I always wondered that, too.

Because they wanted to keep the franchise name.

I know that. I'm wondering why they are having a Chinese man teach Kung Fu, rather than a Japanese man teaching Karate. I know filmmakers like to change shit up from the source material, but this is just stupid.

it's hollywood baby
why would a diehard anime fan expect otherwise??
I mean, look at Dragonball
shit, I loved the cartoon and shit, but I did NOT bother seeing the movie, after I found out they steered away from the Asian presence.

Well put fam. I was gonna go for the karate came from kung fu angle but you make better sense.

Yeah, true. Hollywood wants to try to maintain at least SOME creativity when they go the easy route and do a remake.
I read the cast of the Tekken movie is casting Asians for the Asian characters. But it'll still suck.

All the remakes suck. I hated GI Joe and the last Trnasformers movie was garbage.

about half of Transformers 2, but the file was corrupted, so I never finished it. I thought the first 1 was a little funnier.

GI Joe was garbage on the real
no other way to put that, lol
I want to see how the new A-Team pans out, especially since the original characters were so iconic. Who didn't love George Peppard, Mr T, and the guys that play pretty-boy Face and Murdock?
As for Tekken...I don't know...
I passed on Dead or Alive, since I seen a shitty movie coming a mile away. The game is the truth tho, just like Tekken.

Game based movies, movie based games=Fail It's a proven scientific fact.

Mortal Kombat was ok and the animated Street Fighter movie was hot. Almost forgot Resident Evil was really good too.

I liked MK. Animated adaptations don't really count, though, and the Resident evil movies are one of the few exceptions. I mean, how do you fuck up a zombie movie. Although, House of the Dead was pretty shitty, but I did like the violence.

omg the street fighter II animated movie was buttah all night
When Ryu and Ken did a tag-team joint on Bison, I was like woah.
That sparked a hidden tag-team mode for one of the streetfighter games, where you and another player could run game on M.Bison.
I think the US tried to do an animated series after that, but it was shit compared to it.

1. Its called 'The Kung Fu Kid' outside of America
2. In the movie, he gets into a fight with bullies and thinks he knows karate, then he gets his ass kicked and the main bully gives him the nickname 'karate kid'.
Its a good movie, I'm actually going to see it again.

Well, they were trying to aim the show at little kids, as opposed to the game which ways made for adults. I don't know what they were thinking even letting that idea fly through and got the green light to make.
