Dem Rumors: Jackie Chan to play Mr. Miyagi in Karate Kid remake

urlHmmmm…..I was about to write about how horrible this news from Variety was, how stupid of a choice it is to have the Grand Master Jackie Chan play the Grand Master Mr. Miyagi. But after thinking about it, it’s not so much my dissapointment in the casting of this role as much as the overall need for Hollywood to remake The Karate Kid. Actually, Chan as Miyagi might bring some credibility to the film, although all of that is immediately extinguished by the casting of Jaden Smith as the title character. Fucken suits…..What do you guys think?

  1. i’m glad you used a photo from one of the drunken master movies. good stuff.

    as for chan as miyagi, i hope they change his effin name. i mean, dude is chinese, miyagi is a japanese name.

    while we’re at it, maybe they can change the title to the kung fu kid. then all of us who that don’t want the original being tarnished by this bullshit can ignore the “remake” since it will be a different flick.

  2. I know in the great Shakespearian sense there are only so many story that can be told, but it seems like Hollywood could do better than remaking EVERY FUCKING FILM made in the 80s. I’m sure there are tons of great screenwriters/waiters out there waiting for a break.

  3. I agree why cant they stop remaking everything and start coming up with their own shit. That’s why they are writers.
