Well if certain areas have limited of that, and this is set in that said area, then don't expect them to showcase different cultures. Frankly, it's not needed and trying to force it makes your movie look woke.
Stop LYING.....Satan. :P
Why would there even be a bunch of hispanics in China anyway?
That argument can be made for the 2010 movie. Jaden Smith was even calling it that when they were filming. But calling it Karate Kid made it better? No. They could have called it something else entirely if "Kung Fu Kid" sounded weird. To call it something that doesn't reflect the main element was just ridiculous and pure marketing ploy at its finest.
With this movie, since it does have Daniel LaRusso, there may be some karate thrown in to make the title more relevant here at least.
It didn't show anything else.
It's definitely not the scene with Daniel and Johnny at that restaurant where Daniel tries to catch a bug with chopsticks because that was before the credits, though it comes off like it could be a post-credits scene.
I did and got nothing but just the credits. There was no scene afterwards.
This is thirty years later dude. You think she'd still be that way now? No. Was either Daniel or Johnny tolerable in the original? They both annoyed me and ironically in ways, still carried that way now especially Johnny who came off as a man-child who wanted to play games all the time, so I get being skeptical with Julie. But Julie being a female, she'd probably grow to be humbler and more mature than her male counterparts for anyone to appreciate her now in her 40s.
But come on, she was like a kid then and this was thirty years ago. Time to grow up and look back at things with new light. She would be returning to a revival acknowledging all the moves, now as a middle-aged adult with new lenses and a story-arc, not her returning to Next Karate Kid 2.0 with the same material and thus another horrible experience.
While she had quite the fame throughout the late 1990s-2000s, what has she even been in that was all that popular the last decade? Unless I've been ignorant to the media worse than I thought, I don't recall her being involved in any huge projects that measure up to what she could have gained being in Cobra Kai, or her name being talked about in a major way. It seem like her popularity faded.
Hilary Swank didn't want to return for whatever reason. They had plans to bring Julie into the mix. You dolt.
Also, the movie WAS acknowledged because it changed Miyagi's name from what we learned in the second movie, and Season 6 built a storyline around it being a fake one he went by. SO THERE.
Okay, I get the whole famous thing better now. She did make a successful career of herself afterwards better than the other Karate Kid colleagues, though Morita had quite a career beforehand and Macchio was in some successful movies before, during, and after his KK arc like "The Outsiders", "My Cousin Vinny", etc. to name a couple.
The scene with Danny's mom was quite odd because I didn't think she would be that close to Miyagi to know all of that. Definitely more of a Julie moment there, but it makes me wonder what role she would have had prior in the story had this been her part at the end.
