Just saw the preview for the "new" Karate Kid. Why??!!!?? Just...Why?! Can't they come up with any ideas for real NEW movies (i.e. ones that haven't already been made before?)?

Somebody please put the little black kid that says "that's racist!"
I agree with the Op as to why is Hollywood so lacking in writing that they go back and make so many remakes. But this version of Karate kid is on a whole new level. This one makes the the original look like a DVD release knock off. My son and I got to see as a sneak peak last week. Local Rave gave a pre screening to the local dojos in our area.
And no Crane kicks in this one....
Because they had to go back and make it politically correct.. First it was a white kid, then a chick, now a black kid, next up, latin, these could go on forever!:suicide:Quote:

OH BROTHER !!
Now here's a case where you guys sound retarded. Produced by: will smith and Jada pinkett smith. No shit it's a black kid.. It's their son
technicly it shouldn't be called the karate kid either. karate is Japanese. it should be the kung fu kid especially since Jakie Chan told the kid " i will teach you kung fu" I think it would have been much more interesting to call it "The drunken kid" and taught him drunken style, by getting him drunk :D. But hey just about every movie out there mimics some other movie somehow
Don't get stupid about shit like this people. Black, white, whatever just watch the damn movie. You dont like it, watch the older fucking "Karate Kid" movie. One would think people have more important things to worry about in their own life than whats going on with movies they will never be in. Fuck, if you don't like the main character being Black, don't watch the damn movie and go about your business. Nobody is forcing you to go out and see it :dunno:
Thanks man! Yeah looks like they're outta new ideas. Why not name it something else though? The original is and will remain, to a lot of folks, the classic. So why not give the new one a different title or at least do like they did with the three new Star Wars? Like "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith". That way they don't detract from the new one. :shrug:Quote:

You don't remake the karate kid. Pat Morita can't be replaced by anyone...EVER. See the problem is Jackie is this...ever see asian? Baby face, never have beards or stubble. So they put this piece of what looks like velcro over his lip and it looks so out of place it gave me flashbacks to my freshman year mustache contest.
HAHAHAHAHA!! I thought I was the only one who noticed that! Thats some funny shit right there man.Quote:

:lol: That's not even the funny part.. She usually screams and the guy looks @ her then runs away.. If I was pulling a job there would be no survivers lol..

I agree with all this recycled crap that they market to us is bullshit. There are a ton of movies produced annually, and most are original. Yet they don't recieve the same kind of backing from the studios.
Almost two years ago I worked on a movie called Miss January. I read part of the script and really liked. It was very cleaver and original. It never got past post production, they renamed it Meet Monica Velour, but never got a distribution deal for it. It sucks beacause it proably would have done well for what it was.
Either way I don't care as long as they pay me!
I heard they had a contest to see who could re-make the most lame movie ever.....looks like Wil Smith won

And I'm white.
That one actually looks like it may be good. However I wonder if anyone will actually get shot after spraying thousands of rounds.. Also maybe someone will actually call the cops?:dunno::lmao:Quote:

Yea yea whatever if you guys think Dane Cook isn't funny, i think he's funny and all the door talk and breaking in seemed appropriate for this video.

The last time he got picked up (and did real time) he confessed to over 80 break-ins in a two month period. This was to support a $500 a day herion addiction. No bullshit.Quote:

And that is why it will probably suck.
I'm thinking of another guy who had a project close to his heart, he finally made it happen, and starred in it. What was the name of that? ... oh yeah. It was Travolta and the movie was Battlefield Earth.
:lmao:
I saw the poster for this and I thought, oh man they actually remade this movie and with a chick at that. Then I saw the name of the actor. I'll watch it but it's not theater worthy, a Demonoid cam will do.
You must have forgotten about the next karate kidQuote:
