The best thing to come out of this film is to see if ask-a-ninja does an episode about it.

Jackie Chan is not Pat Morita
Jaden Smith is not Ralph Machio This should be called the Kung-Fu Kid since that is what the kid will be learning.....IN CHINA this whole movie reeks of stupid. |

Well put, for the record I'm not a fan of the original either its just that I know that at some point I'll be dragged to this film by children and have to resist the urge to kill myself while I'm sitting through it. |

It's all well and good that a new generation have a Karate Kid film to watch and hold dear for themselves, but the fact is we have our own, hence why the majority of people don't like this, and what's wrong with that? of course its going to be what people who saw the original thing.
The fact is, they are still calling it 'The Karate Kid', which means it has some connection and link to the original, when it REALLY doesn't. Kids could've had their 'Karate Kid' movie with another name. There is no point in calling this film 'The Karate Kid' at all in my opinion. The first film is a cult film. No one said it was Citizen Kane, but it is a film a lot of people have something to say about being remade into a piece of shit. And that is for a reason. |

I agree, there is no reason to name this movie Karate Kid. Karate Kid is a timeless classic. It was done right the first time.

It will make money because people love Jackie Chan and Will Smith's family. It's also a kids movie, and kids movies are usually money in the bank financially.
Still, it looks horrid. I'm not even a crazy fan of the original or some retro-purist either. It's less that I'm upset about it being remade, and more that I just think it looks ass. |

How well are we talking here? I think it will make over 100 million domestic, which is very good. Especially since the budget is probably low. Maybe 60 or 70 mill

It just annoys me, because right in the trailer, Jackie Chan says " I will teach you Kung Fu."
WTF? This movie has nothing to do with Karate. |

And yeah, I know that Karate has its roots in Chinese Kung Fu and yeah, I know that there's really no reason for me to give a fuck, and it's just a name, but it just annoys the shit out of me. The styles aren't interchangeable and neither are the cultures surrounding them. And I'm sure the original Karate Kid had similar nagging, minute issues like this, but that was in the 80's and I had sorta hoped we'd gotten smarter than that since then. |

That, and we need to quit fucking doing remakes of every god damn movie anyway. It's not even the same fucking movie, it's barely the same fucking concept, it would NOT have been that god damn hard to give it a different name and BLAMMO new fucking movie. But no, it HAS to be a remake of something, it we NEED more remakes.

They might as well call it 'Kung-Fu Kid' sounds gays as hell but at least its it's own name.

Maybe they will get around the Kung Fu issue by having the kid's mom make some kind of statement and call him her little karate kid. Or something. Seems like a pretty huge oversight otherwise.

Maybe it will inspire a whole new generation of kids to want to take Karate, even though the majority of parents won't let them.
It can also lead to all of them lying on the playground about being a black belt, or close to it. |

Who fucking cares. Jesus. None of us were talking about The Karate Kid before this news. This is the most harmless remake ever. I would have like if they called it "The Kung-Fu Kid", though. It would carry the same franchise connotation, and be more accurate as some of you already pointed out.

The film itself or something 'hilarious' along the lines of Cobra Kai, Johnny Lawrence, Sweep the leg, the crane kick etc? Memes seem to have replaced nostalgia when it comes The Karate Kid.
