I gather the international release *will* be called "Kung Fu Kid" - I read it somewhere. Given that the original film featured standard Taekwondo rather than karate (though did at least have a Japanese mentor) it wasn't exactly accurate anyway.
I saw the trailer yesterday and it doesn't look quite as awful as I expected. Not a complete remake, another of those flipping "re-imaginings". The scene with the fly and the chopsticks... priceless, and a joke only those familiar with the original would get.
