Only if Chris Tucker plays Daniel-son.Wristwatch--->Crisco -
+1 Mantis. More proof there's no original ideas left in Hollywood, and it's nothing more than a vehicle for Smith's 9 year old son. If it does come to fruition, I hope it tanks.

We don't need another "You're the best!" tournament montage.

If ever there was a worse idea than remaking the Karate Kid, this was it. Blech.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

C'mon. I can't think of anything containing more cinematic magic then the scene when Jackie Chan turns Tucker/Daniel-son's catch phrase around on him:
"Can you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?!?!? Wax on, then wax off!"
:rolleyes:

I think Will Smith should remake Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo

I dont think they should try to remake movies unless it would be helped by todays special effect technology(superman). I doubt the crane kick would benifit by CGI

Well THERE'S a viewpoint. how do you reconcile that with the fact that the original Richard Donner Superman is a masterpiece and the new one was.... not so much (obviously my opinion, but... still)? Movies are about more than special effects. Sometimes people rewrite crappy movies into good ones, sometimes they rewrite good ones into crappy ones thinking their CGI and technology will save them. And sometimes (like the Karate Kid potential remake) they just want to rehash and old story for money.If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

See, that kind of thinking is exactly what is wrong with the world.
We need MORE montages.
It is kinda like cowbell.There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong. -

Thats not exactly what I meant & I think the original superman movie is great, but I think some older movies arent done justice with the technology they had at the time such as the original superman movies. Imagine if they tried to make the LOTR trilogy in the late 70's. -

No one's ever gonna take you down.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

NO!
This is suck!There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin -
I'm not ready for a remake of anything. What I'm ready for is someone to get creative and create something new for a change instead of rehashing everything from my youth.

I think his opponent should be Gary Coleman. And Ally should be played by Paris Hilton.

I think the original KK was a fine little movie with a simple message. I am almost certain no one expected it to be a huge box-office hit and became a cult favorite. If Will Smith indeed wants to re-do KK, I think he would just destroy the "simple-ness" of the original. -
now that I think about it - the Hollyweird marketing geniuses already attempted a Karate Kid remake..
Looks like it went over well too :rolleyes: -

I agree...He might be better off making a movie similar in plot line and feel...but not make it exactly like KK. Ralph Machio (sp?) really makes the movie...Skinny, malnourished, nerdy guy...gets MADE and kicks the local bully's butt, and steals his girl. How many of us tried to do that crane kick afterwards? Classic. A lot of things came together to really make the movie CORNY, but memorable.Cambridge Audio AZUR 640R

I personally loved the original KK, although I dont think a remake is such a good idea.
