Two generations of The Karate Kid franchise join forces to forge a new legend in the newest installment that shapes the past, present, and future of this iconic franchise.
Karate Kid Legends |
Starring the OG Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, Jackie Chan, and American Born Chinese's Ben Wang, Karate Kid Legends centers on Li Fong, played by Wang, as he moves with her mother to New York City to live a new life, only to get bullied by someone who claims to be the town's karate champion. Fong seeks help from the legendary Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso, played by Macchio, and kung fu master Mr. Han, played by Jackie Chan, to prepare himself for the greatest challenge of his life.
Seeing Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan joining forces in this newest Karate Kid movie gave viewers that No Way Home feeling, but this is more than just their dream collaboration between the two actors. This movie is all about finding something to believe in and passing it to the future. Forging a new future and honoring the past is what made this newest Karate Kid chapter unique from start to finish.
What a way to conclude a month of Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage with this newest chapter of The Karate Kid saga that blends kung fu and karate with two legendary actors forging a new legend out of the American Born Chinese you know. Ain't no Spider-Man No Way Home, but it's by no means one of the best movies to watch before summer begins.
