Review | Karate Kid: Legends movie review โ€“ Jackie Chan, Ben Wang in disappointing sequel



2.5/5 stars

Following the success of Netflix spin-off show Cobra Kai, The Karate Kid franchise rumbles on.

The latest big-screen instalment, Karate Kid: Legends โ€“ the sixth movie since the 1984 original, which starred Ralph Macchio โ€“ is like a greatest hits compilation.

We have Macchio back as Daniel LaRusso, now living in what appears to be a shrine to Mr. Miyagi, the serene war veteran who taught him how to use martial arts to defend himself.

Jackie Chan returns as Mr. Han, previously featured in the 2010 reboot produced by Will Smith and starring his son Jaden.

Based in Beijing, Chanโ€™s character is a revered sifu teaching kung fu to youngsters including Li Fong (Ben Wang), soon to be uprooted by his mother (Ming-Na Wen).
