IMDb Trailer

12-year-old Dre Parker could've been the most popular kid in Detroit, but his mother's latest career move has landed him in China. Dre immediately falls for his classmate Mei Ying but the cultural differences make such a friendship impossible. Even worse, Dre's feelings make him an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. With no friends in a strange land, Dre has nowhere to turn but maintenance man Mr. Han, who is a kung fu master. As Han teaches Dre that kung fu is not about punches and parries, but maturity and calm, Dre realizes that facing down the bullies will be the fight of his life.

Editor's Notes

Note

Sony S-Tier 4K. Locked behind an expensive box set with the Karate Kid sequels and nobody is happy about it. Sony will probably release it separately eventually, but knowing Sony it'll be a limited edition steelbook.
