Karate Kid finally remedied the worst of the Daniel Larusso films in front of the team of Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan

I am so relieved about a certain aspect of Karate Kid: Legends After all the previous ones had been disappointed Karate Kid Films. The first Karate Kid The film was released in 1984 and follows Daniel Larusso by Ralph Macchio, who is trained by Mr. Miyagi. That may sound strange because it was the star of three years Karate Kid Films and is an iconic film character, but Daniel Larusso is actually not a good fighter. While he won many fights in the first three films, Daniel Larusso never impressed me with his fighting skills.

In addition, Julia Pierce and Dre Parker, the other two “karate children” of the franchise, were also not very good fighters. This is disappointing because the franchise (obviously) is concentrated on fights. However, it seems that this unfortunate series will be with the upcoming end Karate Kid: Legends. Macchio and Jackie Chan, who played the leading role in 2010 The karate childlead the occupation of Karate Kid: Legendsin which you will train Li fong. In contrast to Daniel, Julia and Dre. It looks like Li Fong is actually a good fighter Karate Kid: Legends.

Karate Kid: Legends’ li fong actually looks like a good fighter

The trailers for Karate Kid: Legends present amazing fight scenes

During the first Karate Kid The film is iconic and the other films in the franchise are quite entertaining, I was never impressed by combat choreography. Because of the overwhelming choreography of the franchise, Daniel, Julia and Dre all seemed like weak fighters. This has worsened all films in the series because all of these characters are to be sent in karate. However, this seems to be thankfully as if it is changing Karate Kid: LegendsWhat Li Fong will introduce.

Based on the followers for Karate Kid: LegendsIt seems like Li Fong is an experienced fighter. While the first trailer for the film mainly focused on the roles of Macchio and Chan, the latest trailer was very about Li Fong. In the film, Li Fong will be an experienced Kung Fu fighter who is taught by Daniel Larusso and Mr. Han Karate. Based on moments in the trailer, such as the scene in which he jumps on a conductor in an alley and looks at someone who follows him, it looks like Li Fong was an impressive fighter.

None of the previous “karate kids” actually seemed to be good fighters

Li fong will probably be the best “karate kid”

While one would expect the notes Karate Kid Films to be qualified fighters, unfortunately this is not the case. Indeed based on the supporters for Karate Kid: LegendsIt seems that Li Fong is actually the first tour in the franchise, which can actually fight convincingly. While several fights in the Karate Kid Franchise is iconic, like the last fight between Daniel Larusso and Johnny Lawrence in the first filmNone of them are actually well done.

Sorry Daniel Larusso, but she has already exceeded the new karate child

The latest trailer for Karate Kid: Legends has shown that the new title character is already better than Daniel Larusso in his trilogy.

Also in 2010 Karate Kid Restart, the latest film in the franchise, disappointed me with his fight scenes. Watch Daniel and Dre Karate Kid Franchise is always amazing, but these fights should have more than just one step. Unfortunately, Fight choreography is nothing that Karate Kid Franchise has emerged in the pastBut hopefully this will change Karate Kid: Legends.

Ben Wang proves to be the perfect choice to play the new karate child

Ben Wang has a martial art background

In addition to the fact that Karate Kid: Legends Seems to have better combat choreography than the previous films in the franchise, It is also reassuring that Ben Wang, who plays Li Fong, has a martial arts background. Wang dominates martial arts such as karate, kenpo, kung fu, kumdo and taekwondo. None of the other “karate kids” had martial arts backgrounds, which could explain why so many fight scenes in the previous films are overwhelming.

This does not mean that Macchio, Hilary Swank and Jaden Smith in their respective Karate Kid Films. In view of the fact that they were pretty young when they all took on their role in the franchise, Macchio, Swank and Smith were all great in their roles. However, It will be nice to see an actor who has extensive martial art experience Karate Kid: Legends. For this reason, I am confident that the fights in Karate Kid: Legends will be some of the best fights as a whole Karate Kid Franchise.
