[teh_fuzz]

Im all for revamps and improvements on old classics but tbh, Karate Kid is a movie classic of our generation... and in my mind perfect as it was!

Faithful?


If by faithful, you mean faithful to Karate, lol, nope. Every bit of that in the trailer was kung fu, and hollywood kung fu at that. I really don't know if Jackie Chan even has a remote proficiency in Karate, which is a Japanese martial art, being a Chinese man that has gone a very popular route by adding movie stunts to Kung fu for how well it adapts to the flashiness of on screen film.

I mean't to the original film... Mr. Joe Blow who doesn't know his head from his ass won't know the difference. I don't even know the difference. It's all just martial arts to me.

I see what yo mean, we need to be more concerned about whether they are faithful to the original story of a kid's movie then an art form that encompasses a people's tradition, culture and history as it has for centuries.

LOL, I wonder how many kids were out sanding floors after watching the original thinking it would better help them prepare themselves in self defense. Either way it is an ingenious way to encourage kids to do housework

Why so serious... You act as if you're Japanese...
