Failure to Franchise

Episode Twenty-Three - The Karate Kid (2010)


Listen Later

Before COBRA KAI resurrected the KARATE KID franchise, another attempt was made to reboot the series on the bring screen - this time with a new set of characters, a different setting, and even a different type of martial arts. Developed by Will & Jada Pinkett Smith as a star vehicle for their young son, Jaden, the new KARATE KID would also feature international mega-star Jackie Chan stepping into the mentor role made famous by Pat Morita. How does this retelling of the story stack up against the original 80s classic? Listen and find out, in the first installment of our "Summer Surprise" editions.
