The Karate Kid (1984)
The Karate Kid is the remake of 1984 film of the same name. The movie is about a 12 year old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) and his mom Sherry (Taraji P Henson) who are about to have a new life in Beijing, China. Like a fish out of the water, Dre doesn't get along well and he is always bullied by Cheng & friends at his new school. Despite the conflicts he has, he falls in love with Mei Ying who is his only friend at school but he's got a competition because Cheng who is a kung fu prodigy falls in love with her as well.
One day when Dre is bullied near his house, Mr Han (Jackie Chan) who is a maintenance man at Dre's flat saw the fight and helped him. Knowing that his student is defeated by Mr Han, Cheng's evil kung fu trainer told Mr Han to train Dre for an epic kung fu duel against Cheng. If Dre wins, he guarantees Cheng & friends won't bother him anymore but if he loses, Dre will be bullied forever. This is when Dre's journey started. He gets a teacher that he's never expected before.
Jackie said he had trained Jaden 6 months before they started filming. Now Jaden is a real kung fu prodigy
In my opinion what makes this movie is crazily successful is that they choose Jaden & Jackie as the main characters. As you all know there's no one like Jackie Chan, everybody loves him and Jaden is a talented dancer, rapper and actor like his parents, actor Will Smith and actress + singer Jada Pinkett Smith. He's also a current sensation young teenager like his best friend, Justin Bieber.
Here is why this kid is so talented. Check it out !
