They have different origins, techniques, styles, symbols, etc. Plus both branch off inot several subcatagory. Like, karate isn’t just karate. There’s kempo, Shaolin Ch’uan Fa, etc. And I’m sure the same of kung fu, but I make no promises there.
I think you actually should’ve posted this in the martial arts section lol
In the movie, Jackie Chan teaches Kung Fu to Jaden Smith. He watches Karate videos before he’s actually taught Kung Fu but that’s the only real reference to Karate in the movie.
It’s so ignorant, disrespectful, and a shame that the makers would call a Kung Fu movie ‘Karate Kid’
Disciplines and Origins
Technically both karate and kung fu originated from china
However it was developed further into two individual styles by each country
Karate Kid is imho western mainstream hollywood martial arts.
