What's on your mind?

Is that a show spun off from The Karate Kid movies?

Yes, 34 years later Daniel and Johnny.

Isn't that character racially insensitive in modern times?

 

[Toro]

Isn't that character culturally insensitive in modern times?

Not any more or any less than any old movie in context.... I personally dont see it at all..... but Im of a different generation... so what do I know.

How about the controversy that he's portrayed by a white actor in yellow face?

Wow, that Karate Kid is almost 60.

 

[MehGuy]

How was he a karate kid in the first film? He was like 23 when it came out..

Yeah. It's an 1980's classic and teenagers during that time were born in the 1960's and 1970's.

What's even scarier is that we're closer to the 2030's than the 1990's.

He was certainly not a teenager when he was in that film.

I saw the guy who played Doc on Back To The Future on the latest episode of Roseanne.. and I felt real bad.. he looks and sounds terrible.

Casting older actors to play kids and teens was common back then.

23 year old playing a kid sounds creepy.

I was -6 when that film came out. I had 6 more years of being dead to look forward too when that film premiered. Never saw it during my child-hood either. Looked like a really primitive and scary old movie to me, lol.

 

[MehGuy]

From reading the Wiki article.. it sounds like a film where an Asian teaches a white (maybe Hispanic boy) to culturally appropriate Asian culture. This is problematic on so many levels.. I don't even know where to begin..

I've seen a high school movie where there's a scene involving a game of beer pong among teenagers at a high school party. The challenger to the main character looked old enough to be a college frat boy.

Yeah.. worst I saw was when they tried to pass a 44 year old as a 15 year old in this one film I saw.

I mean I know it's sometimes hard to pass up good actors, but sometimes what a person looks like matters.

 

[MehGuy]

Actually I think the film "Jack" wins all.. but that was the whole purpose of that stupid film. Lol.
