if hes 10 now he wouldve been 8 in it.. lol

If he's 10 now wouldn't he have been 6 or 7 when it was being filmed?

[deshende]

Who's gonna be mr. miyagi

Bruce Lee Roy from the Last Dragon gets my vote. I love that movie.

[Dimmauk]

I bet this will be good, but will it be the best... around?

LOL
The movie might be good, but the soundtrack will not be better than the original.

[altwight]

Can't have a karate kid without mr miyagi. duck

[ZarakiKujata]

If he's 10 now wouldn't he have been 6 or 7 when it was being filmed?

Depends on when it was filmed, he could've been anywhere from 6-8 possibly but he definitely wasn't 4-5 lol

I can't see Jackie Chan as Miyagi, since they are filming in Beijing they may very well end up using a popular chinese actor that isn't that big here yet.

[Takedown3]

this is what happens when u get a black man in the white house

[Dimmauk]

Miyagi could be an African name.

[AoE]

A lot of Japanese stuff can be changed to African.

I bet this will be good, but will it be the best... around?

I think it goes without saying it'll have to fight til it drops, never stops, can't give up, til it reaches the top... of the box office.

I understand we have a Black President now, and that's cool, but come on, not everything now has to be remade with a black guy as a lead role.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Will Smith is rumored to play Captain America (I'm sure it was just a rumor), and now Beyoncee wants to be Wonder Woman....... right...

[AoE]

Black Revolution!

Its all part of the Black takeover!

They took:
Football
Basketball
Baseball
Hockey
F1 racing
Golf
White House
Boxing
MMA
Tennis

I think the only thing left is Swimming, and only cause Black People don't swim.

I guess Black People are the new master race. Its ok, you can still hang out with the Asians and Hispanics(not for long Mwuhahahahaha)

[Dimmauk]

Its ok though, White people took one from the Black people.

Eminem Is The Best Rapper Alive, According To Vibe Poll
MC, who has been very quiet in recent years, still beat out Jay-Z, Kanye West, Game, Ludacris in mag's readers' poll.

By Shaheem Reid

According to Vibe magazine's fans, Lil Wayne isn't "The Best Rapper Alive." He isn't even in the top two. After weeks of online voting, Eminem was crowned the globe's top MC in a tournament-style contest.

In a contest on the magazine's Web site, 64 of today's top rappers — from MTV News' reigning "Hottest MC in the Game" Kanye West toRick Ross, Nas and T.I. — were given brackets, similar to NCAA basketball teams during March Madness. Fans began voting on head-to-head matchups in July, with MCs gradually being eliminated until Marshall Mathers was tapped as the ultimate victor this month, beating out Brooklyn lyric guru Jay-Z. Slim Shady received 69 percent of the votes in the finals. The magazine said more than 920,000 votes were cast.

Eminem only won because of affirmative action.

You know hip-hop is dead when you have people arguing over the best rapper alive.

I like Eminem-but is he really better than the Jigga man?

I say fuuuuuuuck thaaaaaaat nooooooiiiiiissseeeee.

omg. this made me look up Pat Morita (mr. myagi) and apparently he died only 3 years ago. :/

IMDB trivia:

Graduated from Armijo High School in Fairfield, California.

While performing as a stand-up comic, he was discovered by Redd Foxx. This led to several appearances as Ah Chew on "Sanford and Son" (1972).

Was often billed as the Hip Nip for his stand-up performances.

Was a fan of the Green Bay Packers football team.

Diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis as a child and was told that he would never walk.

Was the first American-born Asian nominated for an acting Oscar. It was for his role of Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid (1984).

Had three daughters with Yuki

Was the subject of a popular Internet myth - "That he owned a Japanese-style restaurant called Miyagi's on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California." However, according to Morita himself in an 'about.com' interview, this was just a myth and he had nothing to do with the restaurant.

Buried at Palm Green Valley Memorial Park in Clark County, 6701 North Jones, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

Last movie ever filmed is the highly anticipated film Royal Kill (2008) (working title: Princess) also starring Eric Roberts and Lalaine.

During his funeral procession, his former co-star Ralph Macchio of The Karate Kid (1984) quoted, "Forever, my Sensei" towards the mourners.

One of seven actors of Asian descent nominated for an Academy Award in an acting category. The others are Miyoshi Umeki who won Best Supporting Actress nominated for Sayonara (1957), Sessue Hayakawa nominated for The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Mako nominated for The Sand Pebbles (1966), Haing S. Ngor who won Best Supporting Actor for The Killing Fields (1984), Ken Watanabe nominated for The Last Samurai (2003) and Rinko Kikuchi nominated for Babel (2006).

His real accent is American, when playing "Mr. Miyagi" in the Karate Kid movies, he used a Japanese accent.

The scene that sealed his nomination for Best Supporting Actor in "The Karate Kid", in which Myagi gets drunk and weeps over the death of his wife and child in the Manzanar Internment Camp was nearly cut out of the film. The studio thought the scene was un-necessary and wanted it cut. But director John G. Avildsen argued that the scene was important to Myagi's character and finally the studio relented and allowed the scene to be kept in. Also, during the casting of the film, the studio wanted legendary Japanese actor, Toshiro Mifune to play Myagi but Avildsen and producer Jerry Weintraub thought Mifune's interpretation of the character was far too serious for what the film needed.



On a side note, guess the "remakers" think people don't know the difference between chinese and japanese! Mr. Myagi won't be the same ;_;

Black people were never good at telling the difference.

This was sad
