Yeahhh for real I really loved it when it came out ❤ and I remember everyone kinda not talking about it as much 😢 or it just maybe went under the radar idk 🤷♀️
A lot of people HATE this movie. I personally always loved it and only found it later that it’s hated by a fair amount of people. I think the story was similar yet different enough to be interesting, the characters stayed true to themselves and showed a deeper side, and the action I think is just way way WAY better in the 2010 version. The original karate kids are goated, but this movie I think is an amazing remake
I think it's because the original was so important to people it was always going to have a hard time winning people over. On top of that, since this movies release Jayden has gotten a bad rap for being a cringey teenager in the public eye (as apposed to the rest of us who got to be cringey teenagers in private XD), this has probably prevented this movie from becoming a "classic in hindsight" as many movies do.
To me growing up this was MY Karate Kid (although technically it should probably be called Kung Fu Kid). When I was young my family would love watching this movie together and before I ever learned about the original Karate Kid movies or Cobra Kai, this movie to me was first exposure to the franchise and honestly it doesn't get enough love as I think its pretty underrated. Interested to see what the new upcoming Karate Kid is going to look like?
@@Burger-g4v i think the og is better because it is the og and created the story for this one but i think the fights are way more entertaining which definitely has to do with the time
Jaden is in The Pursuit of Happyness with his father, based on the true story of millionaire Anthony Garner, which I met in real life and is a great guy! I read the book after seeing the movie.
My kids (who had to move all over the world while I was in the Army) loved this movie. It really nails how culture shock and leaving home can hit kids hard. Good performances by everyone.
I'd like to see Aaron & Tara watch some more Kung-Fu movies. The first 'Iron Monkey' movie in particular. It stars the actor who plays this movie's Kreese(the bad teacher) who is a doctor/vigilante in China. Donnie Yen is in it too. They're both awesome in it🔥📽
51:20 - I love the line " _I hope it was something important_ " because that speaks volumes more to me as someone who rarely holds a grudge, because this really is that important to remember: Is the argument worth dying over? PS to me, this isn't a remake, it's just another story in the same universe. This movie is great, as a fan of the old Karate Kid movies, I really enjoyed this movie and I really buy what Jackie Chan says about Kung Fu - Don't get me wrong, I bought it about Karate too with Wax on Wax off, something I still quote to my sister when we need to do something " _Ah, but first we must sand da floor, and wax on_ ".
When I watched this film and I didn’t realize Jaden Smith is actually Will Smith’s son but I checked that Will Smith and his son were in a movie together twice the pursuit of happiness from 2006 and after earth from 2013
@@alexp601 I'm 39, and that doesn't mean I dislike the old Karate Kid. I prefer the fights of the younger one, I like Jackie Chan and also the more current script. The interesting thing is that I see more people who prefer the first Karate Kid being haters of those who like the 2010 one, than the other way around. This is immaturity, each person likes what they want, each film represents something different for each person. It's just different opinions, and that's okay.
@@sajithshiraj5777 yeah there’s nothing wrong with having a genuine preference. I was just saying that those who grew up with this one are most likely to prefer it over the old ones. Just like those who grew up with the old ones would prefer those.
You might want to look up the term (Tofu Dreg). The Chinese construction industry has a massive corruption problem. So several buildings decay or fall apart.
If u wanna see the best movie with Jaden and Will together, watch The Pursuit of Happiness. It will break ur heart to million pieces and heal it too. A masterpiece
Loved watching this as a child. I feel like it really showed Jackie’s incredible chops as an actor. He isn’t just funny and a stunt man/martial artist, etc… that whole scene where he shows all of that emotion was so well done. Still makes me cry ❤
I think this movie as a stand alone is really great but the ties to the karate kid franchise is where people have there problems I love this film though!
This movie shouldn't been called The Kung Fu Kid because of the martial arts change. If they're going to make a Karate Kid movie, should've gone shot the movie in Japan and cast Ken Watanabe as the mentor. Around that time, Ken was the more well known Japanese actor to American audiences because of Last Samurai, Batman Begins and Letters from Iwo Jima.
Also the electricity card, yes we absolutely do have these here in America, especially in Arizona with SRP. I used one here when I first moved here 16 years ago
im so glad you guys watched this! I saw this movie when Netflix was still sending DVD’s to people’s houses 😂 I was maybe 10-11 at the time and it still is one of my favorite movie from the 2010’s following Real Steel which was an absolute powerhouse
Watching this in theatres as a kid was so awesome 😭 I think everything out of this movie is so fun and all the characters are interesting. Never forget the Justin Bieber song to end the movie off
i have a distinct memory of this movie while watching it with my mom and brother, while the credits were rolling my mom told my brother to pick up his laundry then she did the jackie chan thing lmao i loved this movie when i was a kid
i actually love this version of the movie, Jackie Chan and Jaiden Smith actually did really well with their respective roles, people hate on this movie because everyone compares it to the original when it was always meant to be its own thing
My theory why this movie is so underrated because, it is a remake. For some reason, it seems like people that they can only like the original or the remake but never both. I loved both of them.
Idk this movie went double platinum in my African American home! My mom was also a hardcore og karate kid fan, so maybe that had something to do with it
You guys should check out the alternate ending /deleted scene you get to see some action between Jackie Chan and the other teacher it’s a pretty cool scene
53:59 Can’t say for certain prior to the remake, I forget the year it came out but there was another karate kid with a girl. I don’t know if it was well received at that time. I think you guys would like it. Technically shes supposed to be the daughter of the kid from the first movie.
You should watch The Myth 2005 movie. Jackie Chan and the Karate teacher are in it together too and it was like one of very rare movie which Jackie Chan 'serious'.
The bully is terrifying! Reminds me of every character ever played by Bolo Yeung! If there was a Karate Kid multiverse this might be his villain origin story 😂
After the end of the film they played Justin Bieber’s never say never album and at a later point in 2011 they would release a documentary about the singer
There's a fun alternate ending. I think the way movie ended is just fine. But they all to the end they has Jackie Chan fighting at the other teacher. And it's pretty good.
last I heard this movie is getting a sequel. Jackie Chan will be in it, Jaden Smith probably not. I remember watching this film in the cinemas. I had such a great time.
lmao.. and the shadows on the wall are like remind us the theater they went to and.......... ya rlly rlly good call ya the sillouhetes are great they in sync now they are in sync they dont even need words this is how they heal
The only wierd thing about this movie is that the whole time they show us "Kung fu" and not "karate", they even call it kung fu the whole time, why didn't they think its okay to call it "The Karate kid" 🥴.
Love this Movie so much!!! Will always be my nostalgic Karate Kid Movie, though it would have been better, if it was called Kun Fu Kid. Also because you mentioned it, Memoirs of a Geisha is one of my absolut favorit movies and sadly not many know about this beautiful movie or react to it, so if there's a chance please watch it, you won't regret it :)

Do you find this movie to be underrated?!
Yes
Yes
yep
Yeahhh for real I really loved it when it came out ❤ and I remember everyone kinda not talking about it as much 😢 or it just maybe went under the radar idk 🤷♀️
Yeah for sure!
There's a deleted scene available on youtube. A Fight between Jackie Chan vs The Devil Teacher.
i loved this movie so much as a kid, i had on dvd and everything i think this version deserves more love

This is MY Karate Kid movie. I loved it growing up. I haven't seen the older ones.
Shame
@@stamina4days not really, this karate kid is loads better
@@seoulkuI’d say it’s better than 2 and 3, but the first karate kid is better than this one
@@Burger-g4v i think the og is better because it is the og and created the story for this one but i think the fights are way more entertaining which definitely has to do with the time
@@JacobCullen-l7k yeah, I’d say you explained it perfectly
Jaden is in The Pursuit of Happyness with his father, based on the true story of millionaire Anthony Garner, which I met in real life and is a great guy! I read the book after seeing the movie.
The fact that people are saying this is their "childhood movie" makes me feel old as shit 🤣
"The pursuit of happyness" is not only my favorite Will and Jayden movie but top 3 Will Smith movie of all time
PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS GUYS! HE WAS IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! NOW WATCH IT!
Please watch it 🙏
But they don't have to watch After Earth 😅
“How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real”

Master philosopher
People went into this cynically because of the widespread love of the original movies.
Unfairly in my opinion. I love this remale.
My kids (who had to move all over the world while I was in the Army) loved this movie. It really nails how culture shock and leaving home can hit kids hard. Good performances by everyone.
My childhood movie right here
my karate kid and never say never for sure raise me, just an amazing movie all around
1:04:20 There’s actually a deleted scene of Mr Han and the other guy fighting after the tournament on TH-cam. It’s pretty cool to check out
Hell here in America i still get people asking to touch my hair.
I think it's when Jackie Chan's better performances.
“Your cornrows intrigue me” LMFAOOOO Aaron 😭😭😭😭
Underrated addition to the series
I'd like to see Aaron & Tara watch some more Kung-Fu movies. The first 'Iron Monkey' movie in particular. It stars the actor who plays this movie's Kreese(the bad teacher) who is a doctor/vigilante in China. Donnie Yen is in it too. They're both awesome in it🔥📽

YAY love me some Jackie chan , I kinda love this “reboot” or whatever it’s classed as although the original mr miagi is simply perfect (rip x❤)
When I watched this film and I didn’t realize Jaden Smith is actually Will Smith’s son but I checked that Will Smith and his son were in a movie together twice the pursuit of happiness from 2006 and after earth from 2013
I WANNA GO HOME!!😩
I HATE IT HERE!
Hot take : i like this more than the original
Me too.
You guys must be under 30 years old 😅 Anyone older will definitely not have this opinion

Let’s goooo I wasn’t expecting this one
When he said "this the one Bruce Lee had", that had to of hit Jackie Chan in the feels, since he knew Bruce irl.
3:21 Also the Pursuit of Happiness alongside his dad Will Smith.
All I could think of during the scene where Dre was getting beat up was “Where the hell these little douche bags’ parents at?!”
You might want to look up the term (Tofu Dreg). The Chinese construction industry has a massive corruption problem. So several buildings decay or fall apart.
My biggest problem with this movie as a martial artist is that its called Karate Kid when he's being taught Kung Fu
Yeah 🙃
Like everytime i see it it just reminds me of how my mom has called my Tae Kwon Do by Karate for 24 years
Yeah, the average person doesn't know the difference.
That was a marketing choice. It is called "Kung Fu Kid" in some counties.
The movie addresses that when Jaden Smith's character says, "It's not Karate, mom, it's Kung Fu". They kept the name cause it's a remake
3:21 but also a really amazing movie before that called Pursuit Of Happiness also with his dad. You should definetely see that one its a must-watch
If u wanna see the best movie with Jaden and Will together, watch The Pursuit of Happiness. It will break ur heart to million pieces and heal it too. A masterpiece
This was my Karate Kid growing up! Love this movie!
Loved watching this as a child. I feel like it really showed Jackie’s incredible chops as an actor. He isn’t just funny and a stunt man/martial artist, etc… that whole scene where he shows all of that emotion was so well done. Still makes me cry ❤
He was also in the pursuit of happiness with his father
I think this movie as a stand alone is really great but the ties to the karate kid franchise is where people have there problems I love this film though!
So much heart in this one! The people that hate on it are lacking that.
This movie shouldn't been called The Kung Fu Kid because of the martial arts change. If they're going to make a Karate Kid movie, should've gone shot the movie in Japan and cast Ken Watanabe as the mentor. Around that time, Ken was the more well known Japanese actor to American audiences because of Last Samurai, Batman Begins and Letters from Iwo Jima.

Such an underrated remake. I love this movie. Aaron and Tara's reactions are so much fun.😁
Jaden was in my favorite Keanu Reeves movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still
And this movie’s score was composed by James Horner RIP
we love Jacie Chan
im so glad you guys watched this! I saw this movie when Netflix was still sending DVD’s to people’s houses 😂 I was maybe 10-11 at the time and it still is one of my favorite movie from the 2010’s following Real Steel which was an absolute powerhouse

I really don’t understand the hate for this movie, it has so many good, emotionnal scenes, I love it so much ❤
jayden smith was also in the pursuit of happiness. probably his best movie
I'm so early!! Guys this video was as good as I thought
My theory why this movie is so underrated because, it is a remake. For some reason, it seems like people that they can only like the original or the remake but never both. I loved both of them.
12:39 1000% within the first hour of being there lmao
Jaden and the other young boys went to China to train professionally for this role also took months. The fighting is perfect 👍
Now you guys gotta watch The Pursuit of Happyness with Jaden and Will. Such a good movie ♥️
The best way to celebrate part two of cobra Kai season 6
This was a great reaction 🙏🏽💯 I’m very similar to karate kid I’ve always wanted to go to China and learn from martial art monks
13:53
Yeaaaa
Ooooo😂😂😂
my favourite childhood movie
There were times in the film where Jada made sure that Jaden got some rest because of his training.
This is my favorite Karate Kid film tbh
Idk this movie went double platinum in my African American home! My mom was also a hardcore og karate kid fan, so maybe that had something to do with it
You guys should check out the alternate ending /deleted scene you get to see some action between Jackie Chan and the other teacher it’s a pretty cool scene

It's still pretty insane to me how they made a film called The Karate Kid, set in China, with Kung Fu and no Karate in sight.
You should watch The Myth 2005 movie.
Jackie Chan and the Karate teacher are in it together too and it was like one of very rare movie which Jackie Chan 'serious'.
Tara. I love you so much that I’m gonna forgive that Wash On Wash Off comment 😂❤
Remember Jaden Smith was in the Pursuit of Happiness with his father when he was 8 years old in 2006
I was looking at the cast cause I haven’t seen this movie since 2010 and Zhangwei Wang is like super jacked now 😅
The bully is terrifying! Reminds me of every character ever played by Bolo Yeung! If there was a Karate Kid multiverse this might be his villain origin story 😂
Jaden Smith did a song with Justin Bieber called Never Say Never made for the movie
After the end of the film they played Justin Bieber’s never say never album and at a later point in 2011 they would release a documentary about the singer
There's a fun alternate ending. I think the way movie ended is just fine. But they all to the end they has Jackie Chan fighting at the other teacher. And it's pretty good.
Movie calls itself Karate kid: Yet Jackie Teaches Jayden kunfu in China🤦🏻♂️
28:49 YES I LOVE IT. All defense
last I heard this movie is getting a sequel. Jackie Chan will be in it, Jaden Smith probably not. I remember watching this film in the cinemas. I had such a great time.
Ahh!! I love this movie growing up.
All I wanna know is when is Tara's first album coming out
lmao..
and the shadows on the wall are like remind us the theater they went to and..........
ya rlly rlly good call ya the sillouhetes are great
they in sync now
they are in sync they dont even need words this is how they heal
They got the perfect miyagi. A good respect of the oj movies.
yall should watch life in a year, that’s another good and emotional Jaden smith movie
The only wierd thing about this movie is that the whole time they show us "Kung fu" and not "karate", they even call it kung fu the whole time, why didn't they think its okay to call it "The Karate kid" 🥴.
LaRusso and Han join forces next year in Karate Kid Legends.
I shave my head and sometimes people ask to rub my head. 😆
Are we gonna get a reaction to Candyman (1992) in light of Tony Todd's death?
I think they have deleted scene where Jackie fight with coach after the tournament
Nothing beats the OG.
23:28 my thoughts exactly
One of my favorite movies
there is deleted scene in this movie too when jacki fights if want go watch that too😊
If only Jada didnt corrupt her whole family, the kids may be normal and Will would not be emasculated.
I personally like after earth I watched it in cinema when it came out
Pursuit of happiness
The superior karate kid movie
Love this Movie so much!!! Will always be my nostalgic Karate Kid Movie, though it would have been better, if it was called Kun Fu Kid. Also because you mentioned it, Memoirs of a Geisha is one of my absolut favorit movies and sadly not many know about this beautiful movie or react to it, so if there's a chance please watch it, you won't regret it :)
Will & Jada had some challenges while filming this movie.
This is a great movie. I just hate the title. It should have been the Kung Fu kid 😊
Omg omg omg omg there is no way my favorite movie and you finally watched it w vid
Its not a patch on the original in my opinion, but I still really like this movie. A lot of people don't from what I hear
