Only in the remake with Jaden Smith, since it acts as a spiritual successor to the 80s franchise the directing team thought it would be more selling to name it like the well-known movies rather than "Kung Fu kid". It doesn't impact the quality of the movie anyways since the word "karate" isn't mentioned through the whole movie (if I remember correctly).

The Jaden Smith remake was decent, only watched the 1 and 2 of the 80s that were fine too.
