Give it a break. If they don’t want to show a kiss on screen that’s their prerogative and simply different views on what’s appropriate and what’s not. I think a country like ours with rampant teenage pregnancies, violence against women, etc would know better than to criticize a country with a culture that has much less such problems.

I don’t understand why Sony had to bow to pressure on this. How craven are they?

Very well put Jason – it’s the human that is censored by the Communists. How could they censor a kiss? It’s interesting – the same thing happened in “Sex and the City 2″ – the Islamic men in it get angry at Samantha because she kissed a guy in public (at night, on a beach with no-one around) but that is what they fear the most – anything human. The Communists and the Islamic fundamentalists are the same in this.

I still think it’s absolutely ridiculous to call this movie “The Karate Kid” when there is no actual “Karate” in it. Am I the only one?
