JACKET ON, JACKET OFF!! The Karate Kid Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects With Jackie Chan & Ralph Macchio CROSSING OVER this weekend in Karate Kid: Legends, Coy & John reunite to give their The Karate Kid 2010 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! - Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects - Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Join Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey as they journey to Beijing in Harald Zwart’s 2010 reimagining of The Karate Kid. When Detroit teen Dre Parker (Jaden Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness, After Earth) moves with his mother Melanie (Taraji P. Henson, Empire, Hidden Figures) to China, he becomes the target of a ruthless kung fu academy bully, Cheng. Desperate, Dre finds an unlikely mentor in maintenance man Mr. Han (Jackie Chan, Rush Hour, Drunken Master), who teaches him discipline and self-defense through everyday chores—painting railings, polishing floors, and balancing on stairs—that prepare him for the ultimate test. Our hosts break down every key moment—from Dre’s inciting fight on the basketball court to film's astute spin on Mr. Miyagi's iconic “wax on, wax off” training technique with Han's "jacket-on, jacket-off" training mantra + the heart-pounding showdown at the Beijing Martial Arts Tournament, where the crane stance and the decisive crane kick subversion deliver one of the most celebrated finishes in modern martial-arts cinema. Tune in for an in-depth reaction to how perseverance, honor, and unexpected friendship turn a fish out of water into a champion! #TheKarateKid2010 #JadenSmith #JackieChan #TarajiPHenson #CraneKick #WaxOnWaxOff #HaraldZwart #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #CoyJandreau #JohnHumphrey #Movie #Reaction #React #Cinema #Film #MartialArtsMovies #MartialArts #KungFu #Karate The Karate Kid (2010) Aaron & Tara's Reaction: https://youtu.be/pXlvb3b_4Qs Cobra Kai Season 6 Reactions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-bIhJVeYWw-xFam1CuAvH45uAPNvPuzh Rumble in the Bronx (1995) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/MJvBauVbiMA Shanghai Noon (2000) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/VSrAQ9h61ds Rush Hour (1998) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/xHDfg1dY9hA 0:00 Checking In! 1:33 The Karate Kid Reaction 29:55 HUEL 31:57 The Karate Kid Movie Reaction 1:25:21 ACORNS 1:26:57 The Karate Kid 2010 Review 1:45:23 Patron of the Day SHOUT OUT!

All of the kids did their own stunts for the movie. Including Jaden. Really talented kids.

The evil kid, Zhenwei Wang joined Jackie Chan's stunt team, he is still a part of it to this day and even attended Karate Kids: Legends premiere in NYC 😊❤

"Every year I fix car. It fix nothing." That line always gets to me.

Lowkey I actually really like the no subtitles. Really puts you in the mind of Dre. Having people talk around you with no idea what they’re saying.

The haters of the movie were sooo hung up on the movie being more about "kung fu" than karate that they never actually appreciated it for how good it was. It's arguably the 2nd best film in the entire franchise. 😑😑😅😅

@FuzzyBeta2.0 2025-06-01

As someone who does martial arts, the scene where Jackie Chan first defeats the bullies is such a treat to watch simply because each of his techniques embodies what real self-defence is supposed to be. It's not about kicking your opponent's butt or showing who's boss, it's about putting distance between you and your aggressor so you and the people you are protecting can be safe. Notice that throughout the entire fight, Jackie Chan never once throws a punch/kick or hit on any one of the children, nor does he use many heavy, strength-based techniques against them. He knows he's bigger and stronger than them as an adult, and that if he were to throw his weight around he could badly hurt them. So he adjusts his techniques and softens his arm locks to simply block their attacks and disarm them. That sort of control is the mark of a great martial artist.
