00:00It's gonna be exciting to see this next chapter of The Karate Kid on the big screen.
00:05This time, Mr. Han together with La Uso.
00:08You, uh, knew Mr. Miyagi?
00:10I did not come looking for Shinzen Miyagi.
00:12I came looking for you.
00:14Seeing how important Lee Fang is to Mr. Han and Daniel's relationship to Miyagi,
00:19there's a parallel there.
00:20There's the kung fu he learned in Beijing through Mr. Han,
00:23but he's entering a karate tournament, which is a different type of martial arts.
00:27And now, combining those worlds in an authentic way,
00:31the kung fu and karate.
00:34Miyagi way.
00:35It's something fresh.
00:36Two branches, one tree.
00:39Thank you, Sensei.
00:40So many friends send a letter, send a picture, send a video to me.
00:44They all want to play a karate kid.
00:46Then I see Ben acting, fighting, the stunt team training with him.
00:50I was like, wow.
00:51This is something that I've always wanted.
00:52It was hard, but it's basically living the dream.
00:55His work ethic, his preparedness is awesome.
00:58I want the Lee character to almost feel like a young Jackie again,
01:02and that humor which he does so well.
01:04Now you see me, huh?
01:07It really felt like Ben, Jackie, and I all were experiencing something great together.
01:14The action's good.
01:18The comedy's good.
01:20Watching story in the fight is what's interesting,
01:23and they've put a lot of that in this movie,
01:25along with some really incredible action choreography.
01:29The big thing about me is that a big thing is a fact that I should be fazendo.
01:32It's just a fine thing.
01:33It's the thing that I can do for a long time.
01:34The comedy's good.
01:35It's a weird thing.
01:36The comedy's good.
01:38It's a good and good thing.
01:39The comedy's good.
01:40The comedy's good.
01:41The comedy's good.
01:42The comedy's good.
01:43The comedy's right.
