Damn I thought Jackie Chan was done with American movie Cinema or something

 

[CutStryker]

Good trailer for Karate Kid Legends.

 

[NoSmilez]

What is this bullshit? You are just missing master Splinter. That kid looks like he is 30.

 

[Adamant]

Ok but where is Hillary Swank and Jaden Smith?

 

[neverwas]

the kung karate fu kid!

 

[Hog-train]

Looks corny AF but I still want to watch,

 

[jeromeaz]

Is this supposed to be an alternate universe Larusso or what? Because if it's the same character from the previous movies & the COBRA KAI series then it makes no sense not to have some cameos of the other characters from COBRA KAI. If they don't tie it into the Netflix series somehow then they missed the boat. Hell, IMO they should have just made COBRA KAI THE MOVIE & somehow fir Chan's character into it.

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

Yup , Hollywood just tries to beat you over the head with it.

Official Trailer for KARATE KID: LEGENDS Starring Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio

In Karate Kid: Legends, after a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) is uprooted from his home in Beijing and forced to move to New York City with his mother. Li struggles to let go of his past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates, and although he doesn't want to fight, trouble seems to find him everywhere. When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition – but his skills alone aren't enough. 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. In theaters May 30.

As soon as I saw that Jackie Chan's character knew Sensei Miyagi?

This looks fantastic!
Love the pairing of Drunken Master & Lightnin' Boy

I think these Karate Kid spinoffs are best when they have someone who doesn't want to fight, being bullied & so has to stand up to the aggressor.

Miagi teaches that you only win a fight by not getting into one, but we train to be able to handle ourselvez should the need arise. I understand it's the cookie cutter storyline for this series, but these lessons are worth repeating & as long as it's done well, I'm all in.

While I enjoyed the series... it only touched on this here & there... though it surely pointed out the trouble you can get into if you run wild with it.

Anywayz... I'm really looking forward to it!!! Hopefully Johnny makes an appearance. He stole teh show in teh seriez.

@Brother Dragon Do we know where in teh MiagiVerse timeline this takes place?

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

Agreed. Hollyweird is lazy. As long as it's not woke

 

[Streeter]

No Johnny no watch!


I love Jackie Chan but not watching on principle.

Agreed. I love Jackie too but he's not right for this franchise. And I certainly don't have any interest in seeing Daniel anymore. I would've been happy if they killed him off in Cobra Kai, leaving Chosen as the last remaining miyagi-do master.

Steve Vai should reprise his role in Crossrods 3

 

[Jesus X]

Let me know when they make the Muay Thai kid.

That would be the movie kick boxer which oddly enough jean claude was using karate all the movie.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Steve Vai should reprise his role in Crossrods 3

There waz no sequel, but YES FOR CROSSROADS 2!!!

I actually wrote a script for it which I consider to be a great continuation of teh story. Perhaps I should quit sitting on it & get it out.
