With the news H’wood is going to remake the original Karate Kid movie, with Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi, it causes the crew at Major Spoilers to wax poetic about the multi-movie franchise. What flavor of The Karate Kid do you prefer?

How can one not vote for “Arnold?”
i voted for the girl, because… do i really have to explain at this point.
i’m lonely :(
I like Jackie Chan, but its not Mr. Miyagi if it isn’t Pat Fn Morita.
If it ain’t Pat, I ain’t havin’ that!
Seriously, Jackie Chan? What in the 7 levels of hell are they thinking?
Actually, what we’re they thinking remaking THIS movie?
It doesn’t need to be remade.
Aw, c’mon, give Jackie a fighting chance! At least post a picture of him with a see-through peasant blouse too! (actuallly, don’t – eeeww!).
Jackie Chan can’t be Miyagi. He’ll most likely have to play a character from China so they’ll have to find a new name for the master instead of simply finding new actors the play the character. Just maintain the continuity. Jackie’s character could’ve been an old student of Miyagi.
