It's not quite enough to justify a two and a half length, but it comes close.Īs for the plot, imagine the original Karate Kid with a few language barriers tossed in.

But even though The Karate Kid is a paint-by-numbers remake that exists so Smith can make his kid a star and China can promote itself to the West, it's also exceptionally well shot, frequently funny and touching, and perhaps most importantly, a vehicle for a great Jackie Chan performance. The 32-year old son Jaycee Chan of the movie star was. The plot is completely irrelevant - you could fast-forward through all the non-fight scenes and lose little - but the fight scenes are just brilliant.It's hard to know who to credit or blame for the film, since director Harald Zwart was brought in well after things were in development, and the film's likely true authors, Will Smith and the Chinese government that authorized the on-location production, are entirely offscreen.
