When Jackie Chan Trained Jaden Smith's Replacement... And It Actually Worked.

Описание: The story follows Li Fong, a super talented kung fu kid from Beijing, China. He's one of the best students of the legendary Mr. Han (that's Jackie Chan!). But his mom has to move to New York for work, so Li Fong has to leave everything behind. His mom is super scared of fighting now—because last year his big brother died in a terrible accident right after winning a big martial arts tournament. She keeps saying, "No more fighting, ever!"
New York is totally different! New language, new food, no friends yet. Li Fong gets hungry and walks into a pizza shop owned by Victor—a funny, clumsy guy who makes pizza while dropping sauce everywhere and joking around. Luckily, Victor's kind and pretty daughter Mia steps in, helps Li Fong, and they quickly become good friends.
But trouble shows up fast. There's Connor, a cocky karate champ who's Mia's ex-boyfriend. He gets jealous seeing Mia with Li Fong and starts bullying him. Meanwhile, Victor is in big trouble—he owes a lot of money to a mean dojo owner named O'Shea, and some tough guys come to collect!
Li Fong wants to help, even though he promised his mom no more fights. He ends up teaching Victor some kung fu moves (Victor used to be a great fighter back in the day!). Then Mr. Han shows up in New York to check on his student… and he even brings in Daniel LaRusso (the original Karate Kid, played by Ralph Macchio!) to teach Li Fong real karate!
Together they mix kung fu and karate into one epic fighting style. Li Fong enters the biggest karate tournament in New York—the Fight Borough—to win prize money and help Victor pay his debts. Expect cool dragon kicks (from his late brother), a broken-down motorcycle date, messy pizza moments, sneaky bad guys, and one massive final battle!
It's full of exciting action, heartwarming friendship, standing up for what's right, and plenty of laughs—especially from Victor trying to be a kung fu student at his age!
