Went for The Karate Kid at Pvr .The 9.45 am show was for 70 Rupees. I cannot figure out the pricing. Some early morning shows are 70 rupees some (like robin hood) were 100 Rupees.
Was disappointed with the The Karate Kid on many levels .
This movies is righly names in china as The KUNG FU Kid. This movie is all about KUNG FU and NOT karate. So it should not have been names karate kid. The Kung Fu Kid, as karate is a Japanese fighting style. Also called Best Kid in Japan and South Korea
Jaden Smith ——— Dre Parker
Jackie Chan ——— Mr. Han
Taraji P. Henson ——— Sherry Parker
Wenwen Han ——— Mei Ying
It is a martial artsremake of the 1984 film of the same name . At least the movie karate kid 1 has realistic fight scenes. Not jackie chan type unbelievable fight scenes.For example the final blow .
In the first karate kid he gets his leg hurt . he stands on one leg (crane) and knocks out the guy with the other leg. The Karate Kid finale crane kick!
The Karate Kid, its beloved 1984 family film about a
In the latest remake . He does a back somersault where the leg does not even touch the guy . Terrible special effects.
When the movie started what caught my attention was the words
China Film Group Corporation
http://www.imdb.com/company/co0080987/
co-production between the state-run China Film Group and Columbia Pictures
abbreviated as CFGC, is the largest and most influential state-run film enterprise in China.
I think this is due to the thought that if Sony made Karate Kid with a Chinese partner, it could be a part of that Asian gold rush,
This movie almost seems to be a tourism video for china.
For example All the guys at the kung fu school wearing red Aerial shots at spectacular Chinese locations the Great Wall the Forbidden City Wudang Mountain
Some of it just do not mix with the move like karate on the great wall of china?
The couple Smith’s Dre Parker and his girlfriend, Mei Ying (Wenwen Han) were just not compatible. Some say she’s 15 and jaden is 12 .
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3926967/news
Wenwen Han (Meiying) has this 24/7 idiotic smile on her face. Which seems she was laughing at the dumb american kid .
Wenwen Han(Meiying) seems to be so unknown she is not even listed in http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155076/
http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/
how do you keep costs low.
Like indian movies get a family member to produce or act in the movie Will Smith (Jaden Smith’s /Dre Parker dad) was one of the film’s producers
wenwen han interview – they really struggle to speak English .
The guy Jaden smith is just to small to have an impact on the role of the karate kid. His opponent Cheng (Zhenwei Wang) would have made a better KUNG FU KID as he really knew the moves as you can see in the trailer above. too young, too small.
Zhenwei Wang his chinese name:??? amateur video (The other guy in this videos who is also in the movie is the best . He has a nice smile – does not look mean and a peaceful face – dont know his name ?)
1.He has been studying kung fu for 7 years . 2. He was selected from a whole lots of other candidates, as every martial arts school sent a lot of their students to audition for that role 3. He’s 15/ now, meaning when he made the movie last year, he was 13 and Jaden was only 11
The Karate Kid Beijing Premiere-Jaden Smith,Zhenwei Wang,Wenwen Han
The shocking thing about this movies promotion is that the chines guys gets the least promotion . It was all about will smith and his son .
Meiying(Wenwen Han) – amateur video on this video there is a comment Wenwen Han is 16 now? becuz her birthday is on april 13, 1994 (no idea on the real facts as this information was never released)
Jackie chan looks really old and his bow feet are very very prominent in this movie.
The take of your jacket and put it on became boring and lost the plot after the first few repetitions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbhukqFgkHc (BORING VIDEO just praising jackie chan) Blackbelt TV takes a look behind the scenes of the new film THE KARATE KID starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith.
In the above video you can see how far the actor is when jaden smith hits the guy in green. This is so fake it is very obvious
Wenwen Han dances to Lady Gaga – Poker Face and suddenly the movie gets some weird sexual vibes . I was woah . This makes me feel like a japanaese movie as they like all these guitar hero arcade dance videos.

The Guru settled down on the bank of the river flowing nearby. The people sought for help and the Guru blessed the people and became very popular in the area. The locals called him as Nanak Lama. The Demon got enraged and started making plans to kill Guru Nanak. One morning, when the Guru was sitting in meditation, he rolled down a big boulder from the hilltop with the aim of killing the Guru. But on the very touch of Guru’s body, the solid rock melted like wax and Guru’s back got embedded on it like a cushion. The Guru kept on sitting in meditation undisturbed. Thinking that the Guru must have been killed, the demon came down but was taken aback on seeing the Guru in meditation, undisturbed. With a rage of anger he tried to push the rock with his right foot but the rock had already became like wax his foot also got embedded into it. On this , he realized his folly and powerlessness as compared to the spiritual power of the Great Guru. He fell on the feet of Guru and humbly prayed to be pardoned. The Guru advised him to get rid of his wickedness and lead the life of a nobel person, in the service of humanity. This changed the life style of demon and he started serving the people. The Guru there after continued his Holy journey towards Srinagar and Kashmir via Kargil.
