Word on the street is that action hero Jackie Chan is gonna land the role of Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid remake that will star Jaden Smith.

The role was originally played by the irreplaceable Pat Morita, who died in 2005.

Personally, I don’t really care who plays Mr. Miyagi. I find Jaden Smith so eternally and hopelessly annoying that I wouldn’t see this movie even if Brad Pitt’s erect penis played Mr. Miyagi.

What do you guys think of this decision?

  • Im with you Beet!
    That little scientolozombiebrat does not need to be space invading my eye balls with his nepotised little smug mug.

    HOW DARE THEY REMAKE THIS.

    PAT will always be Miyagi and NO ONE ELSE.

    JET LEE?

    What is he gonna teach the new Karate kid to do tricks like the freaking MATRIX?

    I dont get messing with the original. If the studio wanted to make some more money off an old classic why not makea big dealio about the Anniversary of the movie and sell the dvd and Blue Ray with some type of CGI cartoon to appear on one of the Saturday Morning shows.

    That way they save money on casting that Will Smith EVIL SPAWN (LMFAO) and Chan and they save a classic from the destruction that is a re-make. bastards!

  • agree. wouldn’t see the whole film, but i would youtube the penis saying “wax on, wax off”. totally.

  • I could not care less about The Karate Kid..HOWEVER! I loathe that little Smith Prick. I know it’s not cool to talk shit about a kid, but if EVER there was an appropriate time to talk said shit, it would be now.

    Every picture I see of that little smug asshole, he looks as though he’s told by his weird-ass parents how “perfectly amazing and better than everyone else” he is all. day. long.

    How long before little Fresh Prick (HEY—that one’s mine, dude) releases a crappy cd? Bleh!

  • Here’s a novel concept: How about a NEW script? As much as I want to see Jet Li get crane-kicked in the nards by a 12-year-old boy, is there any reason why we can’t see this kind of action in a story I haven’t seen probably 50 times in the past 20 years?

    What’s next on the remake list? Monster Squad? Pretty In Pink?

    Hollywood writers–you should be embarrassed and watching your asses for up-and-comers with NOVEL, CREATIVE ideas.

    Hey Beet, why don’t you put together a script about your sledding escapades? Ralph Machio probably isn’t doing a whole lot right now–maybe he’s available for a role…

  • I really don’t get why people hate this kid. I thought he was excellent in Pursuit of Happyness, loved the movie, love his dad. I don’t get it.

    No fan of Karate Kid, won’t watch it.

  • So you guys call him a “douche” based off of poses in pictures? I doubt any of you really know him or his family.

      • I dont know about you ketchup but I call this kid a douche because of the douchey words coming out of his douchey mouth in douchey interviews about douchey movie rolls he gets because of his douchey dad.

        The kid is a spoiled ass brat. His dad sucks penis.

  • Karate Kid was a really shitty movie, let’s face facts. And it makes a complete mockery of martial arts. I would hope Jackie Chan or Jet Li (and why is everyone mentioning him?) would say no to a ridiculous plot that basically says, “fuck years of training, you can learn everything in a couple of weeks by painting a house and waxing a car.”

    Ugh, and the last scene where Ralph Macchio beats the bad guy??? That kick would never work in a million years, especially against someone who has trained for years (regardless that he didn’t fight with honour).

    Sorry to get worked up, I don’t have a sense of humour about martial arts (or weddings but whatever).

    • HA! I just saw all 4 Karate Kid movies this weekend (I didn’t know there was a part 3). I hated myself for the rest of the weekend. Those movies are an insult to any martial artist

  • Jaden Smith is an annoying, pretentious punk; but having Brad Pitt’s erect penis as Mr. Miyagi would lend incredible new meaning to “wax on/wax off”… I’m just saying :)

  • Agree that celeubrats should not merit too much excitement. However, you may be going a bit far with not going to see it even if “Brad Pitt’s erect penis played” in it. I would see it at least once for that.

  • It could be worse… can you imagine Jean Claude Van Damme or Steven Seagal as Mr. Miyagi?!

    Russo’s training would either involve being a pervert that could do the splits, or a wife beater that eats a lot. :-)

  • Obviously, everyone’s talking about Jet Li because all Asians look the same… I’d be embarrassed for them too.

  • DUDE!!! MR. MIYAGI IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER AND WUT THA HECK IS UP WITH JACKIE CHAN AT LEAST MR. MIYAGI TRIED TO SPEAK ENGLISH RIGHT….JACKIE CHAN JUST SOUNDS LIKE HES DRUGED UP AND IS JUST MUMBBLING HIS WORDS…. THIS IS WHAT I HERE: (I WOULD LIKE DSFHIQWEHKJDFASFTH!!!!!!)

    ^ THAT IS WHAT JACKIES ENGLISH SOUNDS LIKE!!!

  • I am glad to have my odd repulsion to this kid normalize. I searched for Jaden Smith is annoying and found this place. The best thing his parents could do is ship him to a third world country to live with a humble family in a humble existence for a year. Will Smith became famous and I’d argue talented, because he WORKED for it and had some humility. Poor kid has a sad life ahead of him. Money don’t buy everything…

  • is an unnecesry film, I´m the biggest jackie chan fan on earth but I won t watch this shit cause i think is an insult to the classic trilogy…i just hope that on the premiere the cobra ka appears and beat will smith up
