The Karate Kid 2?

When you make so much money, another sequel is just around the corner. The Karate Kid is no exception. It made $50 million this past opening weekend. Let the buzz start…
IGN reports:
Speaking to MTV News, director Harald Zwart said that the team behind the movie have already kicked around some ideas.
“Every now and then we discussed it” he said. “But the truth is, when you see Jackie [Chan] and Jaden [Smith], they’re like a really good film couple. On and off camera, I was watching how they were pulling practical jokes on each other and throwing rocks in the lake, and you just want to keep looking at them because they have a great dynamic and great humor. We have just been playing with a few different ideas, but we haven’t landed on anything at the moment.”
However, it seems that a sequel would be unlikely to follow the template of the original Karate Kid Part II, with Zwart stating “I personally think it’s now so much on its own two feet, given the success, that it would be interesting to see where we could take it without ever thinking about the old ones.”
Like I said on my review, I really enjoyed this remake/reboot. I wouldn't mind watching a sequel to this. I like what director Zwart stated, I don't want to see them go out and copy the original sequel. I would give this sequel a chance if they go another rout. I want to see this trio try something different. Surprise us. Take a risk. Make the sequel an original story of their own.
What do you guys think? Do you want to give Chan and Smith another stab at it?
I’ve yet to see the recent one but from I’ve heard people talking about its a pretty good movie and frankly we’ve seen franchises made out of less. Perhaps something where Chan takes in another kid and said new kid a bit of a rivalry sparks between them.
Let’s say from there they kinda go at it but the second film ends with them facing off at a tournament Leave this second movie ending on a cliffhanger (like not actually showing who won) to setup for a third. Third movie starts off after a time jump of a few years with Smith’s character living in America again. After having two movies to establish his character in this their film he is acting out of character. In short he’s a troubled kid who kept the moves but abandoned the discipline of kung fu. As the movie progresses it is shown what happened in that fight at the end of the second movie, why he is back in America, and why his attitude changed.
i have not seen it yet but i want to and i totaly agree they need to do something new and differnt

I LOVE THE MOVIE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being a big fan of the original Karate Kid, I have to admit I was worried about this remake. Well the wife and kids took me to the movie for father’s day and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I would absolutely love to see a 2nd one. I too thought it would be hard to follow suit of KK2, being that they were already in China. If I was rating the remake of Karate Kid on a star basis I would give it 4 and 1/2 stars.
