“Karate” First Problem for Re-Make “Karate Kid”
The remake of Karate Kid is also titled Karate Kid. But in China, where the film takes place, kung fu is practiced, not karate. In the trailer Jackie Chan even says “king fu.” Karate is Japanese.
But hey, Japanese… Chinese… they look the same and probably share a lot of cultural identity and stuff and get along great, right. They’re not going to mind being confused, right. RIGHT?!
