Trailer for Jackie Chan’s The Karate Kid Remake

Just caught the trailer for the Jackie Chan remake of The Karate Kid (AKA The Kung Fu Kid). After watching this clip though, maybe it should be called The Wushu Kid?

What do you think? After writing down my initial thoughts and now seeing some footage, I’m not sure what to think. Seeing Chan in a different type of role makes me want to champion it, but some of the other elements makes me just cringe.

Check it out for yourself below and let me know what you think:
