I've just finished washing my eyes out with Comet and nothing brings about resolution better than sharing your pain so I pass on to you a spy photo taken at Wudang Mountain in China, one of the birth places of Chinese martial arts, of Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith on the set of The Kung Fu Kid.

Kung Fu Kid is a remake of Karate Kid, starring Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. It is a joint production by China Film Group, Columbia Pictures, Jerry Weintraub Productions and Overbrook Entertainment. The script is penned by Steve Conrad (The Promotion, The Pursuit of Happiness, The Weather Man) and the director is Harald Zwart (The Pink Panther 2, Long Flat Balls, One Night at McCool's).

Long Flat Balls indeed. I'm so bitter.

I'm sure that when all is said and done, you'll be fine. Remember folks, remakes don't kill people. People kill people.

Harald Zwart, director of The Pink Panther 2 (I haven't seen this one, and I'll never do)? My god, this guy SURE knows how to film martial arts sequences!!!!

Lots of people in Hollywood should be shot on sight...

It's weird that those slapstick directors have connections to martial arts movies. Like that mr magoo movie (looks exactly the same as that pink panther movie), directed by the guy who made Supercop I think. I guess it's because there are stunts in them...
