Two branches, one tree
Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, our journey ends as I review the latest installment in the Karate Kid franchise, Karate Kid Legends starring Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, and Ben Wang. In this review, I walk through how they bring the Jackie Chan universe together with the Ralph Macchio universe, how they stay true to some standard Karate Kid plot points and change up other tropes, explain how they go off the rails with this film's tournament scene, and finally, give my ranking of the entire franchise.
