Athena Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I've had two people ask me this today but i don't know and it's got me curious as welll....some people insist (i am with them) that there is a movie with pat morita (we know him dearly as Mr. Miyagi) and a girl learning karate. Does anyone know this movie? Strike first. 'Til then i will not fight you. Everytime someone calls JKD a style, Bruce turns over.Why do I love Bruce Lee? Not because he was an awesome martial artist- but because his train of thought overlapped with mine even before I knew about him. Thank you karate forums, for introducing me to Bruce Lee
joesteph Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 some people insist (i am with them) that there is a movie with pat morita (we know him dearly as Mr. Miyagi) and a girl learning karate. Does anyone know this movie?It was called "The Next Karate Kid" and had Hillary Swank in place of Ralph Macchio. The URL for info is:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Next_Karate_KidIt deals with a troubled teenager, which is standard, but there was a different bond formed when Mr. Miyagi now worked with a female. (I remember him speaking aloud to himself, "Boys much easier teach than girls.") A Buddhist monastery was also in the film, the monks being somber at the monastery, but lovable when at Mr. Miyagi's home. I liked the movie, but no sequel came along. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu
Lachrymosa Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 It seems we are also going to get a remake of the good old karate kid:http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/20081111/en_top_eo/68205It will feature Will Smith's son Jaden!Can't wait to see what they will come up with, I really liked those movies when I was a kid.
joesteph Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Interesting! The boy is ten years old, so it'll be somewhat different. Maybe that's good; a pre-teen instead of a teenage character. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu
tallgeese Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Man, it was bad enough the first time around. I always hate seeing those movies because I can always identify more with the bad guys that the heroes...bummer. http://alphajiujitsu.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJhRVuwbm__LwXPvFMReMww
bushido_man96 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Well, it was about due for a remake. We'll see how it goes. Since Jaden Smith is being tutored in MA now, perhaps the choreography can be a bit more convincing. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

Like the movie "never back down" the fighting was not to bad but the story line was terrible.
