ok...just heard about this and watched the trailer ( with the sound turned off ).
just reading the description and watching the trailer visuals makes me ask......
Why is this called KARATE kid??!!
Shouldn't it be called KUNG FU kid??
This movie is set in China, not Japan. Jackie Chan is Chinese, not Japanese. Jackie Chan does Kung Fu, not Karate!! The moves in the trailer look like Kung Fu moves........
what does this have to do with karate??
maybe it's because I'm half-Chinese.....but I'd feel kind of insulted if this was clearly kung fu/Chinese based ( which it seems to be )....but still called Karate Kid...
I mean....is he learning karate from Jackie Chan or kung fu??!!
if they want to do Karate kid...why not set it in Japan and have him learn Karate from a Japanese Karate instructor???
