In China, Dre learns to defend himself against a bully under the guidance of an unassuming kung fu master in this remake of the classic. Watch all you want. Jackie Chan teaches a young Jaden Smith the art of kung fu in this installment of the martial arts film series.
Released on June 11, , The Karate Kid became a massive hit at the domestic and international box-office. Although the movie features zero karate, original series producer Jerry Weintraub insisted on keeping the popular title intact to make as much money as possible. Weintraub briefly considered changing the title to The Kung Fu Kid , but ultimately decided otherwise. However, the film title differs in various Asian territories. For the role of year-old Kung Fu student Dre Parker, Jaden Smith spent three months training in various martial arts techniques.
One of the techniques seen in the film includes the Crane Style of Kung Fu, which Dre witnesses a woman practicing atop the dragon head at the temple. Crane Style includes expertly balancing on one foot, which is very reminiscent of the "crane kick" that Mr. The woman also holds a cobra snake, another link to the Cobra Kai dojo from the original series.
According to Jaden's father, Will Smith, Jackie Chan was so highly revered in his native China that his mere presence in the country opened doors for the production of The Karate Kid in ways nobody else possibly could.
Chan's eminence in China led to several productions favors, such as being granted permission to film in areas strictly forbidden in the region. Dre can advance to the final to face Cheng but has limited time to return to the ring or Cheng will claim the trophy. Dre pleads with Mr.
Han to heal his leg via the fire cupping method. Han reluctantly does so when Dre tells him that he just wants to overcome his fear. Thus, Dre is set to face Cheng in the final.
The match goes back and forth with Dre gaining a 2-to-1 lead. Tied at two points apiece, with the next point to determine the champion, Dre struggles but manages to get up and uses the snake stance used by the woman at the temple. The move is successful, and Cheng changes his technique and charges at Dre, who does a flip and catches Cheng in mid-air with a kick to his head, winning the tournament along with the respect of Cheng and his classmates.
Cheng presents Dre with the trophy and all of the Fighting Dragon students bow down to Mr. Han in respect, accepting him as their new master, leaving Li defeated. Ending the movie, Dre and Mr. Han walk off happy as the music plays. The film was released on June 11, , by Columbia Pictures to 3, theaters across the United States.
