In the 2010 remake of the classic ‘The Karate Kid’, Jackie Chan stars as Mr. Han, a maintenance man with a hidden talent for kung fu, who mentors 12-year-old Dre Parker, played by Jaden Smith. The film, set in China, explores themes of perseverance, respect, and personal growth. As Dre struggles to adjust to his new life and faces bullying, Mr. Han’s guidance extends beyond martial arts to impart crucial life lessons.
