It’s already odd seeing him in a serious role, it’s even more odd seeing him as an old man with a mustache and goatee. Jackie Chan was somewhat less impressive. He showed that he can be seen as a budding actor and not just Will Smith’s son. While his character wasn’t particularly multifaceted, if anything, Jaden showed that he can act exactly the type of person he is: a twelve year old boy, with a little bit of spunk.
Jaden Smith awed me in The Pursuit of Happyness, but impressed me in this movie. Han in preparation for a kung fu tournament against Cheng, which is the culmination of the movie. If you’ve seen the original, then you know what happens next, as many of the plot points are the same. Han and Dre confront the master of the kung fu school where Cheng studies, only to find that Master Li is a ruthless man who teaches his students to show no mercy. Han, the maintenance man and modern version of Mr. At the climax of a terrifying five-on-one encounter, Dre is rescued by Mr. Dre’s time at school is thus shrouded in fear. As in the original, Dre meets a girl, Mei Ying, but his interaction with her causes Cheng, a kung fu student whose family is close to Mei’s, and Cheng’s friends to bully him. Whether it be because of his attitude or because he is truly a fish out of water, Dre finds it difficult to adjust to his new home. Dre Parker is a twelve year old boy who is uprooted from his childhood home of Detroit when his mother is transferred to a car factory in Beijing. The movie is very loosely based on its predecessor. Still, I had heard some good things about it, and was surprised by its box office take over the first few weeks, so, spurred by my friend who called it, “Jackie Chan beats up middle schoolers,” I watched it. It seemed like a knock off movie loosely based on the 1984 original, meant to kick-start the career of Jaden Smith and bring Jackie Chan back on the forefront of martial arts movies. When I first saw trailers for The Karate Kid, I wasn’t too excited by it.
