Here are the first photos we have seen from the not so highly anticipated remake of The Karate Kid, which is now called The Kung-Fu Kid. So in the pictures below we see Jackie Chan who plays Mr. Han (the Mr. Miyagi character) and it looks like he has developed some kind of training contraption using bamboo and rope. Possibly teaching Jaden Smith who plays Dre (the Daniel Laruso character) how to swing his arms correctly when he walks.
Will Smith is producing the film about a kid named Dre that loves to skatebaord and play video games. He is forced to move to China when his mother has to relocate to China due to her job. Dre obviously has a hard time fitting in with everyone, because he is not from China. So like all kids that don’t fit in with their new surroundings he gets picked on and beat up by the students of Li Quan Ha’s Fighting dragon school of Kung-Fu. Mr. Han is the maintenance man who gets a look at Dre’s black eye, he then porceeds to teach him both kung-fu, and the Chinese language, so he can fight back! I’m sure it will end in some kind of tournament without the classic crane.

GOD DAMMIT
This is like pouring salt on a wound.
I guess if they HAVE to remake this movie, I'm glad it has Jackie Chan in it. Unlike Pat Morita, Jackie doesn't have to fake broken english. (But I will not deny that Miogi was a bad ass–cuz he was)
at least I can take solace in the fact that it's being called Kung Fu Kid, and thus I can pretend it has nothing to do with the supah classic Karate Kid.
that’s the HEROES kid?
oh God, he’s awful!
How sad. full of fail
If you're talking about the character, Micah, from the TV Show Heroes…that's not him! this is Will Smith's son, Jaden. The kid that plays Micah is Noah Gray-Cabey
That's nice of Will Smith to produce a movie that his Son Jaden is in. I guess The Pursuit of Happyness started a cool sort of nepotism thing. Take note: Jaden Smith is NOT the kid in Heroes. The young man who plays Micah on Heroes is Noah Gray-Cabey. Anyhow, this is an example of Hollywood taking the same story and putting a fresh face on it. Hence, The Kung Fu Kid. I loved The Karate Kid because I felt like Danny Caruso a lot of the time in school so I'm a little bit bothered by the fact there is a reinvention of it, but I am a big Jackie Chan fan and will end up watching the film because he is in it.
at least…..at least it has will smith and passionate ppl behind this, case in point they changed the title to be more correct. a ruthless studio would have just kept it karate kid even tho they practice kempo in japan and kung fu in china
I “KID” you NOT… this is my favorite film of all time. I have no idea what is going on here… but it doesn’t looks good. I don’t see how this will have the charm of the first film. this kid looks rediculous. At least we could relate to ralph machio’s character. And this Mr Miagi doesn’t have that fun unassuming look to him. Oh well, at least we have the original.
and alllll this you deduced from a few SET photos. Not even what the camera sees. Tut.
Let's all wait till we see it before we start judging it, ok?
That being said, that kid has a huuge head.
