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.
