No More Karate in This 2nd KARATE KID Trailer

Three times.  Three times Jackie Chan utters the words Kung Fu in this latest trailer for THE KARATE KID.  Let’s have a little lesson here, folks.  Karate is a form of martial arts.  Kung Fu is all Chinese martial arts under one roof.  So, I guess Karate might have something to do with it.  I really don’t know enough about the sport to notice if Jaden Smith is actually doing any Karate in this trailer or not.

Nonetheless, the movie doesn’t look half bad.  It his all the key points you might want to hit in a trailer about a kid being trained by a maintenance man to take on other little kids.  It might even give too much away, but I’m guessing there aren’t any major plot points that deviate from the original, 1984 film.  Jackie Chan teaches martial arts.  Jaden Smith learns it and does a fine job at acting around it, as well.  I’m not 100% sure what’s in the water over at Will and Jada’s house, but they should definitely keep serving it up.

It’s also nice to hear that late inclusion of “You’re the Best” at the end.  It, actually, just occurred to me that someone is likely to remake that song for the new film.  Not a good idea, but there’s no stopping it at this point.

So, here you go.  Enjoy this 2nd trailer for THE KARATE KID:

THE KARATE KID hits theaters on June 11th.
