The Only Way To Stop Them, Is To Face Them. I Will Teach You: The Karate Kid 2010
Look, it had to happen eventually. An 80's classic that spanned three movies. A movie about growing up under a wise olden mentor, while learning kung-fu to kick-ass (in this case, "Karate") ~ What's not to like? And remake?
Jackie Chan is "Mr Han" (the late "Mr Miyagi") while Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) is "Dre", the kid who is transplanted from his home in Detroit, US to China, and learns to kick-ass. The Karate Kid premieres June 11th, 2010. CLICK THRU for the plot outline, as well as a quick-fix spar down the memory-dojo ... remember, tis just a matter of "Wax-On, Wax-Off".
PLOT OUTLINE [via Facebook]:In Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid, 12-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's (Taraji P. Henson) latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying - and the feeling is mutual - but cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng.
In the land of kung fu, Dre knows only a little karate, and Cheng puts "the karate kid" on the floor with ease. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.
