Interesting,

1. It is in China ( its a kung fu country)
2. Jacky Chan = Kung Fu
3. the Kid is learning Kung Fu
4. To the Dumb ass people who made the movie should know better, there is a difference between Karate and Kung Fu.
5. Karate more or less developed Japan and is totally different in style.

Maybe they should rename it Kung Fu kid even tho the story line is a basically a remake of Karate Kid from the 80's otherwise despite the title is probably an interesting movie.

Hahahah, you get some rep points for that one!

Karate Kid is a icon of the 80s and I dont think it should be remade, but Ive always liked this storyline. Any sort of physical "rags to riches" via hard work route concept intrigues me.

Perhaps because I used to have the body of a wimp... (check photos)

Technically Karate is Chinese. Modern day Karate is the Japanese derivative of multiple Chinese fighting styles. Even the word Karate (the kanji actually) is Chinese in origin. It literally meant "Chinese Hand" and dates back to the Tang Dynasty (roughly 600-900 AD). The Japanese took the liberty of changing the connotation of the kanji nearly 1000 years later due to their conflict with the Chinese, and adopted the art as their own. Since then yes, Karate has evolved into many different styles, mainly in Japan, but it is very much a Chinese martial art.
