10 Movies That Totally Lied To You

4. The Karate Kid

Jason Takes Manhattan LIE

The remake of the Karate Kid starred Jackie Chan as Mr Han and Will Smith's son Jaden as... well, Will Smith's son Jaden. Now, there's no denying Jackie Chan's martial art skills. He's an incredible entertainer who uses his Kung Fu training to great effect in most of the films he's cast in.

Let's have a look at the operative words there, shall we: Kung Fu. The Karate Kid features a kid (check) being taught kung fu (ah, dammit). It's not even kung fu moves being called karate; the story is about a kung fu tournament.

At least the 1984 original features actual karate (check) being taught to a 23-year-old (dammit!) Ralph Macchio.
