Ok, well that problem can be solved by really short stunt-doubles, like the ones they use for Tom Cruise. ... Alright, better line of inquiry. Any word on what kind of class angle they're playing for this Karate Kid? Would Will Smith try to MAKE his son try to front like he has an inner-city leaning that he CLEARLY would have no frame of reference for? Could Smith avoid studio pressure to avoid stereotypes that the bosses would think in the best interests of marketing? Any other Will Smith children making appearances in this flick? (Phew. One more coming...) Daniel-san to be replaced by Will-Smisu-SON? Say it ain't so, Mr. Miyagi.

Or is this another kid? Never saw that movie, and never saw 90210 either, but I'm sure that Tori Spelling is a very fine actress. And Bobby Bonds' kid that followed him into baseball...uh...uh...
