I was like, 6.2 for KARATE KID?! And then I clicked on it and realized. Will Smith slapped us all in the face with that one
Actual film captures far more resolution than was originally transferred to digital. If they have that source film, they can rescan frame-by-frame and clean up those higher resolution film scans to achieve a legit 4k transfer. If they simply upscale, I'm not sure why they bother (this happens too).

Apparently the source film for the initial star wars trilogy (as it was originally shown) was cut down long ago, and it is no longer possible to scan the original source film, so those had to use lucas magic to get them to 4k (along with revisions/changes nobody asked for).

Yippee ki-yay!!! (Quick fact: this is an old cowboy expression that means great joy or excitement.)

Also, I know it's only July, but this Run-DMC song will always be one of the most memorable parts of Die Hard: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lEcEobSwsNw.

How can moves that old be "4K UHD"? Does software auto-magically insert pixels into film data?

I am puzzled.

These older movies were shot on something called film. They were not done with a 1080p camcorder. Film can be scanned down to any pixel resolution your heart desires. I hope that helps clear up your confusion.

More memorable than, "Now I have a machine gun, HO-HO-HO"? More than, "welcome to the party, pal!"? More than, "and the quarterback is toast!"? More than, "yippee ki-yay, mother f***er"?! More than McClane in an air duct?More than Hans Gruber's look of shock as he falls to his death?

I mean, I'm not downvoting you because it's an awesome song and incredibly memorable but you set a high bar. ;-)

Edit: I see now that you said, "one of the most," and not "the most". So, I agree.

FYI the only place you can get Terminator 2 in 4K is VUDU, everybody else is 1080p including even Apple.

The original one is only 7.3 so it's not that far off.
