The Karate Kid Remake Photos
By Krystal Clark
More photos have hit the net from the upcoming Sony remake of The Karate Kid, which is also known as The Kung Fu Kid. The film stars Jaden Smith as the title character and Jackie Chan as his mentor. We all loved the original 1984 film that featured Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita so this will be a hard remake for a lot of people to swallow.
Check out the photos below…
First off, the studio has been bouncing back and forth between the titles of The Karate Kid and The Kung Fu Kid, but it sounds like their sticking with the original. That means all the honor that Ralph and Pat worked so hard for will be tainted with this new version. The photos that have been released by the studio feature Dre (Smith) and Mr. Han (Chan) spending some time together on the vast country side of China.
If anything you can smell a training montage a mile away in some of these photos, and there’s also a shot of Smith sharing a moment with a young girl. There is nothing appealing about a love story between two 12 year olds. It’s boring and kind of creepy.
Here are the photos…
What do you think of the photos from The Karate Kid?

Horrid. Terrible. Awful. Ridiculously wrong on a number of levels. Yet another movie that will provide reasons to hate the movie industry. I project massive box office failure. This is a straight-to-dvd hack job that somehow managed to get approved for production despite being so obviously bad. Jackie Chan should have turned this down.
And to the idiot above who said that Karate is Japanese, no, it isn't. It was developed in Okinawa from indigenous fighting techniques called '"te", and Chinese Kenpo. Learn something before you spout off.

Lmao. This has potential to be a good movie. But coming straight out as the next Kirate Kid? Come on! If plot remained decent and action isn't cheesy, than maybe I spend my money. But if this is just another lame as attempt to make money off of an already dead beat film, using Jackie Fricken Chan and Will smiths kid than I hope someone kicks the film producers asses all the way back to Mr Miyagi's village in Japan.
Oh and yea fucktard, Karate is derived from Kempo and Kung fu. Fair to say Kempo known to some as the law or way of the fist also has roots in China. But the biggest blow to your fat tongue comes from the fact that FUCKING KARATE MEANS CHINA HANDS. If this movie fails, I hope they kick you ass all the way to Japan as well. Lol

Okinawa is part of Japan. The word "Karate" and "Te" are also Japanese. Yes, lots of martial arts are based upon Chinese work, but this implication is definitely Japanese.
