Jun 9, 2010 · If you’ve seen “ The Karate Kid ” (1984), the memories will come back during this 2010 remake. That’s a compliment. The original story was durable enough to inspire three sequels, and now we have an entertaining version filmed mostly on location in China, with 56-year-old Jackie Chan in the role of Mr. Miyagi.

The Next Karate Kid was the final film to star Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi, but without Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso. Also known as The Karate Kid Part IV, future Academy Award-winner Hillary Swank was introduced in her breakout role as Julie Pierce, a troubled Boston teenager who Mr. Miyagi takes responsibility for. It's also the first of the Kara...
The Karate Kid Part III was released in 1989, and it was the final and, easily, the worst chapter of Daniel LaRusso's movie saga. Fresh from a summer in Okinawa with Mr. Miyagi, the young Daniel LaRusso returns to Los Angeles and finds himself embroiled in a diabolically ridiculous plot by John Kreese and his best friend, multimillionaire Terry Sil...
Released in the summer of 1986, The Karate Kid Part IIadmirably wasn't a clone of the original; instead, the focus shifts to Mr. Miyagi, who is accompanied by Daniel back to his hometown in Okinawa to visit his dying father. The visit also reignites his lifelong rivalry with Miyagi's former best friend Sato (Danny Kamekona). LaRusso also gets an ap...
2010's The Karate Kid accomplishes the miraculous feat of being a remake that's almost as good as the original (and it's actually even better in certain ways). Starring Jaden Smith as Dre and Jackie Chan as his mentor, Mr. Han, The Karate Kid title is a total misnomer used purely for marketing since the film was shot almost entirely in China (inclu...

Parents need to know that The Karate Kids is a classic '80s martial arts movie that's still a fine pick for families with older tweens. The Karate Kid was re-made in 2010 with a younger perspective starring Jaden Smith. It has a fair number of swear words (including "s--t"), insults, and….
Objectively, I think this movie is worth watching. Definitely not the worst, but not the best. Its content is interesting and is a visible step above the original Karate Kid, even though this movie does not feel like a remake (so stop comparing >0).
