The Jackie Chan Karate Kid was originally a reboot of that franchise, with a new setting and a new cast. (In China, it was even called The Kung Fu Dream, because there was no karate in this version.) Apart from maintaining the basic concept — a troubled outsider teen learns martial arts from an old master — they were totally distinct.

Ben Wang and Ralph Macchio took the stage at CinemaCon with an extended look at 'Karate Kid: Legends' from Sony Pictures.
