The Karate Kid

A new version of The Karate Kid is coming out this year starring Jackie Chan. This is the first feature length movie that I can remember seeing the original version as a kid, being a fan, and now not wanting to see the new version because it won't compare. First, Mr. Miyagi was from Japan, not China. Second, Daniel Son was from Jersey, not Detroit. Third, IT'S KARATE KID, not KUNG FU KID! Check out the IMDB page here.

But the movie is about a kid from Detroit who moves to China, not a kid from Jersey who moves to Racita, CA. So I am interested to see what landmarks will be included and how they portray the D.
