kung fu kid,otherwise known as karate kid does not in fact learn karate, but he learns kung fu. I thought i was so smart for finding this out when i was 8
Yeah that scene where the sensei says kung fu is everywhere or something I was like what shouldn’t it be karate lol
Kungfu means hard skills to master, so whole life we master many things that is kungfu. Wushu is name for martial arts not Kungfu yet you need kungfu in wushu as you need kungfu in all life . That was the meaning of Jackie said kungfu is everywhere
At least they should have used some traditional kung fu style instead of the made up stuff imo
@Osiris’s Pet Cat oh thanks for education, as english is not my first language has nothing to do with experience, being in martial arts for 36 years with world full contact champion as coach plus Wushu experience which is not kungfu style. Have you ever been in China ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I gotta give respect to the actors. Mostly because they put in a insane amount of work. Which is why I honestly think this instead of being a remake should have been it’s own thing.
It’s pretty bad though. Would have been more interesting with an older protagonist
@@michaelkennielsen1422 na
@@Nameless_TF if you think Jayden Smith is a good actor you cant be more then 12 :p
@@michaelkennielsen1422 I'm not saying he's a good actor lmao just saying it's better to have a young protagonist
@@michaelkennielsen1422 and if u need to bring age into a conversation then u must be a child still
You also failed to realize in the fight scene in the alley, Jackie never hit any of the kids. They hit each other. You can call it the art of fighting without fighting.
I get that Reference
Hoax experts I'd say
Somebody watched Enter The Dragon
@@Fatherofheroesandheroines it was from the movie Dragon but, it was about Bruce Lee so, you get half credit.
@@Thumper770 I know that but Bruce Lee says that to the European guy when he tricks him into getting into the boat.
9:40 if I remember correctly, Jack Chan said in an interview that at first he was apreensive about working with the kid of a coleague, specially because Jaden Smith seen a bit too averse to hard training when they first met, but that he was surprised with how dedicated Jaden showed himself to be when training for the scenes
Black kids are the best student for Kung fu.. 😳since the 60s
I agree, they should have just called it Kung Fu Kid everywhere, even in the US. It would be more accurate, satisfy more Karate Kid fans, and probably could have started a chain of "insert martial art kid" movies if they wanted to.
they couldnt, call it kung fu kid, becourse there was a chinese-japanese film allready called kung fu kid
Will Smith bought the rights to the name The Karate Kid. He was trying to cash in on the franchise from the 80s.
That’s also why Will has an EP credit for the Cobra Kai franchise as well.
@@dr.floridamanphd Exactly!
@@marcusfridh8489 Yeah it's a Jackie Chan movie who is starring in the karate kid reboot so it would be pretty annoying for him
Like the Muay Thai kid? XD after a while it'll all culminate in the MMA Kid.
I trained in Shaolin Snake Fist for years and that stance he was doing at the end was out of the first form of Twin Serpents Dance Under The Moon. I thought it was great that he emulates the look in his eye of the serpent, because we were encouraged to mimic even to those details.
That's pretty cool 😊
That's pretty awesome that it's a real thing
No way man!? I'm a student of the Shaolin Tiger Palm dojo and we practice the same thing when performing our Crimson Claw Crescent Kick technique... It's really difficult to get the paw twitches right, but when I do the move I really *feel* like a tiger, you know?
Ouch! You were putting someone in a world of pain.
@@vibratingwithmotion2177 Now I'm wondering what the fuck the art I got slapped into by my mother as a kid was doing. I wanted to learn Jiu Jitsu, but she has a thing for Shaolin Kung Fu. They had techniques based on different animals, but we didn't get taught a specific one unless we seemed more in tune. It's been years, so I don't remember any names or anything, just that I kept getting told water and cranes. I heard that SO much and it irritated me because I was pretty convinced I was being insulted since they didn't explain anything, and I was a dumb kid.
It's impressive about that first fight between Jackie and the bullies, in that he never strikes them. He uses defensive moves to have them inflict pain upon themselves. He never wants to hurt the kids, but they'll only do it to themselves through his defense.
2:15 I believe The reason it becomes longer is more due to the difference between what both teachers were doing. Miyagi was actually kicking their butts, while here he was deflecting, pushing back, and allowing them to hit each other.
plus it kind of helped there was a bigger age difference the young adults in karate kid orig that where old enough to know better.
Jackie Chan originally named the movie Kung Fu Kid, however the producers felt the recognition and familiarity made the name change necessary.
actually, they called Jackie asked him if he wanted to be in the new Karate Kid and he forgot he was getting older and asked " ooh whos the master? " and thats his own words..
@@Karnalzion what does that have to do with kung fu kid
@@airenie3890 The karate Kid, he was aske to play a role in it not name it..
Karate originated from White Crane Kungfu in China.
This movie is not made by Jackie Chan in any way other than starring in it. It is very apparent from the editing in the fight scenes alone, Jackie hates the American action editing style. Will Smith, who was one of the producers, owns the rights to the Karate Kid franchise and this was basically just a money grab and a way to get his son on screen.
He actually did everything by himself he was trained 3 months everyday before making the movie and all the stunts was the kid doing by himself saw it in an interview with Jackie and they were showing behind the scenes✌️
In English we say, "You are never too old to learn". I am 66 and learning still! You are teaching me about what is not karate and what is, so thank you.
We say that in many languages
@@legolizard3d And now he's learned that!
We also say "can't teach an old dog new tricks" so I mean.... Words, yeah.
@@oduinn7948who tf says that that's not true
dang unc you old
A special place remains for the original however I absolutely loved this version. I understand the moves are generated for movie sequences but I must wonder what kind of experience and lessons Jaden received from Jackie in real life 💕
Jackie Chan makes this movie. It was great to see him in a serious role. That scene in his car is actually pretty upsetting.
At the end fight scene, when he raises his leg, he's mimicking the lady with the snake that he saw up at the mountain temple.
9:30
Jayden actually trained hardcore for 3 months before the movie was made so yeah, he had some good training 😂👏👏👏👏👏
For real, imagine him going vs. Daniel LaRusso, he would win so badly
@@Dangangela6565 You right bro I kinda over exaggerated with the “so badly”. Dre would win but it wouldn’t be easy for him since he’s pretty short and weights only a bit.
I love this film. Don’t care if it’s king fu or karate it’s a well made film and inspiring . Loved it. Brilliant acting
I really loved both films: Original Karate Kid 1 and this one. They both had a great karate-kid and a great sensei. I could really believe in them, hurt, cry, celebrate with them.
I did get kinda annoyed that they named the movie The Karate Kid when the movie was about Kung Fu. I think it was more for marketting that they kept the movie's title. If they were to name it The Kung Fu Kid or something different, it might not be as markettable. However, it did have Jackie Chan, which would make the movie more appealing.
Yes! I still hate that they called this Karate Kid to this day.
Will Smith owns the rights to The Karate Kid. He was simply trying to cash in on the nostalgia attached to the name and give his son a vehicle to raise his profile as an actor.
@@dr.floridamanphd it wasn't Will Smith who made the call. It was the producer Jerry Weintraub. HE was the one who wanted to cash in on the name from the original. And he produced both, so he felt he was entitled to make that call. So put the blame where it belongs: Jerry Weintraub, NOT Will Smith.
yeah kung fu kid sounds like a ripoff from assylum films
Karate Kid AliExpress edition
Jaden smith the actor who plays dre,was trained in wushu,kickboxing and boxing by jackie chan and his stun team for a whole year,he had to be able to go into splits in all directions and the backflip at the end,he actually did,he did all his stunts and all the martial arts moves,and he ran the entire great wall of china three times with water breaks,jaden said himself that the training was so hard especially the splits that he would break down crying while doing splits,he had to situps,pushups and all kinds of exercises and it paid of cuz the movie was a hit,and all this he did at the age of 10-11
Ran the entire Great Wall of China? That's 3,460 kms long, not including the branches.
LMFAOOO
@@KenMikaze and thats why you know the comment about running it three times is cancerous bullshit from someone who thinks lego is a food group
thats actually not the great wall of china . its the badaling great wall and its about 5 miles long
All that and it still didn't make him a better actor, nor did it make him any less annoying.
Since Jaden’s character was reviewing a karate video tape at the beginning, I always just assumed that “The Karate Kid” was intended to be a sarcastic jab that someone had used on him in some moment of embarrassment (perhaps in a scene that had been dropped, or simply in an offscreen moment somewhere in the narrative).
One thing that sticks with me from some of the earlier fights in this movie - Jackie Chan’s footwork. Watch the scene where he is dealing with all the bully kids, and just watch his feet.
It is, his mom calls it that and he goes “it’s not karate mom” lol
This movie is underrated and beautifully done! ❤️❤️❤️ It just should have been named The Kung Fu Kid 🤷🏼♀️💯
In Chinese, it is called “Kung Fu Kid” but it’s just the English translation that made the name “ Karate Kid”.
In China the movie was called Kung Fu Dream. Even Jackie Chan thought the movie should’ve been called Kung Fu Kid and people could still know it’s the remake of the original Karate Kid.
It would have been a smart marketing move too... think of all the spin offs... BJJ kid... Muay Thai kid... Capoera kid...
The problem is that most Americans don't understand the difference between karate and kung-fu...
Agree with you on that comment.
@@mauricea.tillman4956 I do
@@mauricea.tillman4956that’s stupid!
Did you only watch the fight scenes? During the training there’s a scene where Han takes Dre up a mountain to an old temple where (supposedly) his father trained, and at the top he sees a woman standing on a ledge engaging with a snake. Dre thinks she’s mimicking the snake but Han tells him that he doesn’t pay enough attention, and the snake was actually mimicking her hand’s movements. He explains that this technique is achieved by being completely calm, like still water, and everything around you will become a reflection of you. During that final fight, it’s another dramatic note that despite suffering the pain, he was able to completely calm himself like still water and “control” Cheng, who was not calm at all, which is what allowed him to dodge Cheng’s attack and counter with that flash kick.
And yes, that flash kick is possible. In the movie it’s pretty clearly a stunt man on wires but it is possible to do it. Landing it with only one leg would be very hard but not impossible. They went with that kick because technically that crane kick to the face from the original was illegal per most tournament rules. If you slow it down a bit this flash kick actually goes to the top of the shoulder close to the neck, making it perfectly legal.
As for the name choice, which is the biggest complaint that I see about the film, it was purely a marketing choice. Brand familiarity creates larger audiences, and “kung fu” is too broad of a term. There are countless forms and styles of Chinese martial arts, and grouping them all under the name “kung fu” can be offensive to some practitioners.
If you’re curious about forms, Dre’s style is Wushu, a much flashier and more acrobatic style than Shaolin, which Cheng uses. Wushu isn’t normally used for self defense, and is more about pushing the human body to its absolute acrobatic limits, which is why Dre does things that are somewhat impractical in the tournament. Shaolin has a very long and rich history within China, but Cheng’s instructor was made to be a mimic of the Cobra Kai instructor from the original. Even though there wouldn’t actually be a teacher like that, it was necessary for the film.
Side note: the differences in the two movies and the way they tell their stories is also mirrored in the differences between karate and Chinese martial arts. Karate was developed purely as a form of self defense. The first Karate Kid was primarily focused on the fighting. While there may have been a love story, it existed purely as a means to drive the rivalry between Daniel and Johnny. Chinese martial arts, on the other hand, as Han says, they live in everything we do. They are very heavily influenced by Taoist and Buddhist teachings, and are just as much about spiritual balance as they are about physical strength. Many were invented by observing animals fighting in the wild. Panther, Tiger, Crane, Snake, and Dragon are the main five in Shaolin. Similarly, this movie has much more dramatic and spiritual undertones than the original. The romance is there, but is completely separate from the rivalry and serves more as character development for Dre.

Thank you for your efforts on writing this!
Thanks mate, I'm one of the 28 people who have had the pleasure to read this :)
I dont like reading something long, but dam the amount of time you take to write this
Karate originated from White Crane Kungfu in China.
The kids Jackie were fighting were a lot younger. If you pay attention, he never actually hits them. He makes them beat themselves up instead. That is why his scene was longer.
You're missing so much dude and remember Jackie Chan was one of the five on all Chinese wushu team. He has a mountain of knowledge and choreographed a lot of this. When you do a form you need to look for similarities and ignore the nitpickers. You can do a lifetime study off a simple down block
I'm glad you're watching this. From most people's comments, I've learned they don't like this movie. When I first saw it, I really did not want to like it because I thought of the original as the classic. And there is no better Mr. Miyagi, than Mr. Miyagi. But, as soon as this film opened, I was moved by the moving scene in which Dre had to say goodbye to his longtime home and friends. I know you don't really watch these for the music, but the James Horner (Titanic, Field of Dreams) music was captivating in that scene. And later on in the training montage, it was inspirational. But getting to the martial arts, whatever type it is, I thought it was very authentic. I was wincing in some of the fight scenes. I like the movie a lot and watch it every time it's on.
People don’t like it just because it’s a reboot. Maybe it’s not about karate, but it’s good movie
@@thesun564 I'm still holding out hope that somehow this is still canon to the Karate Kid universe. I think there are definitely some ways they could write Dre Parker into Cobra Kai. Kinda like a Fast & Furious extended universe type thing like how they rolled Tokyo Drift into the timeline later like this little thing happening on the side but the characters are still side characters for the main universe.
@@shoePatty Oh wow I never even thought of that, that would be sick! Imagine it Jaden Smith shows up in Cobra Kai!!
@@thesun564 or Jackie Chan!
@@Kalbuir66 Keep crying bro. U seem so hurt over something so insignificant. Jaden is a fine actor. He’s nothing special but for a kid, he did a pretty good job in this movie. Also just because he’s not cannon doesn’t mean he can’t be made cannon, that seems to be a popular thing as of recently. Tho I doubt Jaden would return to his role just for a smaller show like Cobra kai, since he’s got a pretty good music career now.
The bamboo and rope was used in a few Jackie Chan movies where there were training sequences like the first Drunken Master movie. And I love this movie. The original holds nostalgia and more believable villains, but this one was a lot of fun.
Yea I saw it in the drunken master training
Absolutely the last kick was real! You have to put the making of Karate Kid 2010 UA-cam and it shows how the kick was done. Just remember this was more of just a fun movie to watch.
Pat Morita was a billiant comedian with a genius level sense of the scene.
That's what made The Karate Kid iconic.
He even made his lack of fighting skill appear to be the subtlety of a master.
At the same time, the original was too iconic to emulate so I think they did a brilliant job of giving today's kids a different spin on the concept/genre.
That is why I appreciate my coach for teaching me Muay Thai, it was all brutal and difficult but worth it.
@Jake LaGotta I trained with a Dutch veteran of the Ramon Dekkers and Ernest Hoost group of fighters.
Gongfu roughly means "skill through hard work". It's a bit like the Japanese definition of taijutsu. A farmer can have good taijutsu, a road worker can also have good taijutsu. They simply have good technique for whatever it is they're doing.
i vaguely remember a friend explaining that to me. after hearing that, i was... surprised and humbled with the way he was regarding my skill in a card game before that conversation took place.
never mind after 20+ years of playing said card game, as far as i'm concerned, i'm still terrible at it. but i digress.
Yes but it also means long life achievement so anything you have worked for in your life and you steadily working for it that means good kung fu the term should be in English I forget the terminology for trainees The Way of the Fist would be Chinese martial arts forget how that's pronounced in Chinese so someone with a farm that was a former or four generations would have legendary going for because of their Generations lay down a foundation of kung fu kung fu is like the monarchy system of Japan
Reminds me of what 100 Eyes said about everyone can have 'good kung-fu' in Marco Polo
The thing that martial artist or disciple ignores. They prefer sparring than Gongfu.
@@caesarhiro3630 gongfu or kung fu kung fu it's the same in English that it is in Chinese gongfu the ignorance is not the pronunciation but not understanding the difference between the countries and the languages it means the same thing between the East and the West the ignorance relies on trying to be wise and not knowing the difference between subtle names not knowing that it means the same thing regardless of the tongue to respond as such shows me lack of restraint shows me that if you are a practitioner of kung fu or gongfu it's still the same the only difference is the direction that you're going east or west and the travels of their from east or west every tongue is different so it's not the ignorance but we're speaking or how we're speaking it cuz we all agree upon one thing what it means to have good gongfu for Good kung fu is the same long-life achievement distinctive someone should conform to your language or the pronunciation just for your sake when it means the same means that our ignorance ways out yours for you cannot see the same thing is the same thing just spoke differently from east to west I don't write in Chinese I write in English I don't speak Chinese I speak English whatever I speak in English can be translated into Chinese and vice versa but the only difference is the spelling but the meaning is the same so they say which one is better in the spelling or to correct someone is insolence of ignorance for if you would have said the original name or how you say it is this gongfu then I would not have to write this remember there is no dividing line between east and west only the language in the places you visit and the way you travel west to east east to west it doesn't matter you just keep moving can stay motivated
In my country, the word 'karate' is an umbrella term or a broad term used to describe mostly all variations of martial arts. It was only as I got older I learned that karate was in itself a Japanese style of martial arts and then I realized that there were actually different respective forms of martial arts. For us, Kung Fu, Wushu,, Snake style, Taekwondo, etc...were all referred to as 'karate'.
Thank you as always for the wonderful review! There is a line in the beginning somewhere, Dre's mom says something about him learning 'karate' and Dre is like, 'Come on Mom! It's not karate, it's kung fu!' So, the title was referencing that joke. I watched this film before finding the original. At this point I think that was an advantage to me. Because it was my first experience with the story, I loved this one, but the original is untouchable so I love it as well! Best of both worlds in my opinion.
Since I was a kid I’ve been watching Jackie Chan movies, and he’s always taking his jacket off and putting it back on, or taking somebody else’s jacket, using it against them and throwing them around, putting on their jacket and then kicking them and punching them.. always some wild concoction of Jackie’s moves. it’s insane.. So I like to think that this part in the movie where he’s teaching Jaden how to take a jacket off and put a jacket on is his way of teaching like Miyagi and other Okinawan people the first Karate Kid installments. I’d have to say that’s one of America’s favorite Jackie Chan moves.. I hope that made sense. So, there’s even less Karate, and more Jackie-Kung Fu
I can confirm working with wood sticks really exists in few styles. It's also useful for legs reinforcement and kicks explosiveness. It's used for example in Baihe Quan learning, from which To-te and Karate comes from.
The last stance is a Snake's style defensive stance, even if never used like this, jumping in a reverse kick... But that's quite impressive though.
That's an impossible kick and just Hollywood stuff
@@renato7184 that's not impossible, since few people are able to perform it. It's an unefficient kick, and easy counterable, but not impossible
@@Yeino in that form is totally impossible, that was all wire fu to look good. They could at least had used some real acrobatic kick
@@renato7184 Some have already done this kick in wushu competition, as well as in figure skating... It is real acrobatics, and it does exist, event if you're not aware of it.
@@Yeino not defying gravity like that, that's obvious wires.
When I love a franchise, I love it as a whole. Yes I even love The karate kid 4. Which actually was my dad's favorite. Yes they should've just called it Kung Fu kid. The actors did a really good job, just as good as the original in a way. People get so caught up on technicalities. Were the actors the best? No. But they were still as loveable in my eyes.
Karate Kid 4 would be "The Next Karate Kid" starring Hilary Swank and Pat Morita
Hi.
I was a military brat in my youth. I studied Okinawan Kempo under Master Saekichi Odo in the late 80's and early 90's in Okinawa Japan.
He handed me a brown belt himself before I returned to the United States at the age of 15.
I just plain like these kind of movies.
I've been watching your reviews over the last few days and it's very enjoyable content.
Thank you for this.
From the moment I trained in Karate and for my life to date. I have not been in a fight. I feel like I was trained well.
Kuro-Obi will satisfy you from a karate standpoint. You gotta watch it!
Yeah aka blackbelt, offence vs defence is the moral of the story i took from it. My fave karate movie.
oh yeah that's a very good movie
when he wraps his legs around the kids head andd flips backwards, thats actually a pro wrestling move called a hurricanrana.
it is also a Viet Vo dao takedown
Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift is a better modern day take of Karate Kid
Hit him with a shoot hurricanrana lol
@@1individeo Yes. I'm Vietnamese and I see it in Viet Vo dao.
Logic: How do you know they didn't copy it from WWE?
It's too fantastical to have a basis in reality.
To be honest one of my main problems with this movie was that the kids were too young for me to be able to 'enjoy' the anger and violence of the plot. Plus the final kick was achieved using special effects and that blows it for me.
Totally agree. They should have waited a few more years to make this film. Because of the kids ages, and in particular Jaden, it did not feel authentic. For example, the "romance" element, was like watching kids kissing in the playground.
to my untrained eye, i always felt that throughout this movie, the kid that elbowed his knee was probably the most skilled martial artist of the actors
Unlike the first karate kid where they literally took a grown man in his 20s that looked young and he learned karate for the movie. Jayden Smith had been taking martial arts since he was a young child. so although he had to learn some different style for the movie he already had a good base of fitness and martial arts to start from. This is probably why he was so flexible. I am sure he probably took the opportunity to learn from Jackie anything he wanted to teach him outside of the movie.
Doesnt matter, this movie sucks and original Karate Kid is a classic. Period🤷♂️
The movie may have been bad, but having the opportunity to spend time learning from a martial arts legend like Jackie Chan would be an amazing experience.
@@L4Z3RB0Y nah its low key better than the classic
@@thebigdoom1219 misleading title and horrible fight scenes except for jackie chan overall its a decent movie
"He's light and small so it's easier for him to do it" - this is true, but not by as much as many people assume. Part of being small and light is that your muscles are smaller and lighter along with the rest of you. The lack of muscle is part of the size difference, so you lose almost as much lifting power as you're cutting back the weight you have to lift.
The end kick is very possible it's a essentially some kind of pivot one legged flash kick, difficult but not impossible especially for someone his weight (faily sure this is on wires though), it also resembles a gainer switch which we use in tricking all the time main difference is we kick more with the leg off the floor for lift and then the grounded leg kicks over to find the ground to repeat the process
I do acrobatics and that last kick is very possible, very similar to a Gainer switch leg, which is a common begginer move in tricking, which has grown in popularity more recently in film. It is very hard to do perfectly in one place and be able to get your chest back up after to stand up straight.
I think he's mixing the Snake with the Crane in the last round!
I'll admit I absolutely love Jackie Chan in this film, I think it's one of his best roles.
I appreciate Jackie's work, however most of his work involves being overly visual and comedic. In this film he did more with less.
I was born in 2010 and karate kid is still my favorite until today
sir,
you are so humble, full of knowledge and pleasure to watch.
many thanks,
kenny elster
As someone who’s favorite movie is the original Karate kid, the remake was pretty decent. I think the original is still better due to the more engaging characters, however I do like the more dramatic tone this movie had.
@@ItsMeBarnaby I don't think they're 7 maybe like 13 to 15 but these kids could still probably defeat anybody in cobra kai because they train like shaolin monks who train harder than navy SEALS
@@ItsMeBarnaby 😐7?
It was an amazing movie. They took the original and made the bullying more believable because of the kid's age, the change in setting was inspired. Jackie Chan's performance was great. The scene with the car and Dre forcing him to help train always makes me smile. The mountain top temple stuff was amazing, the tournament was great....basically, I just think it gets a LOT of unfair hate because they called it "Karate Kid". And although I love Cobra Kai, i do also wish this film had gotten a sequel. I wanted to see Mr. Han again.
I can appreciate it as a separate story. I also lived in Asia for a time so I can appreciate that part of leaving everyone you know behind.
yeah that slow ass fighting and inflexible moves are better than fluid moves of this movie. i liked the story of original karate kid but man the fighting feels extremely sub par
I really love Jackie Chan in this movie. Jaden feels a little odd, but he was young at the time. the fights I like, though the bullies in this movie I kinda can't take as seriously as Johnny
It's a bad movie. The title itself is so misdirected
In the karate kid, Johnny wasn't the bully. Daniel just couldn't stop fucking with Johnny's personal business.
the kids felt like younger versions of those bad guys from the kung fu movies of th e70's and 80's Still fun to see Jackie in this kind of role. Will Smith actually produced this and also was behind the Cobra Kai series some. So it worked out full circle in a way.
I don't like Jayden Smith now, but I did like him in his role here. Jackie and Jayden's interaction gives me chills sometimes. I thoroughly enjoy this movie.
@Jake LaGotta I never said he didn't. I said he did. Respect :) Only way it got made in the first place.
EVERYONE REMEMBER THAT CAPOEIRA WAS THE 1ST MARTIAL ART TRAIN HE GOT WHILE IN THE US. HIS KICKS AND MOVES ARE A COMBINATION OF WU SHU AND THAT.
Loved this movie so Heartwrenching when Jackie chan sat in the car and the kid comes too him in my view this was jackie chan showing just how good his acting is ✌
2:17 Ironically, when the actor has more training and skill they end up making the fights longer to look good on film with a lot of show boating...which is the exact opposite of being effective in real life ^_^
I also think it was longer since Mr Han didn't really want to hurt the kids and was fighting mostly on the defensive. If he went full offensive it might have been over in seconds but he used their strengths against themselves instead of hitting them directly, and I actually liked how it portrayed his ideals
The person who coriographed the original karate kid was Kung Fu trained and that is why you have the crane kick at the end which is a Kung Fu kick and not a karate one. They showed Kung Fu this time to get the Chinese audience and used the name to help bring in audience in the US. The put on and take of jacket I think is meant to be a block known as bon tsau, (sorry if I have spelt it wrong I don't know it written down.)
I love this kind of show not because of the moves was fake or not. Cause i didn't know about martial arts but i just love their creativity by creating new moves or "creating new types of martial arts?"
I think my favorite detail in you can see jadens muscle tone change throughout the training sequences. Like his body change is the same way it would for anyone who is actually changing
I think reflexes is EXTREMELY important when doing martial arts. For me reflexes not only includes being able to move when an opponent attacks, but also being able to recall what move or maneuver to perform. I took Karate when I was younger, and I stopped going when I was a yellow belt and I beat a Brown Belt. My reflexes was too much for him to handle.
Wow you could have your own show...Yellow Belt Steel!
What even is this comment?
Arrogant much ?
I do kendo and beat many people above my rank in competition. That doesnt make me the baddest fighter though.
People do martial arts for different reasons. I aim to learn but also compete. Some dont want to compete as much.
Also reflexes are important but moreso is anticipation and explosivness.
OG Karate Kid: Asian man fights bullies TWICE his size and wins
Remake: Asian man fights bullies HALF his size and wins
not to mention they are practically out of elementary school in the remake and about to graduate high school in the original.
Jackie Chan did it so well that he never striked them
Basically he made them fight themselves he's like a puppeteer and the bullies are just mere puppets
@@Viciouseee who cares? they are in elementary school and he is a grown @ss adult. OG Miyagi would just say "Just go call Mother, she deal with problem"
@@eddyandthebadcheese2247
Can you really say that the fight scene in the original was better than this one overall? Action wise, no, not really. The remake has much better choreography.
Sensei, correct me if I am wrong, I remember that my sensei told me that Karate used to be written in Japanese as 唐手, which means "Tang hands" in Chinese. Karate has more similarities in Wushu than we can all fathom. Some katas in Karate also came from Five Ancestors Kungfu and Incense Boxing.
I learned tae Kwon do when I was a kid. I learned a lot more about discipline and closing mind and focus, than I learned about fighting. I can't fight, I won't fight. But when something bad happens I can focus purely on the situation, and it feels amazing. Almost like time is slowing down and you can see things you couldn't normally see.
Fun fact: The original script drafted in 2008 had Mr. Han (initially a chauffeur and housekeeper to the Parkers) teach Dre karate.. Dre then would use karate against the bullies in a Kung-Fu tournament. Therefore earning the title of "The KARATE Kid."
Apparently, on set in 2009, cast and crewmembers referred to the film as "Kung Fu Kid" but for marketing purposes, the producers insisted the name still be "Karate Kid."
EDIT: Just found out that the child actor who played the main bully Cheng is now a member of Jackie Chan's Stunt Team.
And if you’re a Jet li fan, you see that same kid as the son, I can’t remember the name of it 😅
7:14 If you recall the first Karate Kid, Miyagi said his ancestor went to China and brought back what he learned to Okinawa. Miyagi used everyday movements in his "Karate".
I may be mistaken, but I am pretty sure Karate did originally come from Gung Fu a very long time ago and developed into it's own style. Most martial arts can be tracked back to Shaolin Gung Fu, as exercises the monks used.
...isn't Okinawa in Japan?
@@cinnamonrollypoly It falls under Japanese rule but it is a small island off of Japan. It's about 600km (380 miles) to the South/South-West of the main continent.
@@jonathanb1059 Many cultures have their own martial art styles. Asian martial arts are the most well known due to movies and media. Even in ancient Mesopotamia had their own fighting methods.
@@cinnamonrollypoly yes but karate stems from kung fu but then later on became more of its own style.
Everyone who practices martial arts needs a sensei like this dude who makes the videos. I studied for nearly 14 years (from early age upto my 20’s) I won my fair share of tournaments in 92/93, but out of all my teachers no one ever discussed the “stages” of learning. I had the movements down but my application was crap, in a tournament setting I was fine. But I’m real life I got my ass kicked every single time because I was never taught application (maybe I was too young I dunno) but I loved how this guy explained application in the first 10 minutes (when watching the training section).
that face on the final scene just embodied everything I felt when I watched it.... funny, funny stuff
I do taekwondo and there r a lot of spinning kicks we have. Some may say that they r not practical but I belive if one practice them the right way and have the confidence they can be used in real combat as well.
If fast its hard to dodge thrn its practical but nithing is faster than normal kick
No. the advanced flashy kicks are not practical in a real fight. I was instructor in TKD and competitive fighter at national level. Flashy kicks will lose while basics win. Competitive fighting in point tournaments it is almost all back fist, reverse punch, front leg side kick and front leg round house. everything else is to slow. you spin for any reason, competitor will jam your kick by simply stepping in and score his own.
@@firstlast-fr1le there are knockouts by spining kicks in MMA and kickboxing.. and they're usually devastating and may lead to serious damage
The continuous verb for LEARN is LEARNING
The final kick was real memorable for me because it’s the flash kick from Guile on Street Fighter.
i also trained under Mr. Pillap Rhee, who won a gold medal in the olympics.
he and grand master jun chong were so nice and full of endless skills.
I always felt that they should have ended the first Karate Kid movie, with the beginning of Karate Kid 2 (when Mr. Miyagi fights the Cobra Kai coach). However I liked the ending of this one, where the students all salute Jackie Chan, indicating they recognized that he was a better and more honorable teacher.
There is a deleted scene where had a fight between Jackie Chan and the other coach though. The other coach is about to strike his student for failing to beat Dre, and Jackie stops him. The coach then attacks Jackie, and we have a traditional Jackie fight where he immobilizes the other coach instead of hurting/killing him. However Dre's mother punches the coach afterwards.
Hi Sensei! The Jaden's last kick is possible. In Tricking (an acrobatic martial art) it's call Grand Master Swipe and is a pretty hard trick because it requires a lot of strenght on your legs to jump with only one of them. I'm sure that it's very hard, almost impossible, to hit somebody with this kick and land it as Jaden's did. Movie's effects can do anything😅
When I was young I studied martial arts... I also watched my son taking Karate and I would learn and practice on my own to help coach him... he also learned skateboarding skills... definitely their are some people who are able to function at the level as the student... I progressed faster than my brothers and I was much more flexible... I could kick above my head and with proper training I know I could have done the flipping kick he did at the end.... I know that the time he had to train it would have taken a ton of heart to accomplish it... with martial arts to have to get in the mindset of driving your meat to do what your mind tells it. To focus on your task and to be before the actions in the moments that you are sharing. The person or persons involved are sharing in the moments with you. If you are involved in a resolution you have to see it through with everyone else. Moving forward to the end and seeing how it ends is most important. You are never fighting someone you are always looking to remove all conflict with avoiding or resolving...
This movie also had Tai Chi moves in it. I practice Kung fu and Tai Chi. Karate and Kung fu are two different things. The bamboo training reminded me of Tai Chi. Get the stance, his hand is in single whip almost. It's so hard to split still. I still can't do the splits.
I was 8 when this was released. I absolutely loved it and still do. I see so many boomers complain about this movie and my response is always the same, it was NOT made for them it was made for kids and it worked it made almost ten times its budget at the box office.
Exactly, the only reason some people dislike this movie is because it bring out the magic of the original Karate Kid. Plus the fight scenes in this movie were a lot better to be honest
BOOMERS DIDN'T WATCH KARATE KID. THE AUDIENCE WAS GENERATION X... WE WERE CHILDREN IN THE 80'S AND 90'S . I HAD KARATE KID TOYS. DANIEL'S FIGHTING WAS AWFUL. IT'S STILL AWFUL...
I know a lot of people don’t like this movie for no good reason. I mean it’s usually just cuz “it’s not as good as the old one” it in all honesty I like it and it’s probably objectively better. The fight scenes are eons better, and the characters are a lot better developed. The only gripe is probably that there is no actually karate in the movie 😂
This movie didn't feel natural like the originals did.
Fuck no this eats the original
@@Gnostic88 Sure cuz this movie wasn't naturally picked from a tree like the original was.
@Wowow Howow I mean I don't really see how. It's just a popular cheesy 80's flick with some fun moments and nice music.
I disagree as far as character development. Daniel is a very good character, you know what he wants. You know what his challenges are.
He is the new kid in town. Not a foreign country, just a new city. It’s far more relatable. He seems to make friends easily, but within his “station.” The element of class is huge, he’s a poor kid at a rich kid school. The bullies are the rich kids, and they are driven because he had the temerity to try and date a rich girl. That is all missing from the new film.
One of the most subtly powerful things about the original, which the new one took a more ham fisted approach with, is Mr. Miyagi’s back story. In one scene you learn that he is a Medal of Honor recipient from WWII, who fought for an adopted country that imprisoned his pregnant wife and let her and her newborn son die without so much as sending a doctor. Daniel presents an opportunity to have a family again in some small way. But it’s just damn good writing. Pat Morita’s performance in that scene again is subtle, yet heartbreaking. When Daniel learns all of this, he tends to him and offers a simple bow of respect to his sleeping teacher. One that he will never see, but drives home the relationship in a powerful way.
The original Avildson film is far superior because ultimately you care about what happens to the characters.
We used "push hands" in training, not poles. My sifu said much the same that "we should incorporate our teachings into every actions." Having taken both Shotokan and Hai Loung, I can say there are some translations. Hip rotations, flexibility, parallel and rotary, breath, balance and discipline. They differed greatly in hard and soft styles, though.
Dear Sensei - I competed weekly in Judo from age 7 to 13 (until 1976) in the States. Back then there was a TV series called "Kung Fu" with David Carradine. They did not hire Bruce Lee for the part. I did have a Bruce Lee poster on my wall just as he past. It was this series IMO that took a lot from for the 1st Karate Kid movie. This series & my Sensie taught me a lot for life.
The biggest training tool he gave me as a child was - When your mind is going too fast & you can not think - only think of a single candle flame in a dark room. TY Sir.
have you ever reacted to ong-bak? that movie was sick. the stairs scene being one continuous cut was nuts... can someone chime in here if he's done it yet? i havent dove into the channel yet
Jayden Smith actually learned kung fu from Jackie Chan during the filming of this movie. I actually expected this movie to be total crap. I only watched it because of Jackie Chan and discovered I liked it a lot. Kung fu is a very fluid art. I've said for a long time that karate is a hard art and king fu is a soft art. In karate (and tae kwan do) your block tend to be more like strikes. In kung fu, the block is more of a redirection of force.

I like Senseis comment very much in Japan we dont say now i have learnt something but,i am allways learning it is about attitude not to consider oneself perfect but allways a humble attitude the willingness to learn and not consider yourself faultless...
My kids did kung fu when they were young. Their do-jo was not about competing, rather it was teaching kids about self control, respect ect and also how to protect themselves against dangerous people. In their do-jo they learned many different styles of martial arts including Filipino sticks, so authentic kung fu probably not, but very useful.
I was taught a similar low block for kicks, though I was taught to trap the leg between my wrists. Also I love both karate kids equally. Especially the Mom in the 2010 version
The mom😂
I personally liked the newer one a lot better just because of the modern day take on the classic movie, and the much better action
I agree 🤜
Taste is a choice 🤪
Thank man,that was badass 🤟
Not a remake. But an addition to the franchise.
This Is not karate, this, Is Kung fu❤️
Will always be one of my favorite kid movies.
The way to tell the difference between a good teacher and a bad teacher, is that one teacher enters the room expecting to teach, and another enters the room with the intent to create an environment where everyone, teachers included, are always learning.
I've seen the new one first when I was still a kid, really enjoyed it back than
From a screenwriting perspective, it's pretty much a beat by beat copycat of the original Karate Kid film. Aside from the it's-not-karate perspective, I thought it was a reasonably entertaining film. My biggest disappointment throughout, though, was the flip at the end, where it was obviously wire-work. I wish they'd come up with something else.
Great observations about the two movies as well.
I was 8 when this Karate Kid movie came out but, I had no idea there was an original until my dad told me it was a remake...I watched this over and over again. In fact, after I finished Cobra Kai season 4 I watch this one right after. I have seen all the original Karate Kid movies (part 2 is my favorite of the 3) but this one...hits me differently. I love Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith did great in this movie. The drama, the build up and Dre getting close to Mr. Han as if he became his dad was so touching. I personally would love to see Jackie and Jaden appear in Cobra Kai somehow. I know that it's technically non canon to the originals but, it can be. Jaden would smoke everyone in Cobra Kai.
I love the way he says karate
i actually enjoyed this version, the ideas were similar, wax on wax off, and the jacket, for example, the idea was teaching the basic movements, they were similar enough to allow the MC to be able to get used to proper technique, without having a bunch of bad habits
There’s no such thing as authentic techniques to a true martial artist since, like you said, one never stops learning and it’s in the process of it all the time.that’s why I liked people like Bruce lee and the founders of ancient styles.
The saying I like is from enter the dragon when Bruce's character was asked what style does he want to achieve and he answers to have no style. Giving the idea that you master the given styles to then learn to adjust and blend them all.
Uhh no, that's just plainly wrong, sorry. An authentic technique is not a perfect/perfected technique, it's just authentic. If you mean that there's no perfect technique and every form can use work then you'd be correct, but there's absolutely such a thing as an authentic technique.
@@19firebird86 You memory is wrong. Bruce Lee said that, but NOT in Enter the Dragon.
In Enter the Dragon, he was asked, "What's your style?"
Bruce Lee said, "You can call it: the art of fighting without fighting."
That's some pacifistic bullshit. Bruce Lee is "calquing" the word -do, as in karate-do, ju-do, taekwon-do, ken-do, aiki-do.
Bruce Lee is full of bullshit. He's full of good ideas too. But the bullshit outweighs the good ideas. (There are no new ideas under the sun, Bruce Lee re-discovered them).
What kind of bullshit is that. That was the LAST movie before he DIED!
What's your style?
Bruce Lee: You can call it the art of fighting without fighting! Ha ha!
@@quach8quach907 art of fighting without fighting was when he was on the boat going to the tournament. When talking about having no style was right at the start of the film, before he got invited to thetournament. Just before he says,"When my enemy expands I contract, when he contracts I expand, and when there is an opportunity I do not hit, it hits all by itself."
Enjoying your videos so far and have a passion in general for Japanese culture especially Ancient Samurai. Love the way you describe moves and on occasion explain a little of the meaning of some phrases. Love Martial Arts and in the past have done Karate and Taekwon-Do and now will be teaching myself hopefully how to use my bokken (or bokutō 木刀) could be funny at times. Keep up the videos and might look at your online training some time :)
i learned that the opposite of analyse is synthesis. breaking down the angles and putting back the structure.
Nagano-sensei, do you know that the title of this movie has been changed to:
1. "The Best Kid" in Japan and South Korea, and,
2. "The Kung Fu Dream" in China
really? That's interesting. I like the sound of the Chinese title. I'd watch something with that title.
Kung fu is an umbrella term for many styles of Chinese Martial arts
Just like karate is an umbrella term for multiple styles
But what shown in that movie is a movie version of sanda wushu
Kung Fu is not the umbrella term for Chinese Martial Arts. It's Wushu (literally martial art). Don't confused it with contemporary wushu which is a dance with martial movements.But yeah under the bannern of Kung Fu is excellence in Chinese Martial Arts.
@@giuseppienad3413 Don't get pedantic. Everybody knows it's not called Kung Fu in China, but outside of China WE call it Kung Fu.
@@quach8quach907
" Outside of China, WE call it kung fu"
Not to me. Not to the people I know (I could give you names or rather the name of the group ). We use the word Wushu rather than Kung Fu to define Chinese Martial Arts.... and WE (in this case I) live outside of China I mentioned kung fu covers qigomg and neigong, but I change my stance. Kung Fu means skill attained through hardwork. But since people "OUTSIDE OF CHINA" associate Kung Fu with CMA, them fine go ahead. But bear this in mind. People should know the correct chinese terms in referring to something related to China or else the wrong word will be use to describe something. Imagine going to China and asking a teacher to teach you kung fu and the teacher has no idea that kung fu is usually associated with CMA or he is aware but doesn't usually use itnor associate the word with it , but uses the words Wushu or Quan Fa or maybe the name of the style, he will just stare at you. I know that for a fact since I spent my high school years in a Filipino- Chinese school and I often use the wrong words making it hard for my Chinese Language teacher to understand me.

You asked a question (8.45), yes, however not with those loops, rarely two sticks and usually shorter, basically training wrist movements and distancing, imagine sticking hands but with a one foot pole being held by oppositions opposites, the first to destabilise the others grip forces the opponents unbalance, its a Sanda (Sanshou) technique, we fight very close and very aggressively and this training lets us predict and train muscle memory against our opponents in close quarters.....
Some interesting facts about this film;
Jackie is a national treasure and as a result filming was allowed at locations rarely allowed to be filmed, Including the great Wall and forbidden city!
Jay den learnt a ton of stuff, 3 styles in particular and was given big praise by Jackie!
Their was absolutely no karate in the film, all kung fu to the point it was nearly called the kung fu kid....
In China it was re-editied into a totally different film which basically makes Smith the enemy......
What he did at the end is basically an American soccer move that has now been adapted to wrestling called a Pele Kick or Bicycle Kick.
