Buy: Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi
Oh, you’re still here? I thought the title was all that you needed to know. Since you went through the trouble of clicking the link, I guess I’ll give you some details.
Jackie Chan has been tapped to play the new Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid remake.
Jackie Chan will take on Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi role in Sony Pictures’ remake of The Karate Kid. China Film Corp. Group will coproduce the movie, which will shoot entirely in China. (Source)
Now, I think this is the perfect pick. Jackie Chan is getting old. He’s always been more of a comedic martial artist and this just seems like the best projection for his career. I know that Chan is Chinese and Mr. Miyagi was clearly Japanese, but race doesn’t matter. And I guess I’ll also ignore that karate was created and mastered in Japan and the movie will be shot entirely in China. Anyways Karate Kid is totally better than something that could be have been named Kung-Fu Kid.

this is a DONT BUY in every sense of the word. They shouldnt remake Karate Kid, its already a cult classic. They shouldnt remake it and screw it up with the wrong actors. While I love Jackie Chan, he won’t be a Mr Miyagi. Also the chinese/japanese thing erks me.
Also, I would totally see “The Kung-fu Kid.”
Don’t buy!! Was this some kind of discussion board test?!
If they are remaking it, who else could be mr. miyagi? huh? Name me one other viable candidate!

Psht.
