Jackie Chan Karate Kid Movie
Why did they name the movie as THE KARATE KID?
I haven’t seen the new movie yet. But in the trailers i did notice Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith trying out kung fu. Since its all about kung fu why did they name it as THE KARATE KID?
For everyone’s info, YES! I HAVE SEEN THE 1984 CLASSIC. Read the question clearly before you answer, please.
I heard it’s to honor Jerry Weintraub, the producer of the original and to refer it being a new version of the old one.
According to Wikipedia:
Unlike the 1984 film, The Karate Kid, the 2010 remake, despite its title, does not feature karate, which is from Okinawa, but focuses on the main character learning kung fu in China. Allegations of cultural ignorance and potential racism have resulted from the film’s title as the lack of distinction between Japanese and Chinese culture demonstrates deindividuation. Chan has told interviewers that film cast members have been referring to the film as the Kung Fu Kid, and he believes the film will only be called The Karate Kid in America, and The Kung Fu Kid in Asia. Despite this, the film will be released under the original title in Asian countries, except People’s Republic of China, Japan and South Korea.
