  hmm... I'm guessing if this is set in beijing it will be kung fu not karate, right?

  Now the question is, does anyone know what style they'll be aping?

  Amicus has it right, this remake's premise is fucked from the get-go. Karate is from Japan. Not China.

  It could actually be alright (despite not being karate).

  I sincerely hope that it is, because I'd like my son to have a movie like the original Karate Kid to fall in love with and inspire him. (I finally achieved my black belt rank about a month ago)

  • Try showing him the original. Kids still love it.– seed1/2

    He's seen the original - many times. But I want something new, that will remind him of his childhood when he is older.– Amicus2/2

  I am sure the Will Smith financially produced and backed the movie, and their will be at least (3) stupid rap songs performed by Will Smith on the soundtrack.

  • You're right. Even more dreadful than I imagined..– seed

  wow, synchronized karate dancing with a hippedy-hop-till-you-don't-stop soundtrack. it's all a modern teeny-popper could hope for without all the lame-o character development, tiresome story arcs, and multiple plot points the orginal was laden with.

  somewhere, ralph macchio is considering suicide so he can roll over in his grave.

  Man, they had to use the same damn name too. The original is still awesome and holds up fine.

  What an ego trip, remaking it so your son can be the Karate Kid.

  I think it's unfair. I bet the original script for this remake featured Karate and then the producers decided they needed a seat-filling name. Karate's been let down, but I suppose MMA Kid or Ninja Boy doesn't have the same ring to it... neither does Wushu Kid

  ^ shit. i meant kung fu woman.

  btw... small lyric changes and we've got a title track...

  Raven hair and ruby lips
  Sparks fly from her finger tips
  Echoed voices in the night
  She's a restless spirit on an endless flight
  Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how
  High she flies
  Woo hoo witchy woman she got
  The moon in her eye
  She held me spellbound in the night
  Dancing shadows and firelight
  Crazy laughter in another
  Room and she drove herself to madness
  With a silver spoon
  Woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies
  Woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye
  Well I know you want a lover,
  Let me tell your brother, she's been sleeping
  In the devil's bed.
  And there's some rumors going round
  Someone's underground
  She can rock you in the nighttime
  'til your skin turns red
  Woo hoo witchy woman
  See how high she flies
  Woo hoo witchy woman
  She got the moon in her eye

  I think the reason why it is in China and Jackie Chan is the teacher is Hollywood trying to weasel some money out of the new rich Chinese market.
