i have a couple issues with this flick right from the jump off.
a- jackie chan is chinese and the movie takes place in china, the home of kung fu, not karate. that being said, they HAD to call this shit karate kid? like if they came up with some new title, no one would get it or something. as though we're all too stooopid to wrap our minute little brains around so much as a new title, let alone a new concept.
b- the whole thing just seems like some early conditioning to get americans, especially black americans (the ones most likely to be on the front lines of a ground war) used to the idea of fighting the chinese.
