Trivia
Producer Will Smith said Jackie Chan was held in such high regard in China that he was able to use his status to help with many aspects of the production, such as getting permission to shoot in certain locations for filming.

Goofs
Though the plot of the movie revolves around kung fu rather than karate, the title "The Karate Kid" is a direct reference to the bullies calling him the "Karate Kid" when he takes up a stance at the beginning of the fight.

Quotes
Mr. Han: Being still and doing nothing are two very different things.

Crazy credits
The opening and closing credits for the movie are shown in both English and Chinese.

Alternate versions
Chinese version was re-edited to make Dre seem like the bad guy, and makes it seem like he started all the fights.

Pretty good for a remake

Saw the 2010 The Karate Kid last night. It was pretty decent, but I gotta say it is NOT as good as the original. Pat Morita owned that role of trainer/mentor/friend. I admire Jackie Chan for his skill as a martial artist, and he can be funny sometimes, but if you compare between the two, it's hands-down Mr. Miyagi. :)

There was nothing wrong with this version, and the relationship between Dre and Mr. Han was good. There was just something really meaningful about Daniel and Mr.Miyagi's bond. Maybe it could be that Jaden Smith is a lot younger than Ralph Macchio was in the main role and has a little less experience or maturity, I'm not sure.

Or it could possibly be that the original was for my generation and this latest one is for the next generation, which was the purpose for the remake in the first place.
