Jackie Chan has been confirmed as Mr. Miyagi in the upcoming Karate Kid remake.

With Will Smith’s son Jaden playing the role of Daniel-san, the Karate Kid remake was already sounding shit but now that Chan is attached, well, things have just gone from bad to worse.

Using someone as famous as Jackie Chan will no doubt be a boost at the Box Office but I fear that ultimately, his casting will have a negative effect on the film’s overall effect.

The original movie was always about Daniel-san and his struggle to overcome the bullies while Mr. Miyagi taught him Karate.  I can’t help but worry that due to Chan’s international stature the film will focus more on the Mr. Miyagi character than Daniel-san.

I hated the idea of this movie when it was first announced and hate it even more now that Jackie Chan is playing Mr. Miyagi.

For the life of me I can’t help but cringe when I see Jackie Chan uttering the immortal “Wax on, Wax off” line.
