You think Ralph Macchio would allow the Karate Kid franchise would be damaged? Don't overreact. I trust Ralph Macchio. This may be an awesome movie that could blow our minds.

This is kind of a weird team up considering both guys basically have the same personality...which is not a bad thing in the real world. People though are more intrigued by polar opposite characters in film.

I can see why you think it's a bad idea from a story perspective, but from a business perspective it has massive potential. Jackie Chan is one of the biggest stars in Asia, Ralph and the karate kid franchise has a slew of older generation and now with Cobra Kai new generation of fans. This movie would be huge domestically and overseas and could open up a whole new franchise / universe setting on the big screen. And as another commenter mentioned, we should have enough trust in Ralph who I'm sure would find a way to involve most of his Cobra Kai writers to keep the story faithful and engaging at the same time. Lastly, who doesn't want to see Johnny cameo ?!

Wasn't Karate Kid 3 awful? How did things turn out? Didn't Cobra Kai take something bad and make something great out of it? You don't know so much about the movie, and yet you think it's a bad idea? Talk about knee-jerk reaction. How did you feel when you first heard about Cobra Kai? Everyone thought it was a stupid idea. But that was because nobody knew the concept back then, just like we know almost nothing about the concept of this new movie. Everyone needs to calm down.

1:02 Why do you say Karate Kid remake was “god-awful”? It’s a very good movie but would love to understand the opposing view. I’m aware that the name is a misnomer and the studio didn’t allow calling it Kung Fu Kid. Anything besides that?

Don't do it

Bro the kid would be to good

Great movie idea!! You’re way off bub.

This is a very bad idea.

Kinda don't care. Love Jackie Chan, loved 80s Karate Kid movies- hated 2010 Karate Kid as it was bloody horrible and embarrassing to watch.
