Karate Kid remake?

Started by WickedDynamite4 pages

Seen the trailer..

No contest! This remake will blow away the 80s version in the Martial Arts dept.

So, yeah this remake looks good on the fighting side. Story wise...we will see.

That would be an idea, and you could have him living in Japan with his HOT wife, the Japanese chick from the 2nd movie. she is still acting and was in JAG and stargate atlantis for a while.

Holy shit dude, lets get together and write a movie.

I didnt like the last line that Wills kid said because its something his Father would say. I still have a bad feeling about this.

Also why the Hell is the title Karate Kid when hes in "CHINA" learning Kung fu?

I'm sure we could come up with something better. I don't understand why hollywood has run out of ideas? why can't they just let some things go? It's like rebooting spiderman. Seriously?? its only been 9 years since the first one, and even though i wasn't that fussy for any of the films, they were ok but they said they want to appeal to a younger audiance?? WTF! just carry on but get rid of kirsten dump.

This seems quite different, daniels black, he likes a chinese girl...he's fighting a chinese dude and the whole thing is in china...it looks good, I'm not gonna lie but when its all over I reckon I'll still prefer the original but who knows...might surprise me...I like surprises

Plus it should be called Kung-Fu kid as thats what he's doing, he's not doing karate

With the whole training part I can see the new catch phrase. Jacket off, jacket on, jacket off, jacket on, jacket off, jacket on!

I prefer wax on...wax off

Yeah but creepy old Asian guy telling little black kid to jacket off is more hilarious.

We had an Asian teacher at my old school, she told someone to take their jacket off and when she said 'jacket off' the whole class looked at her and was like 'what?' was quite...interesting to say the least

I think it looks awesome. I Was worried at first, but after I saw the preview I think it'll be pretty cool.

I think it has something to do with the writing of the stories.

In the original Mr. Miyagi and Daniel discuss about the origins of Karate and somewhere in the dialog Daniel mentions about Shaolin Temples. Miyagi scorns him by saying "you watch too much tv" something around those lines. Then mentioning martial arts comes from Japan.

(I have to see the scene again to make sure)

Well, I think the writing in this remake seems to mock the elements of the original. Notice how Jackie jest the infamous fly catching scene with the chopsticks. I get the feeling this remake will take some jabs at the original (no pun intended)

Good read about the film. This film had some politic (local people) issues, China wanted the movie this way and US wanted it that way etc..

I thought the movie was excellent, as good as, if not better, than the original.

Most people in the world don't even like Jaden Smith's Like Mike movies. Why on earth is he being starred in a remake to one of the best films ever? This is insulting the fans everywhere. Even the star to the original Karate Kid has mixed feelings about this.

Jaden wasn't in the Like Mike movies. Damn, i know we all look a like but, c'mon son. sneer

Also, let's simmer down on calling the Karate kid "one of the best films ever". It was a good movie, i have the dvd, but the hyperbole is a little much.

Will Smith is dead to me now.
