I know we all love the original, but don’t you think we might be looking at it through rose tinted specs? There was no one who actually knew karate, so the training was a bit useless. Mr Miyage got all of his car washing and redecorating done for free. Here, he’s training with Jackie Chan. In the original, the fight between Mr. Miyage and the bullies had to be almost invisible, because obviously, he could not fight. They managed to get some nice training gimmicks in here (choreography by Jackie Chan). Of course, reducing the age of the students caused problems because Jackie could not just beat them up, so he was really clever about creating choreography where he didn’t land a single punch on them. There was some nice growth in the romance - he actually took on responsibility for the fact that he had almost made her late for her audition. And I loved the fact that she could actually play the violin. Also, in the original, Elisabeth Shue was way too mature for Ralph Maccio.

I just love Jackie Chan. He makes any movie 10 times better. By the way, he plays a serious role in a movie called “The Foreigner” - which is really good.
