| The A-Team | The Karate Kid | WINNER
(1 point per category)
|
| Clearest Title | This is the exact same title as a 1983-1987 TV show. | This is the exact same title as a 1984 film. | This is a little weird. Something fishy is going on at the movie theaters this weekend. Each film will split the point for clearest title. |
Best Genre
and Rating | Action
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence throughout, language, and smoking.
| Action/Family
Rated PG for bullying, martial arts action violence, and some mild language.
| Watch The A-Team after you watch The Karate Kid, otherwise Karate Kid is just going to seem boring. Each action film will split the point this round. |
Cleverest Tagline
(out of 5 stars) | "There is no Plan B"
Clever. Having no Plan B, means the team in the movie is the only shot of achieving something. Yet, it seems more clever because of the Letter "B" and the title's letter "A".
3/5 stars
| "N/A"
No tagline? Are you serious? What about "Chan and Smith. No the younger Smith."
0/5 stars
| Dear Karate Kid, you were neck and neck with the A-Team. But now the A-team gets the sole point. Come on. Signed, Curt David.
|
| Best Part of Trailer | "They are the best and they specialize in the ridiculousness" Quote from trailer. Perfect summary. | "It's like Star Wars. You're Yoda and I'm like a Jedi." Quote from trailer. Semi-perfect summary. | While I want to see A-Team more, The Karate Kid had a better trailer. It looks cute. Point for the kid. |
| Coolest Lead Actor | Bradley Cooper from The Hangover and He's Just Not That Into You. My favorite: He was Will Tippin in Alias. | Jackie Chan was in the Rush Hour trilogy and Shanghai Noon. My favorite: He was a voice in Kung Fu Panda. | I may have a heterosexual crush on Bradley Cooper. (Actually, I have a crush on anybody from the show Alias). Point for him. |
| Best Cast Member | Liam Neeson from Taken, Love Actually, and The Phantom Menace. My favorite: The Haunting. | Jaden Smith from The Pursuit of Happyness. My favorite: The Karate Kid trailer. | Jaden Smith is a charming, cute little kid. He easily takes this point from Mr. Neeson. |
Best Street Cred
For the Production | Director and writer Joe Carnahan has also directed and wrote Smokin' Aces, and Pride and Glory. | Director Harald Zwart has also directed Agent Cody Banks and The Pink Panther 2. | Joe Carnahan is going to win this round and will probably win future rounds now that he has directed The A-Team. |
