Second trailer for The Karate Kid

by Liam Goodwin on February 24, 2010 · 6 comments

karate kid remake Columbia has released another trailer for The Karate Kid remake starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. It’s similar to the first trailer (i.e. one big training montage), but it doesn’t look that bad. The original Karate Kid movies aren’t embedded in my childhood so I’m not as against the remake as some may be. I guess it’s up those people to decide whether this looks worthy or not.

The Karate Kid, which will be released in June, is directed by Harald Zwart (Agent Cody Banks) and produced by Will Smith.

    Ah calling a Kung Fu movie a Karate movie is ridiculous and insulting.

    It's nice that they clarified that it's all really Kung Fu, though I really wish they would emphasize on why it's titled “The Karate Kid” other than the fact that they're capitalizing on the name (if there is any reason at all in-movie.) This doesn't seem as big as an offense as Best of the Best, though (yet.) I remember them referring to everything as “Karate” even though it was all Tae Kwon Do.

    In China, I think they're going to call it that. But you know how stupid we Americans are – we might not know it's the same movie unless they keep the name…I can't wait to see this. I am a huge fan of the original, but want to see if they bring anything new to the story.At first I was a bit miffed that they were doing it with much younger actors than the original, but having been sated for teenage angst and fighting with Never Back Down, I think this actually looks very good. The fly scene at the end is awesome.

    The trailer is pretty good. Yeah, they should've changed it to Kung Fu Kid though.I thought they were changing the title to kung fu kid. It doesn't make sense calling it karate kid if it's about kung fu.

    This movie just didn’t do it for me. The trailer is well made and got my attention, good trailer, but the movie really bombed in my opinion.

    This is America, they don’t care about calling it Kung Fu, they care about making $$$
