It’s a reboot. The themes and ideas are the same but the setting and characters are different. I didn’t think this was such a hard concept to grasp…
lol i mean honestly…you cant figure it all out by the trailer…always gotta spell shit out for people.
how can your girl not like green day?
their Dookie album is one of the greatest rock albums ever made!
2nd greatest album of rock, in the 90s, only after nirvana’s nevermind.
wtf?
edit: but yeah,…they sold out.
but almost everyone does nowadays.
Never Back Down was also like Karate Kid…I like these type of movies where they get bullied & they train & then they kick ass…
Karate Kid will always have a special place in my heart, its part of my childhood.
Do you have a problem with that? …No mercy.
Anyway, this movie actually looks quite good. I may be wrong, but IIRC the reason they gave for the title is that Jaden’s character knew karate going in, got pwned by the bully, and then learned kung fu. Of course we all know the real reason is to milk the cash cow, but whatever. :lol:
Because the dumbass comment you made was pointless, he knows Jackie Chan knows Kung Fu over Karate, even though he probably knows some Karate as well.
We like old Green Day and it isn’t a matter of selling out since they were being called sell outs since their days in dookie. Its a matter of making shitty music. American Idiot has to be the worst punk album I’ve heard and one of the weakest albums in general. As far as one of the best of the 90’s, Rancid’s Out come the Wolves is just better than Dookie. I should start a punk thread.
On the whole Kung fu deal: Kung Fu is the generic term for martial arts that come from China. Unless you are talking about a particular style, you are more or less saying “Karate” with another set of morphemes.
You do know Asians will be the ones to call it racist, and not Hollywood.
Hollywood does whatever the fuck it wants.
Anyone remember The Last Samurai?
Staring Tom Cruise?
Fuck Hollywood
Movie looks like shit.
lol did you watch it? it went against most hollywood ideas…like the white guy did not actually get the asian.
did you get that from some VH1 “Top 10 rock albums of the 90’s” show?
That movie was more formulaic than baby food.
not really.
old fight movies suck ass in general, even i liked them back then. the fights are usually pretty crappy, especially now that ive seen ong bak and tom yong goong. i just cant respect or enjoy those old movies like i used to.
lol what’s with people always saying not really without anything afterwards to back up their statement.
One time I was in school last year and I said oh man I liked Halo 2 more because it had the more epic ending and then this classmate comes up and says “not really”
Everyone just ignored him and continued on.
well first id wanna know what made it formulatic before i went into specifics why i thought it wasnt.
Do you think I give a shit weather he can fight for real and actually do true martial arts? Fuck no. I want them to stop remaking classic movies, no matter how cheesy the original ones were.
Serious? Tom Cruise gets accepted by the samurai…taught their ways and excels…Japanese counter part dies…wife is like no biggie, here’s my husbands armor. Yeah, no hook up in the obvious sense, but the message is still the same.
That is easily Hollywood’s “white man in foreign land” template. Put it up there with Dancing with Wolves, Fast and Furious 3, and Avatar.
Dude: Supercop and Who Am I want a word with you. Chan used to be damn good…before he got too old and battered to stay of wirework. It’s safe to say that right now, his spine has less integrity than a bag of soggy rice crispies. In another couple years, he will be a shoe-in for the role of Chin Gentsai should a REAL kof movie ever need casting.
I’d call it, “Beijing Brotha” or “Beijing Lil’ Brotha”. having jackie chan fufill pat morita’s footsteps in a series of movies like this, they’re better off doin a spin-off, with a scene at first with morita-san with aa chinese master or what not. that’d make it seem better than poppin out the blue with the next wushu kid. the closest i can recall, would be Michael Jai White, when it comes to Okinawan Karate. But that’d be too out there to most people, nonetheless, hook BET up. Otherwise, this sounds about as crazy, as the white bitch in Obsessed.
