Mr. Miyagi vs. Mr. Han





I want Mr. Han to win. He has equipment in his hilot massage technique. Always better if you have equipment.

Both persons use a fighting style which use their opponents’ momentum against them, so the problem is who will throw the first strike? Perhaps the fight won’t even begin. They would just stare for a long time, and then decide to just eat rice in separate, quiet rooms. 

Anyway this year's Karate Kid recognized that the original movie's simple storyline is ripe for a repeat. That in itself deserves praise. Add to it how Jackie Chan bravely used his own gracious aging in his acting, the more complicated karate moves, and the serene views of Beijing, the movie is convincingly not a waste of time and money to watch. One of the best of the year so far.
