Why did the 2010 remake called "The Karate Kid" while the boy learns Kung Fu?

IDK maybe the boy learn Karate first? so peoples call him the Karate Kid? then learn Kung Fu? nah just me...

[LibraGamesUnlimited]

at 14:50 he walks by a hanging potted plant then (off camera) hits the wall with his hands. First time I saw that I thought he knocked his head on the plant. :)

I'll tell you why the new one won. Begginner's luck.

I LIKE JACKIE CHAN BUT I DON'T LIKE WHEN THEY MAKE A NEW MOVIE WITH A NIGGER AS THE NEW PERSON.. THE OLD MOVIES HAD A WHITE PERSON AND NO BLACK PEOPLE... OLD WIN... NIGGERS DEAD!!!! V

[ssonic116]

The new movie is called the Karate kid because if it was called the kung fu kid people would think that it is a ripoff before and after seeing it.

@DrTheKay The fact that you were pissed off at the Nostalgia Critic for not choosing the remake over the original make you the "fanboi."

[KaterinaJade]

Thank you for giving such a well-thought-out, unbiased comparison, NC. I really think people judge the new movie more harshly because they feel so loyal and nostalgic toward the original, which was a great film.

They don't seem to understand that liking one doesn't have to diminish your enjoyment of the other, and both movies should be judged on their individual merits. Anyway, good review.

[pariastabendesa]

@SGRev1 I can understand that...

[SGRev1]

@pariastabendesa Maybe for promotional reasons?

[hiimrubenhowru]

@pariastabendesa no they just fucked up ~avgn

[MrMrMississippiman]

i am not sure but i think i heard that karate is derived from kung fu so technically i think it is karate kids

[UnivingIshiro]

I liked both for one reason:One is Karate and the other is Kung-fu,so although he said new one is better I care less since it's not Karate!

[majukun]

@DrTheKay ehm..exactly why you said this?an american can beat a chinese on kung fu,just like an american can beat an european playing football.Some nations are better than some others in some "sport" just because there's a better tradition,thus better teachers.If an american but learn kung fu in china from a chinese master,it's pretty possible that he can learn just as good as a chinese boy.

[DrTheKay]

The fact that the nostalgia critic, a cynical bastard, didnt even shake his hesd at smiths awful final kick makes him seem like a fanboi

[DrTheKay]

W T F nostslgia critic? It was a fucking shit movie. The onky good thing is that they took a western mi ority. But still it was fucking dumb as shit, wtf was with the random american kids? Fucking fail, what was with he.....BACKFLIP kick?? The FUCK?? So unrealistic, no way an american could beat a chinese. im disappointed in you nostalgia critic

[deadlyponiezzzz]

" so the superior film just by a little bit is the new karate kid"

" oh bullshit, im going home man."

Okay, that was a very well placed clip.

[deadlyponiezzzz]

To be honest i think the 2010 one is my favorite in my opinion because it was way more passionate, emotional, and more dramatic. You should do a review for the new one instead of just comparing them i think it will be a good review since the movie was really good to me. And i will never forget the fat guy who was below us in the row of seats going like dang or ooh or ouch every time the poor kid got hit ( Jaden).

[Sexualwendigo]

Prepare to wax off.

[pariastabendesa]

@MrCalzilla good point....

[MrCalzilla]

@pariastabendesa That would make sense. I thought it was because he was the only one who knew Karate, and was thus known for it (not literally known for it of course). Also, it makes more sense for a teacher from China to teach Kung Fu, as it is actually Chinese. Why in the world would a Chinese teacher teach the Japanese art of Karate?

[ssonic116]

Haha! Mine Bitches!

[TehLazaMan]

@pariastabendesa "The Kung Fu Kid" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...

[poisoncupcakesayhai]

@owaffs u mad?

[owaffs]

I can't believe the new "Karate" Kid won in this comparison of the two.

Surely the lack of karate should disqualify it.

Truth is, there wasn't even a need for this reboot to be made.

It was just Will Smith using his own money to produce a film to promote his kid. Well fuck you, because nepotism shouldn't be congratulated.

[Blizz3112]

Is this the reason why AVGN hates the NC? :-P

[sonicshoop2]

Wrong!

[CCSparxxLtd]

When the Spider-Man reboot comes out, he should do an old vs. new on those.
