[KAGEKI]

I find this to be too hilarious for me to watch

How come I have a feeling there's going to be some racial stereotypes?

Yeah the title is like a sad hold over from the 70's when most Americans tended to think of karate and kung-fu as all the same thing.

I love the original Karate Kid and I could even like this one but the title treats it like we're all too stupid to know even the slightest thing about there being different styles and schools of martial arts.

The movie comes out in theaters tomorrow, so does anyone plan on seeing it? Early reviews say the movie is quite impressive:

That title is so fucking lame. It's just an insult. Even if the movie was fantastic, it's tainted slightly by the ridiculous name.

The Karate Kid. Heh. There is no Karate in this movie.

 

[Lynxara]

I've heard they kept the name because the new film is so faithful to the original aside from the setting change that it's nearly the same movie. There was apparently some concern that if they changed it, people wouldn't understand that it was a remake and then complain about the similarities.

Opening Credits.

"Based Upon 'The Karate Kid' by So-And-So"

That's all they need to say. Hell, they should say that anyway.
