Ok, so i was looking threw some movies to come out in 2010 and I saw The Karate Kid trailer http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/karatekid/ doesn't look like anything i saw in the other movies. Would this be a remake. Are spoofs remakes?

remakes are when the take something old and do it again may make small changes but usually has the same story or feel

You take something. Then you eat a banana. Then you sell the peel for profits.

It is when you remake something.
Might not be an exact word for word reproduction,but it has the same basic concept, and title, and characters.

You take something, and then you make it. Again.

Well, topic is over. You won't get anything better then this OP.

I can still try!

A remake is you take something, remake and proceed to fuck it up 95% of the time.

You make something that has already been made.
A re-make of something, if you will.

That's worse. Bad Sasquatch, bad. Smack yourself with a rolled up newspaper.

Can't I use a handily placed remake instead?
