Dre Parker: Mr. Han... do you know you got a car in your living room?

At one point in the film the television in Dre's apartment shows a screening of the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Mermaidman & Barnacleboy III", but the Japanese dub is actually from the episode "Sailormouth" (notable by the dolphin sound effects). See more...

Trivia

Whilst this movie is a remake of the 80's Karate Kid, and is named the same, no actual karate is performed at all. It's all kung-fu. See more...

Dre's white uniform never picks up any stains during the tournament. Sweat is rolling down his forehead, but there are no sweat stains on his jacket. He also keeps rolling and twisting on the mat, but again, no stains ever appear on his jacket. [Sweat doesn't stain until it dries. If you mean wet spots, then it's simply explained by breathable fabric. The moisture is absorbed then quickly evaporates. A lot of athletic apparel is made from this type of material.]

At the start of the movie Dre and Sherry are in Detroit, and they take a flight to Beijing on Air China, but Air China doesn't fly into or out of Detroit. [TheY lived in Detroit. We see them leaving home, then arriving at the airport with no real indication of how much time passed in between. They didn't necessarily stay in town.]

After Mei Ying told Dre they coudn't be friends anymore he went to go see Mr. Han, and while he was on his way he got a text message from his mom saying, "Where are you, you need to get home." At the bottom of the text, the date was listed as "June 8th, 6:08 pm". When Dre got to Mr. Han's house minutes later, Mr. Han said it was July 8th. [You set the date and time on your phone, and it gives you information accordingly. He messed up when doing so. Understandable as he's 10 and the two months are right next to each other on the list and both start with "J".]

Mr Han says he smashes his car once per year and is then rebuilding it. Giving the state of the car after he smashed it in the movie, he is certainly in the wrong job. He has a career as panel beater in front of him. Assuming the car looks every year the same after he is "finished" with it the look of the car before he smashed it was rather stunning. All panels were straight, no visible damage. Even the frame was a complete write off beforehand and looked more it was run over by a tank. [We see the car at the end of it's 'repair cycle'; after Han has spent a whole year fixing it. He works on it every day and only repairs the cosmetic damage - he's only trying to make it look the way it did before the accident. After years of smashing and repairing the car he is getting very good at it, and the pieces damaged beyond repair (glass, mirrors, ets) are obviously swapped out with replacement parts.]
