Intentional homage?

After watching the trailer, I can only believe that the producers meant to copy the themes and scenes and feel of the original THE KARATE KID. And I do have to say, it does look like a better "remake" than the piece of crap starring that Smith kid. I'll watch it, if only to see Don "The Dragon" Wilson and Cynthia Rothrock on screen!

A bit of a homage to a movie we all love, but the martial arts are more realistic, and the subject matter of bullying, family and the instructor's responsibilities are taken much more seriously. Thanks for your interest!
