I live in Beijing China in Shunyi..

I go to an International school so at my school all the boys are auditioning.. I would kill to meet Will smith... but im a girl so its really hard to get a role cuz there is probably 100,000 girls who would wanna do this too and the main girl has already been chosen..

will smith is the best actor ever

i'm down for this if only to hear the inevitable remix of best around that Will is going to end up recording

dis lookz liek it wil be ttly awesum lulz!!

1 |o3t wil sm17|-|5 S0/\/ w1l1 |3e 77Ly |-|4w7.

I'd rather suffer through another Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Segal action flick than watch this garbage when it comes out. Geez.

this idea is pathetic.

will smith is an idiot.

Hey I'm sorry but Noriyuki (Pat) Morita is the ONLY Mr. Miyagi my friend. Steven Chow cant even speak Japanese I bet.

I live in Japan now, and people always ask me "Hey what do Americans think of Japan?" and I show them Karate Kid II when they go to Okinawa

I love it at the end when they take that kid's taiko and everyone starts rubbing it like they are all cheering for him. Don't be fooled like I was! Thats not Japan! haha

This is almost worse than having bill clinton as president again

please do not make this movie. Karate kid 4 was just awful and this one will be probably the worst movie ever! karate kid 1-3 were the only good ones(mainly 1 and 3 because of Cobra Kai). PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people, people, people... please re-read the title "The Kung Fu Kid". not Karate Kid. besides all of you watched ever Jaws movie or friday the 13th, even rocky ever made. sure these movies have the same actors but batman, superman nor any of the james bonds movies had the same people in them but you watched them . So i say shoot for the stars Will. Steven Chow, Jackie Chan or Sammo Hung, makes no difference you can't lose w/ anyone of these guys all three are awsome. go "PRINCE"go.

they cant come up with an original ideas anymore?

I generally find the notion of a remake amusing... not this time. I find it rediculous. A 9yo boy has no business being Danny LaRusso... and more Jaden doesn't look a bit italian. Part of the whole flavor of it was a displaced Jersey youth of Italian hertiage. Just the same as Miyagi is an Okinawan. To replace this combonation with a very cute young African American, and Chinese pairing would be rediculous at best, and will throughly fail at honoring the original.

Is the movie going to take place in Iowa? That's the only situation I can imagine, in which an Hollywood kid might be able to pull off being convincingly displaced.

i couldnt agree more that the original shouldnt be remade. its a classic and it should be left alone. just look how crappy "the next karate kid" with that chick was.if your a fan of the original you tube "sweep the leg" by no more kings. heres an idea make a new movie with the original cobra kai and macchio. it could be about their kids duking it out. like i said just an idea.

Hopefully this never gets made. Just like he should have never been casted for the lead in the Wild Wild West remake, he should have nothing to do with a classic like this. Another opportunity to shove his family down our throats.

I hope it tanks.

MAK, JACKIE, totally agree, .... I'm a japanese girl, am telling you, you can't replace Miyagi-san, he's actually American-Japanese whatever, not matter...... and why do you really want/have to remake karate kid! Leave it alone, honestly, pls!!!

You've got to be kidding me. There is no need to remake a movie like this, they got it right the first time. Will, go back to fighting robots and zombies.

This movie will be full of Fail. You can't remake classics successfully. There are exceptions but in general they lose money.

Crappy movies do not belong in this dojo, do they? NO SENSAI!

Sammo Hung, would be my choice.

Well, why don't they just turn Mr Miyagi into a kung-fu (that's right, not karate) version of Michael Jackson and be done with destroying all my childhood memories? The only thing that's left now is making a movie about evil smurfs that kill little children in their sleep.

because we need another freakin' remake of a classic, right?

ARGH

DHIAFBVNS;'BSLGV; BA;KJVDBH'PDWZEXSDRCTFVGYBHUNJK

NOOOOOOOOO!!!! I am so dissapointed. They can NOT, i repeat NOT make this movie. I wasnt even born when karate kid came out but i am a devoted fan. Macchio is an amazing actor and not mention he was soooo hot. He was the perfect guy for the part and pat was the perfect mr.myagi. If will goes through with this he can kiss his career goodbye. I used to like him but now that i know this silly thought crossed his mind i will never listen to his music or watch a single movie with smith in it again.

call me crazy but someone needs to knock some sense into this man.

i am going to mourn now.

=[

Oh, bring it on!!

Although, it's not actually clear if this will be a direct rip of 'The Karate Kid' or a movie along the same lines.

If it's supposed to be based on the original, then Mr. Miyagi should definitely be played by a Japanese actor (Takeshi Kitano anyone?) and Jaden Smith would be a horrible choice for Daniel LaRusso, instantly ruining any credibility this premise may have had.

I hope they don't go the UFC route either.. this was already done with the recently released - 'Never back down'

I hope he remembers one phrase:

"Sweep the leg, Johnny!"

Sounds like a crappy deal, too bad for Wil Smith. Also, "alot" is actually two words, two, words. "a lot" thanks.

NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo!

-sigh-

(Type your comment here. Make sure you've read the commenting rules before doing so) THE KARATE KID"...remake? I" like, really , the story not repeat again please!!!....Ralph Macchio is back ,in the skin of the master .,And Jaden Smith is the new "san", whit a new story,you know , the karate kid continued ..... bye,my name is Gaston ,I"m from Uruguay(south america).

Jaden Smith is too young to play the rol of Ralph Macchio. He is a 9 years old boy. Karate Kid is all about teenagers and the 80's.

Besides none one can replace Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi... not even Jackie Chan.

Who's funding this? Have they been drug tested recently? It's going to be awful.

You have got to be kidding me remaking probably the best movie from the 80s whats next Morgan Freeman in Easy Rider..some things should stand on their own...Will back away from the crack man

Kinda sad to see Will Smith use the same old stereotypes.

Why not make one called The UFC Kid and have a some UFC fighter teach an Asian kid?

Uh... WHAT?

WELCOME TO ERF!

"Would HAVE," not "would OF."

Agree... AWWW HELL NAW!

Actually, the way I read it, it's going to be the Kung Fu Kid. Using the name Mr. Miyagi might just be a place-holder name for the "teacher" of the movie. It would then make sense that they are looking at Chinese actors. OR, they're just xenophobic boobs who just have no idea what they are talking about.

FAIL!!

Fail.

re: Mos

"Geisha" refers to the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha", in which Japanese characters were played by Chinese actresses

fail

I would just like to point out that Will Smith is a Scientologist. Calling a Scientologist "down-to-earth" is kind of like calling Tom Cruise tall. So, yeah. I'm not in the least surprised that Willy thinks this is a good idea.

I will agree this movie shouldn't be made, but certainly not because it's ruining a classic... rather because it's resurrecting a piece of excretus that should have been buried in a pit and forgotten.

Unfortunately, I saw Karate Kid several times in the 80's, so I can also point out that Mr. Miyagi was not Japanese or Chinese, but Okinawan - and calling an Okinawan "Japanese" is about as smart as calling a Scotsman "English".

"geisha"? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

fail.

Stephen Chow? Jackie Chan? Oh dear, as much as i have very high regards for those two thespitainers, it's the ol' geisha error once again. Mr miyagi = japanese. those two = chinese. That;s probably like saying Will Smith is the obvious choice for a remake of Gandhi.

I just find it funny, looking at the comment dates, that the only comments where made on the day that the article was written, and the day Cracked.com wrote an article about it.

Epic.

i cant wait till these retards start remaking remakes that were already remade. this is the worst idea ever. sorry but no kid will be as perfect for the role of daniel larusso as macchio. more importantly karate kid is a time piece, back in the 80s everyone was karate/ninja crazy. these days its all about that ufc mixed martial arts shit.

and let me guess, zach effron is playing jonathan lawrence.

i would rather listen to a new will smith cd than watch him ruin this classic.

Fixed, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

In paragraph three, "I would of" should be "I would have." Just because have and of are pronounced the same by people doesn't make them interchangeable.

Look, I'm sorry, but I just couldn't read this beyond the first couple of paragraphs. It is "would HAVE," not "would OF." Man, some grammatical errors are easy to get through, but that one just grinds the entire article to a halt...

I said it once...I'll say it again.

Forget Chow and/or Chan for Myagi.

Sammo Hung.

Sammo Hung.

Sammo Hung.
