edit/i hear they thinking of naming it to 'The Kung Fu Kid', i don't know what to think about that.....

[owly]

so instead of mr. miyagi being japanese like he was in the original film series, he's gonna be chinese in china instead of boston and daniel san is gonna be played by will smith's san?

I mean, if it weren't supposed to be a remake it looks interesting. but i dunno.......


in unrelated news although somewhat relevent i heard bill murry is gonna be a ghost in ghostbusters 3

F.T.D.S.

There gonna ruin it!

If Ryan Reynolds is in Ghostbuster's 3 ... I am in.

They need a solid movie that plays off that concept. It doesn't even have to have proton packs.





Ok, I lied ... it does.

Okay, I finally clicked on the link.

Jackie Chan? SWEEET!

Some little 5 year old black kid beating on a bunch of big yellows? Wierd.

[owly]

Yeah it looks pretty kewl but i think they should re-name it to kung Fu kid.....

Ummmm
Karate is Japanese
If they are in China, I doubt he is learning Karate from Jackie Chan (Chinese).
I would imagine there are people out there who will find it insulting for different but similar reasons.
Kung-fu Purists will hate the Kung-fu in it, because it is just pretty showmanship. Kung-fu fans will hate the movie because they are calling it the Karate Kid. Karate Purists and fans will hate it because it isn't Karate. People who are ignorant to Martial arts won't care and will continue to buy into the stereotypes but might enjoy the movie.

I buy into MMA!

MMA is entertaining, but it is still a sport. Which is different from many of the martial arts.

Personally, Bull riding is my favorite sport. But MMA is almost as bloody, I'd imagine getting punched in the face by Brock Lesner is similar to having a 2,000 lb Bull crush your testicles with his hoof.
