But... Jackie Chan is from Hong Kong...
When I lived in Japan, I had a teacher called Mr. Miyagi. True story.Last edited by noobish hat; 15-01-2009, 01:18.

I'm a little baffled as to HOW they can remake the Karate Kid. Martial arts in mainstream movies have changed a lot since the 80s - standing on one leg isn't going to look very cool any more. If he's pulling off Matrix style moves then it won't be believable as a genuine competition. They'll also have to up the violence considerably I guess.
*scratch that, if it's a Jackie Chan movie then I can see how it will turn out lolLast edited by Darwock; 15-01-2009, 02:19.

Lets face it, its going to be dump! From what I have read its essentially Will Smith throwing his weight around for a vehicle to boost his kids exposure. If thats the case it could end up doing more harm than good.
You can tell the only thing it will share with the original is the name. Anyone who really enjoyed the original will be in their 30's now and would more than likely buy an anniversary edition on BluRay, but are unlikely to go the pictures to see a remake with a 10 year old.
The problem with these crap remakes is they tend to take the original down the pan with them.
