Avildsen is thoroughly examined in this detailed filmography and critical study. Each of the most significant films made by the Oscar-winning Avildsen is given a separate chapter, including such critical successes as \u003ci\u003eJoe\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSave the Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e, and box-office blockbusters \u003ci\u003eRocky\u003c\/i\u003e and its sequels and the \u003ci\u003eKarate Kid\u003c\/i\u003e series. The authors' observations on these and other titles--some well known, others less familiar--are enhanced by extensive production notes, and by commentary from John G. Avildsen himself. Cinema historian Jean Bodon of Sam Houston State University provides a foreword.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46502689734807,"sku":"9780786466924","price":2834.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786466924.webp?v=1769198896","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-films-of-john-g-avildsen-rocky-the-karate-kid-and-other-underdogs-9780786466924","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
