian Nixon, Winny from the Wonder Years, and a truly unhinged Joe Piscopo and Richard Moll one-two-punch (I don't think I’m forgetting anyone), this film makes you really believe that the early 90’s were the peak 90’s in a very...

Seasoned with Bonsai
It's a real after-school-special of an episode when Mister Lawrence takes his stinky briefcase to learn how a karate bill becomes a karate law.

Karate Lonely
Anyone want to do some karate? Karate anyone? Anyone? Karate? Hey, who's up for some karate? Karate train, leaving the station (choo choo). Hey, karate time, first round is on me! Hey, did I hear you say karate? No? Karate people in the house raise those hands! Karate? With me? Anyone? Karate.
