As much as my instincts tell me to hate this movie, the trailer makes it look pretty good. Jackie Chan is certainly a great choice for the new “Miyagi”, and I suppose having an actual kid instead of a 30 year old play the title role is good! Though, I’m pretty sure Karate is a Japanese thing, so setting this in China is inspired, but weird.

That’s the new Karate Kid?
It looks like a pretty decent setting visually for a remake (albeit, like you said, a bit inaccurate) and Jackie Chan looks very badass with the moustache. The one thing that makes me not want to see it is that the kid is way too young, I’d be okay with a young guy but that kid looks like a 9 year old.
The new catch phrase is “JACKET OFF”???
Brilliant.
