it's probably more named for the franchise than the fighting style LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 18/06/2010 11:52:40 AM
I'm actually really looking forward to it. Jackie Chan has enough pull, particularly in this type of film, that I hope he won't let it suck. And overall, it looks pretty hardcore-awesome. That little kid looks like a badass who won't do any of that whimpering "but this is SO HARD" nonsense.

And just looking at the scowls on those little bullying brats faces in the trailers makes me SO eager to see them get their faces kicked in.
Still Empress of the Poofy Purple Pillow Pile Palace!!
Continued Love of my Aussie <3

OK, the trailer makes it look good Camilla - 18/06/2010 01:24:48 PM 588 Views
I understand LadyLorraine - 18/06/2010 02:07:34 PM 585 Views
I've seen it subtitled on some posters as Kung Fu Kid *NM* Deadsy - 18/06/2010 02:07:10 PM 191 Views
That's the name in China. "Karate" is just the term Americans recognize for martial art. *NM* Aemon - 18/06/2010 02:07:43 PM 221 Views
I don't think it's THAT pathetic. It's just because they kept the title of the film being remade. TaskmasterJack - 18/06/2010 10:22:19 PM 453 Views
Because fear does not exist in this dojo, does it? *NM* Tigr - 18/06/2010 02:47:04 PM 227 Views
Is it called a dojo if it's in China? *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 02:48:21 PM 176 Views
No, it's a 武館, or wŭguăn. Vodalus - 19/06/2010 04:06:48 AM 540 Views
I take it "wu" is the fighting bit? Camilla - 19/06/2010 09:09:04 AM 462 Views
Yes, the same 'wu' as in Wudang. *NM* Vodalus - 19/06/2010 07:13:58 PM 285 Views
Strike first! Strike hard! No mercy, sir! *NM* TaskmasterJack - 18/06/2010 10:23:18 PM 207 Views
It is called Karate Kid to gain an additional financial boost from nostalgia & pop culture RugbyPlayingAshaman - 18/06/2010 02:52:56 PM 576 Views
See, I know that. But in my world that does not constitute an excuse. *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 02:54:32 PM 221 Views
I'm on your side. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 18/06/2010 10:23:36 PM 222 Views
Is "gong fu" the new alternative spelling for "kung fu" now? I wondered in Gone-Away World. *NM* Legolas - 18/06/2010 04:23:12 PM 186 Views
So it would seem Camilla - 18/06/2010 04:25:17 PM 494 Views
*lol* So nice of you. *NM* Legolas - 18/06/2010 06:02:10 PM 222 Views
Always. *NM* Camilla - 18/06/2010 06:03:48 PM 226 Views
Yes, from Mandarin instead of Cantonese. Vodalus - 19/06/2010 04:08:02 AM 580 Views
the movie was slow and it sucked Aisha - 19/06/2010 11:16:30 PM 527 Views
