The Karate Kid (2010)
I was pleasantly surprised with the remake of the Karate Kid movie. I have enjoyed Jackie Chan in many of his movies and I thought Jaden Smith did a good job in The Pursuit of Happiness. One of the opening scenes was of Jackie Chan's character eating ramyeon and being disturbed by a fly. He puts down the noodles with his chopsticks and follows the buzzing ready to snatch the fly out of thin air Mr. Miyagi style but at the last second he smashes the fly with a fly swatter in his other hand. Hilarious ode to the previous movie's most famous scene.
But what made this movie great is that it was distinctly different than the previous 1984 Karate Kid movie. One key difference is that the film is set in Beijing China and not Southern California.
