Old Vs. New: The Karate Kid

[venomx]

I watched half of it today... WTH? That's KUNG FU Kid not Karate Kid, how can someone screw that up?

Anyway... LOL, I still like the old over this pile of mixup.

I studied Karate as a youth for about a year, and I can say confidently that the blocks Daniel was taught in the original were spot-on fundamental Karate blocks, and the concept of starting him off mastering those basic block as the building blocks (no pun intended) of everything else was also legit. So for me when the movie came out I gave the movie a lot of legitimacy credit. I can't do that for the new one because I don't know much about the differences between Karate and Kung Fu. I think I heard somewhere that Kung Fu is more flowing and Karate is more linear, but I don't even know if that's right.
