What style is Pat Morita : karate kid

[JadeDragon3]

I did hear they were remaking the first one, with Will Smith's son playing the lead role. I vote Sonny Chiba as Mr. Miyagi... lol.

Jackie Chan is going to play Mr. Miyagi.

The story line is going to be Will Smith's son is going to be a crack dealer who gets picked on while he's standing on the street corner selling and Mr. Miyagi (played by Jackie Chan) teaches him karate to protect himself from the rival gang(s). Just kidding.

Gawd, lets hope not..Sonny Chiba would be a great Miyagi, he could do his own stunts..But Will Smiths kid??? He might do for the movie what his Dad did to the Wild, Wild West...

I do recall reading online that the third one really sort of threw the characters' development for a loop.

The first movie was about Daniel-san regaining his honor and self-respect by facing his fears and facing off against his antagonist. The second took a more personal look at Mr. Miyagi as a person, and not just a teacher. On top of that, Daniel-san (yeah, I'll keep calling him that) was now fighting for his life.

Then comes the third movie, where basically, some guy is calling him out as a chicken, and he ends up fighting out of pride. Did he even think to call the cops whenever they harassed him?

As for the fourth, I didn't take a chance watching it.

I did hear they were remaking the first one, with Will Smith's son playing the lead role. I vote Sonny Chiba as Mr. Miyagi... lol.

I didn't even know that Smith had a son old enough to play a lead. Has he been in anything else?

With Will Smith at the helm ya never know....LOL...

Yes, several things--most recently in Keanu Reeves' The Day The Earth Stood Still.

Will Smith To Direct Karate Kid Remake / Steven Chow In Talks

By Doug - December 11, 2007 - 08:32 America/Montreal

It looks like Will Smith is going to be all over the remake of the Karate Kid. Today we learn that he will not only be producing, but also directing the project. We get the scoop from our friends at moviesonline:

Will Smith is in fact going to direct the upcoming Karate Kid movie according to production notes. His son Jaden Smith will also star. There has been a lot of past speculation on who would star, and who would direct but it would seem the speculation can now end. Overbook Entertainment have Will Smith listed as the director and Jaden Smith as its star.
​

Will Smith has had quite the journey. If you would have told me back in the day, that The Fresh Prince would be directing a remake of the Karate Kid in the future (as the Kung Fu Kid); I would have called you a liar and a prophet of questionable ability. But here we are, and it looks like Mr. Smith’s directorial debut on a feature film, will be alongside his son and Jackie Chan or Steven Chow.
Steven Chow has confirmed that he is in talks to play Mr. Miyagi and we get his words on the matter today via themoviehole:

Martial arts magnate Stephen Chow (“Kung Fu Hustle”) has confirmed online rumours that he’s in talks to play wise and wrinkly warrior Mr Myiagi in a ‘’Karate Kid’’ remake.
“I’m very fond of ‘The Karate Kid’ and would love to join in the remake project, no matter as a producer, director or actor”, says Chow. “But it depends on my schedule. As you know, next year I will work on two movies, ‘Dragon Ball’ and ‘Journey to the West.’”
​

So it is not yet confirmed that Chow will be Miyagi, but he is certainly still in the running. Chan is a high octane contender however and although both men are great choices, I think I would prefer the pastoral Chan for the role of Kung Fu Master. Lots of news out today regarding this project and we will have to hope that they walk with the wisdom of Macchio to create a film that pays tribute to the original.

hmm, thats an interesting idea, Show Daniel as an adult running a dojo, maybe even partnered up with Johnny from the old Kobra Kai school. And married to that hawt Okinawan chick.

whats the drama?

ok, a rival school opens up, and ....

oh i got it, Daniel as an adult, who teaches his own son karate in response to bullies that torment the kid.Leading to a showdown between Daniel and the father of the lead bully.......

That would have blown the doors off of the third one. Even all they did was put your post on film for thirty seconds and then roll credits.

[JadeDragon3]

My thing is why take an american movie classic such as The Karate Kid and do a remake of it. It will never be able to out do the original. There are some movies that are better left alone and not try to remake and thats one of them. Also, why would you take a kid that is a vertual unknown and put him in this role. I wouldn't know Will Smith's son if he walked up to me. I think they could find a better child actor for the role.

 

[Twin Fist]

so true daniel, i HATED the 3rd movie.

I didnt mind the 4th one somuch, btu then Swank is alot easier on the eyes than Ralh Machio.

 

[JadeDragon3]

I still like my idea of Will's son (Daniel-son) being a crack dealer and getting picked on in the hood . Mr. Miyagi (Jackie Chan) teaching him karate to fight off rival dealers. For karate training he has to outrun the police while trying to steal hub caps.

 

[JadeDragon3]

so true daniel, i HATED the 3rd movie.

I didnt mind the 4th one somuch, btu then Swank is alot easier on the eyes than Ralh Machio.

Hillary Swank is kinda nice to look at.

Hey

Hey, how about Gina Carano having some type of role in the remake? You know the female cage fighter. She's hot. Maybe she could be the one that introduces Daniel-son to Mr. Miyagi.

so true daniel, i HATED the 3rd movie.

Amen to that!!

young crack dealer ? who will smiths son ?

 

[Ronin74]

How about a remake of The Last Dragon, with Samuel L. Jackson as Sho'Nuff?

 

[suicide]

whats next american ninja :ultracool

 

[Daniel Sullivan]

American Ninja? Sure. Why not? The actor that played the old teacher did 'American Samurai' in (I think) 2004. He looks pretty healthy. American Samurai wasn't all that good a movie, but the kenjutsu/kendo was pretty well done.

Anyway, DiCaprio seems to be trying to diversify, so why not an MA movie? He could play Dukikoff's part. They could even get Kate Winslet to play the love interest.

They could call it, "American Ninja Titanikai."

[Drac]

how about a remake of the last dragon, with samuel l. Jackson as sho'nuff?

Thats IF he recovered from the beating he got from Bruce Leroy
