I just don't understand the need for direct remakes. I like thematically connected sequels better.

Why not have The Chan play a karate instructor who mentors a kid who has problems being the bully this time, and write a story around that. He could gradually deal with his anger issues, stop beating up kids, and eventually have to fight his old friends who still won't stop beating up the kids he used to help them beat up. Or anything else different.

Because if I want to watch karate kid, I have a DVD player, and the 5 whole bucks the original will probably cost me to own.
