Some of the original cast members from The Karate Kid movie came out to see the “remake” last night. The original Karate Kid and the Cobra Kai (including William Zabka and Martin Kove) put on their belts and took a chop at the new one.
Here is how Ralph Macchio summarized it in 140 characters on his Twitter, “Remake: Different vibe, story same, bigger, more violent. Well done, but the SOUL, the MAGIC – LEGACY of the Original KK remains untouched!” Since it was done in just 140 characters, I can’t tell if he liked it or not.
BTW I still can’t believe they are calling it remake when minus the fact that it’s about a kid who moved to a new place and is being bullied so he learns how to fight from his landlord, it is nothing like the original.
I will conclude by saying the original cast members look better than the new movie looks. Although they look really good and the new movies like sh!t.

Before Ralph Macchio was waxing on and waxing off for The Karate Kid, he was blowing bubbles for BubbleYum. OMG the 17 year old actor looks exactly the same now as he did back when he did that commercial back in 1979. He sincerely never ages!
The director who is doing the new Karate Kid told OK! Magazine that the original and only Karate Kid Ralph Macchio will not be in his crappy remake.
"It's not the kind of movie where he could do a cameo, but I think he's a great actor," Zwart told OK! on the red carpet of the Pink Panther 2 premiere in NYC on Feb. 3.
Indeed, Zwart says there are going to be some significant changes in the new Karate Kid. "I think with Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and us going to Beijing and shooting it, it's already different enough," he tells OK!. "I think it's a great story that could easily be retold."
So if it is a different enough, why are they are saying it is a remake of Karate Kid and not just a movie about a kid who does karate? Losers.
BTW all I have to say about the director is he directed Agent Cody Banks and Pink Panther 2…seriously doesn't it say it all…like how sophmorish it is going to be! The only award this movie is going to Wax On is the Razzies and even they are better than this.
