Dont ruin the Karate Kid

Good idea. It would give Ralphy Boy some work. He's gotta have no money now.

They ruined The Karate Kid franchise with the third one, to be honest, and Hillary's Toss couldn't save it.
 
Why exactly would a new version of anything ruin an older version? Unless they're remaking parts of it, like Star Wars, then they have no connection and the original remains unadulterated. In fact it's then quite interesting to compare the two. I say the more remakes the merrier!

I am of the opinon that the biggest problem with remakes is that it is symptomatic of a lack of originality which is currently prevailing in Hollywood.
 
That may, or may not, be true, but it still doesn't explain how a new film can ruin an old film.

I read that Jackie Chan is in the running for Miyagi, so it's sounding better all the time to me.

Oh, and I enjoyed Ms Swank's efforts in No 4. I think she was then, as she is now, one of the most interesting actresses working in Hollywood.

I like the idea of Jackie Chan being in it. However Will Smith son is meant to be in it and he was terrible in The Day The Earth Stood Still so that could ruin the film!
 
To me no actor will ever be Miyagi apart from Pat" Morita, Its like having someone else play Rocky. I agree the last few movies where not great but they could have done it so there are originals in there for us who remember but start it again for a new generation, Like the colour of money, That was a great film and i bet half the people who watched it had never seen the hustler. for what its worth i also think Will smiths son is too young to play the part
 
Agreed, it's not like they destroy the original and force you to only watch the new one.

I'm all for remakes when enough time has passed that some new life can potentially be injected into a classic story e.g The Day the Earth Stood Still, Or if the original was just crap. It's just a shame that so many of them end up sucking e.g The Day the Earth Stood Still lol.
That needn't be the case though.
 
1 was great,2 ok,3 great

girl 1 was boring from what little i remember

these films worked well in the cheesy era they were released but lets see how they do shall we
