The [New] Karate Kid (A.K.A. Karate Black Kid) Trailer 2
First I want to give credit where credit is due. I stole the name of Karate Black Kid from Vince on Filmdrunk. You can check out his review of the trailer here http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2010/02/karate-black-kid-has-a-new-trailer.
The original plan was to include all sorts of aspects of Chinese culture into this blog like entertainment so here is the first one. I realize that the new Karate Kid movie is made by Americans for American audiences but it does take place in China, and there are scenes in schools, so I think that it’s apropos to talk about it here.
In case you haven’t seen the newest trailer for the movie here it is:

So the new movie stars Jackie Chan, and Will Smith’s son, Jaden (which I never understood why his name is so similar to his mother, Jada’s). Jackie Chan plays Han, the Miyagi, mentor type role, which in this preview seems a bit off. We see Han rescuing Dre Parker (Smith) from a bunch of bullies who are half of Jackie’s size.
