and even if he didn't actively practice KF like he does, it would still be a kung fu flick. Stop being pedantic.

He doesn't do Kung Fu.

How is it a Kung Fu film if there is no Kung Fu in it? It's a martial arts film.

It's like the new Karate Kid film should have been called Kung Fu Kid, not Karate Kid, the style is the film is Chinese not Japanese

Excellent film. Has, possibly, the best theme of all time.

Got a smoke?

Come the fuck on, have any of you ever trained? I feel like I'm shouting at children on a playground right now.

No, in going to China, it had to be kung fu. And we just had to figure out how to make people understand that we know China is kung fu and karate is Japan. And we decided to keep the title because when you see the movie, you'll understand that it is a stigma. They are teasing him by calling him the karate kid. That's why it made total sense to us. In the movie, also the mom who doesn't really know the difference, she says, 'didn't you like that karate class?' And he goes, 'it's not karate mom.' So we all know it's kung fu. For me the big difference physically, was that in karate, there is a lot of the mechanical, this and that and you can just rehearse things over an over again. Kung fu is a lot more of a ballet. So when we came up with the jacket on, jacket off thing, there are like twelve moves buried in one single swooping move. And that's what I loved about the whole idea, that you can learn one thing and what you discover is that you've actually learned twelve different kung fu moves within that one little thing.

It's Thai martial art, can't remember the name atm. And to be extra picky, 'Kata' is a Japanese word and wouldn't be used in the context of Kung Fu.

No, it's not Muay Thai. I know he does Muay Thai but the form he does in that clip is from something else... I'll get back to you.
