I loved this movie but to be fair none of the Karate Kids were ever Karate Kids save the evil blond boy from the first movie. The first Karate Kid was doing more Kung Fu than any thing and in this movie and and story involving being trained by Jacky Chan is a story of learning from a master at Tai Kwon Do / Kung Fu and mixed martial arts with crazy acrobatics thrown in for good measure. Also the pose on the front of the box is as classic Tai Kwon Do as you can get. Jacky Chan offhandedly explained the meaning of Kung Fu which is "Hard Work". This is a great story and pays tribute to the original. Five stars.
