Jackie Chan: The Karate Kid or The Kung Fu Kid?
We’re very confused! Months ago Will Smith was heard on Chris Moyles’ Radio One breakfast show that he was working on The Karate Kid remake with the same name starring his son and Jackie Chan in shortly China, then Jackie was picked up in the press saying it was called The Kung Fu Kid not The Karate Kid because young Jaden Smith was actually being trained in traditional Kung Fu not Karate but one of his top stuntmen, Wu Gong.
OK, then the film studio bounced back saying Chan had made a mistake and the film was still called The Karate Kid… a month or so later they changed their mind and announced it was in fact The Kung Fu Kid and today what do we see on the Sony Pictures website for up coming films for next year? A poster for The Karate Kid! We hope someone can make up their minds what to call the film before it’s Summer 2010 release…

Maybe this is a teaser poster for the film but even so it should have the correct film title displayed…

ever since i heard the news of the remake with Chan as the mentor i had a problem with the Karate Kid title. Chan isn’t japanese (i think virtually the whole world knows this) & i’ve never seen him perform karate on screen before. if they were calling it Karate Kid again, then why not get a real Japanese sensei to portray the master – no offence to Jackie, love his movies.

Why the hell is Jackie Chan doing this film? So sad… The guy has so much talent…
