  • Hereditary America strikes again in the acting profession...

    The Douglass family... ( Mike follows Kurt )

    The Barrymore family... ( Drew follows a bunch of Barrymores )

    The Bridges family... ( Bo, and the others follow Loyd. I loved Seahunt growing up )

    The James Cann Family... ( Scott, son of Sonny of the Godfather )

    The Brolin Family... ( James' son played G.W. Bush in "W" )

    Gwyneth Paltrow is the daughter of an actress - Blythe Danner.

    Best Wishes!

    • I think I heard Cage is the nephew or cousin of Francis Ford Coppola - director of the Godfather.

    • Nicholas Cage is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola. His real name was Nichalos Coppola but he changed it.
  • Sophia Coppola, his daughter, who he cast in The Godfather part 3 I think.
    Yes, Cage is related to Coppola, but not his son, like TL said, I think he is a nephew.

    • Sophia is also into directing like her dad.

      I enjoyed her version of the Marie Antonette/French Revolution saga starring Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antonette.

    • I believe Talia Shire is Coppola's sister.

      As for Cage, in one of his earlier movies (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) he was credited is Nicholas Coppola.

  • The fight scenes in the modern movies are so unrealistic. I hope they go back to the 1980s style.

    • Sounds like a great movie; looking forward to watching it.
  • Carrie Fisher is Debbie Reynolds' daughter.

    Liza Minelli is Judy Garland's.

    Jamie Lee Curtis is Janet Leigh's.

    George Clooney is from a big showbiz family, most noted for his aunt(?) Rosemary, and he's constantly embarrassed at being effectively the only person in it who can't sing.

    • Jamie Lee Curtis is Janet Leigh's.

      Don't forget about her famous father - Tony Curtis.

  • Yes, I knew that he is Will Smith's son, I think Will Smith has invested his money in this film.
  • This kid is obviously landing roles based purely on his acting abilities. :rolleyes:
  • I think his first acting job was on a Disney sitcom.
  • He was also in "The Pursuit Of Happyness" with his dad.

    • His little sister Willow is also a budding actress...and their mother is actress Jada Pinkett Smith.
  • Awesome movie, could see so many similarities of Jaden and Will Smith. Before I knew it was his son, i was like: that boy seems so familiar.

  • Yes! I know that Jaiden Smith is son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
  • I've heard so many great reviews about this movie. I can't wait to watch it over the weekend!
  • Great movie! two thumbs up

  • The Karate Kid brought something fresh to the table and proved exceptionally skilled at reaching its adolescent audience. This film's art also consists entirely of hiding the cynicism of its calculations under an agreeably modest and disarming manner.
  • Awesome movie! you'll find a meaningful lesson if you watch the movie.
  • Hey, didn't he also play his son in "The Pursuit of Happiness"?

    Also, a excellent movie, about success and what it takes to get there... you can learn a lot from it and it is based upon a real story, I can recommend it to any marketer.

    • It should be "Pursuit of HappYness"

      Anyway that kid is a really talented kid. He really knows how to act well.:p
  • I hope its as good as the original, always wanted to go and kick someones ass when id finished watching it lol
  • Neat thread! I didn't know he was Will Smith's son, neat to know!

    And the other posts are interesting here, too. Movie fans, hubby and me DOn't forget the Sheen fam: Ramon, Martin and Charlie. Emilio and Charlie...

    The Sheen Family Album


    (one of them is on a huge billboard here in Hilliard (can't recall what it's promoting, though -an old black and white child photo of one of them...)
  • This movie is horrible. How can an 11 year old have a love interest and meaningful kissing/romance scenes???


    Arrggghhhhh I hate that.

    That said, I'll still watch it and probably enjoy it.
  • Yeah! I really liked it.

    I've watched the movie yesterday and its so cool!
  • Perhaps a touch on the corny side and undeniably broad, Kid is a ridiculously rewarding drama that puts pure sincerity to marvelous use, inflating a mild underdog story into an inspiring tale of education and developing friendship.
  • I didnt really like it because the First Karate Kid Series was actually about Karate. but this one is about kung Fu
