Jackie Chan broke my heart!

We've all seen the Karate Kid (all the coolest kids have anyway) it's a great mix of cheesy 80's fashion, music and Karate. Essentially it's a classic! So why did Hollywood insist on using a pre-pubescent boy to play the heartthrob? In the late 80's early 90's this was who was lusted after:




















and this is Mr. Miyagi:


















So why did Jackie Chan and one of Will and Jada's children go and ruin it!!!

The new movie is not as good as the original. The awkward cuteness of Daniel is just awkward as Will Smith's son just looks too young and sweet; whilst I do love me some Jackie Chan he's no Mr. Miyagi as he just doesn't make me want wax on and wax off, Pat Morita has this role down to a tee.

Just watch the original.
