I saw the movie poster in the theater and I had to do a triple take and check my watch to see if it was April 1, and this is not a fake. Hollywood is really running out of ideas and being risk adverse these days eh? The plot sounds the exact same and they are relying on bringing back nostalgic characters to sell tickets

There can only be one Karate Kid

 

[Excelsior]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

 

[Streeter]

No Johnny will not watch. A Karate movie about ........ KUNG FU if it doesn't at minimum have Johnny or Krese in it.

 

[Tone C]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

It's not what it used to be to be fair

 

[UberHere]

Karate > Kung fu

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

"Li's kung fu teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) for help, and Li learns a new way to fight, merging their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown."

So...like Eagle Fang except replace Johnny with Han?

Son, I am disappoint

 

[Plissken]

Karate > Kung fu

Karate has its' origins in kung-fu, I believe crane style. The early Okinawan founders studied in China, so technically there can be some commonality.

Fair enough but in the US if you walk into a random karate dojo vs a random kwoon for kung fu, your chances of learning something useful at the karate dojo is much higher.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

Because no one would watch Kungfu Kid.

 

[Fishmonger]

There can only be one Karate Kid

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Even though Karate is the more practical art now, it was still influenced by kung fu.

Also, Jackie Chans old ass would still lay a kung fu beatdown on Ralph Machio, anyday.

 

[Sycho Sid]

Let me know when they make the Muay Thai kid.

 

[FléauDeDieu]

I don't care what anyone says, I loved the Jackie Chan remake with Jaden "Neo Yokio" Smith.
Jaden was actually good in it too!

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

They sure are trying to milk every last drop from this franchise

Can we get stonedlemur back and have this one ip banned?

 

[Fedorgasm]

Garbage.

The reason Cobra Kai works is because it's a silly comedy about Johnny Lawrence. The more they focus on Daniel the worse the show gets.

So now they make a movie with only Daniel? No Johnny at all? No Terry Silver? No thanks.

I love Jackie Chan but everything from that movie needs to be scrapped.

 

[tank666]

Yeah I'm amazed Johnny isn't involved he is the true star of Cobra Kai
