Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso in "The Karate Kid" I-III
Ralph Macchio's first acting gig was playing a nerd sent to military school in 1980's "Up the Academy," then he appeared on an episode of "Eight Is Enough." A few years later he joined forces with the Brat Pack in "The Outsiders," co-starring with Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, and Matt Dillon. But it was Daniel Larusso that put Ralph on the map and in every teen magazine on the planet, leading to performances in two of the three sequels.

What type of mother is that. if sunny was to stay with her mother, she would only learn to be a horrible person with no morals or values. is that what you would want for your child or yourself growing up. sunny is a child yes....but she knows tha jesse and sandra are trying to protect her and give her a good life. at least sandra cares about her and loves her..."

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...Alpha said "To Cybersleuth. What makes Denise Richards any better than Charlie Sheen??? She didn't go to college either. And two minutes after her good friend separated from her husband Denise started dating him. (Bon Jovi) She has obvioulsy made some really far out remarks to slam Sheen of which many could never be proven. She lost her temper at some photographers and threw laptops off a balcony at a theater. They hit two women below. One in her 80's and one in her 90's. Fortunately they were not harmed. There are two sides to every story. "

I would bet it will be as good as Wild Wild West (bomb) Even a hottie like Salma Hayek couldn't save that one.Some things should just be left alone. imho

THE BOTTOM LINE? Some classics just shouldn't be made period, but alas Hollywood never learns. THE KARATE KID is in a world all its own. There was more to this movie that made it great like the actor personalities that fit perfect. This only added to a pretty good plot. Add some great 80's music and you have a cult classic. If Will Smith has it in his mind to remake this film he should make it a totally different movie. Set the time in the 1950's where both black and asians experienced a lot of discrimination. Chan's character owns a small Chinese restaurant and Will Smith's son is a troubled youth constantly finding himself having to fight each and every day in a school filled with discrimation. Chan's character not only takes him under his wing and trains him as a martial artist, but provides him a sense of direction like a real father-figure would. Add to this element that Will Smith's son and say three other little siblings are being raised by his mother after their father abandoned them. Take this a step further and add a martial artist tournament in Hong Kong that Chan's character signs Smith's son up for. So there is another racist element with Smith's son's character in China where they have never had a black martial artist before. Let alone one who signs up for this unique tournament. Just a thought......

The problem with this re-make is that it will be like all the resent re-makes it will miss the whole point of the original (with exception of "The Dukes of Hazard." Mr. Morita garnered the Oscar nomination because of his acting in the film. Who could not be moved by the drunken scene where he talks about his wife and child and Danny discovers the Medal of Honor? Smith and Chan will make this some silly Kung Fu mess with nothing of the charm or pathos of the original.
