Karate Kid: Jackie Chan shows humor using HONOR Magic7 RSR

Chan seen using HONOR’s flagship phone in Karate Kid: Legends’ viral reel

Karate Kid: Legends is showing very soon in theaters. Starring the legendary Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, and Ben Wang, the film has a story that takes place three years after the events of the Cobra Kai TV series.

Naturally, with just weeks to go before the movie, there’s a lot going on its official social media channels to hype it up. And Chan and Wang found themselves in a reel that has gone viral in less than 24 hours.

Both Facebook and Instagram versions of the reel have already picked up more than 300,000 views in just half a day.

Chan is seen in the short clip, filming his co-star Wang on his phone while the latter is pulling off some awesome moves.

Chan looked as if he was really into it, even giving Wang some complements. The way the veteran actor was locked in, moving with the camera to track Wang’s movement, viewers easily could have expected cinematic captures.

And given Wang’s effort, the moves would have looked exceptional for social media posting. Except, it was apparently one of those classic “wait for the result” pranks where the shooter was filming a selfie video instead.

HONOR Magic7 RSR used in clip

Chan actually used the Porsche Design HONOR Magic7 RSR for the clip. HONOR’s flagship smartphone is one of the best in the market right now.

The handset features a 50MP f/2.0 front camera with support for up to 4K video recording. That is why the actor looked very clear and detailed.

But even if Chan did decide to actually film Wang’s martial arts moves, he should have captured them smoothly.

That’s because the Magic7 RSR boasts of the following back cameras:

  • 1/1.3″ 50MP f/1.4-f/2.0 OmniVision OVH9000 wide main camera, OIS
  • 1/1.4″ 200MP f/1.88 telephoto camera, 100x digital zoom, OIS
  • 50MP f/2.0 ultra wide camera

The camera system also banks on 1200 Points LiDAR Matrix and Dual Pixel PDAF for autofocus. That means capturing fast-moving subjects like Wang is no challenge.

Plus, there’s dual EIS+OIS for stabilization so there’s no doubt the shots would have looked stable and not shaky.

HANDS-ON: The Porsche Design HONOR Magic7 RSR is gorgeous

Throughout the years, Chan is known for his countless action movies and for doing his own stunts. But he also knows humor, having starred in a handful of comedy films as well.

In Karate Kid: Legends, Wang stars as Li Fong, who will be taken under the wings of Chan’s Mr. Han and Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso as he joins a martial arts tournament.
