My personal opinion is a large dose of NOOOOOO!!!!!
I enjoy the original in a campy sort of way, and have the scene at the beginning where Danny is being a whiny bitch with his mom etched in my memory, plus the sort of climax moment of the glorious crane kick...I mean, wow. I think any remake will be somehow tainted by the original - way too many associations for me to able to watch it without thinking seeing it as a distilled original.
So I'm once again forced to think "Does someone get paid for this shit? Why can't they make a movie that's a lot like the original, with an older karate guy taking a younger karate guy under his wing, and having the younger karate guy kick some bully in the shin, and maybe older karate guy can start courting younger karate guy's mom (miyagi should have gotten b i z z y on dan's mom if you ask me) and we'll just call it 'Domino Bitches and Other Crazy Tricks' and let that be that. Is it that hard to make a new movie? Or if they want to capitalize on the name recognition, then make this 'Karate Kid 8: Domino Bitches and Other Crazy Tricks (The Story Continues)' and have Jackie Chan channel Miyagi san's spirit through a ouji board or something..."
So I don't anticipate seeing this egregious piece of shit.
