Jackie Chan as Miyagi doesn't work.
Part of what made the first one work was watching Arnold from Happy Days kick azz, because it was COMPLETELY unexpected...

Uh, why don't they call it the "Kung Fu Kid" instead of having a Chinese actor play a Japanese guy teaching a Japanese martial art? Walk on road, hm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later *squish* get squish just like grape.
You do karate with Japanese guy, safe. You do kung fu with Chinese guy, safe. You do karate with Chinese guy *squish* just like grape. |

Dudes. We've had Kevin Costner as Robin Hood with a Yank accent. I don't think Hollywood is going to get hung up on their Asian salad having the right ingredients.
Call it Occidental Orientalism (copyright pending).
