It must have been the uproar of fans who voiced concerns over Will Smith’s idea to remake the Karate Kid and star his son Jayden with Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi, because they have just announced that they will be changing the name of the film to The Kung-Fu Kid.
Aside from now sounding like a cheap rip off, classic Karate Kid fans can rejoice over the fact that little to no damage will be done to their sacred franchise.
Original Karate Kid actors Ralph Machio and Pat Morita are forever remembered by their characters in this particular film, and it even earned Morita an Oscar nom.
