i don't get it? why call it "the karate kid"?
mr miyagi in the original was japanese, and so if he was going to teach a martial art, would have most likely known some form of karate, but this is set in china, has a chinese teacher character who is obviously teaching the boy chinese kung fu?
the only thing similar is the idea of the "boy in new home, bullied and taught martial arts" this doesn't have to be a strict "remake" at all?
very odd
