It’s also far from the musical tack taken in Karate Kid 2, which was defined by Peter Cetera’s love them “ Glory of Love”. The music is certainly a departure from the original Karate Kid which featured Survivor’s Moment of Truth, as well as the movie’s climactic and iconic song “ You’re the Best” by Joe Esposito. Jaden Smith is no Ralph Macchio nor is Jackie Chan anything like Pat Morita. I guess the new direction isn’t surprising.
It takes you on a completely different music journey, with tunes from The Roots, Gorillaz, Flo Rida, Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber, John Mayer and even some AC/DC. The studio did not release a soundtrack album with the songs from The Karate Kid remake, but you can find all 18 of the songs from the movie here. This remake is much more than a remix.
