Kung Fu Fighting: Will Smith's son tackles Jackie Chan in remake of Karate Kid

Will Smith's son has already mastered his father's acting abilities.

But now Jaden Smith is adding another set of skills to his growing CV.

The 11-year-old actor is learning martial arts for his starring role in the remake of The Karate Kid.



Wax on: Jaden Smith as Dre tackles master Jackie Chan, who plays Mr Han, in Kung Fu Kid, the remake of 1984 film The Karate Kid

And with Jackie Chan as his master, his kung fu skills should be up to scratch in no time.

Kung Fu Kid is currently being filmed on Wudang Mountain in Hubei, China, under the watchful eyes of Jaden's famous father Will Smith, who is a producer for the film.

Rather than learning Karate from an eccentric Japanese teacher name Mr Myagi, as in the 1984 original, Jaden stars as Dre, who moves to China and faces bullies who speak a different language and have a totally different culture.

He meets Mr Han, played by Chan, who mentors him in kung fu and teaches him that there is more to martial arts than fighting.

Chan, 55, is already impressed with Jaden's skills and wrote on his webpage about the youngster's dedication.

The veteran Hong Kong action star said Smith Junior learned the Chinese phrases for different moves, responded to orders in Mandarin, and treated his teacher, Wu Gang, according to traditional Chinese custom.

'When he was thirsty, he gave the traditional hand gesture, putting one fist into the palm of the other, bowed and asked permission to drink some water,' he said.

Chan said Jaden even learned the drunken fighter routine he made famous in his 1978 film Drunken Master.

'He put my son to shame! I provided my son with the best martial artists in the world, and he could not be persuaded to try it. In just two months, Jaden had learned so much. He is truly a talented boy,' Chan said.

Chan’s son, Jaycee, is a singer and actor but has not followed in his father’s footsteps as an action star.

And he said he suggested to Will Smith, 40, that he send his son to China for a few years of kung fu training, predicting 'when he returns, his martial arts will be truly incredible'.

It is the second time the rapper-turned-actor has worked alongside his son. They starred together in The Pursuit Of Happyness.

This time, Jaden takes the limelight on his own.



The Karate Kid starred Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita. They went on to star in three Karate Kid films together as Daniel and Mr Miyagi

'THE KUNG-FU KID' CHANGES BACK TO 'THE KARATE KID'

Theres been loads of uncertainty surrounding the remake of TEH KARATE KID. It was initally changed to THE KUNG FU KID and now its seems it's back to wait for it - THE KARATE KID. The remake stars Jaden Smith, son of Will Smith and Jackie Chan.

A remake of the 1984 movie THE KARATE KID, KUNG FU KID will be set in an exotic Asian locale. The new film will borrow elements of the original plot, wherein a bullied youth (Smith) learns to stand up for himself with the help of an eccentric mentor (Chan).
