  • Recently remastered with newly obtained higher resolution video to enhance your viewing pleasure! Stars of the iconic and indelible 1984 film "The Karate Kid" and the new hit UA-cam show, "Cobra Kai" -- Ralph Macchio ('Daniel LaRusso'), William Zabka ('Johnny Lawrence') and Martin Kove (Cobra Kai sensei 'John Kreese') -- share behind-the-scenes stories and answer fan questions at their 2015 Motor City Comic Con Q&A panel in Novi, Michigan, U.S.A.
    "The Karate Kid" is a 1984 American martial arts drama that also starred Elisabeth Shue and the late Pat Morita. It is an underdog story in the mold of "Rocky" (1976). The film, which centered on the Goju-ryu, Goju Kai style of karate, was a commercial success upon release and garnered critical acclaim -- earning Morita a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
    Ralph George Macchio Jr. (born November 4th, 1961) is an American actor also know for portraying 'Eugene Martone' in "Crossroads," 'Bill Gambini' in "My Cousin Vinny" and 'Johnny Cade' in "The Outsiders." In 2018, he reprized the role of 'Daniel LaRusso' in the well-received UA-cam series "Cobra Kai."
    William Michael Zabka (born October 20th, 1965) is an American actor, screenwriter, director and producer best known for appearing in several iconic 1980s films including "The Karate Kid Part II" sequel and quite recently in the spin-off series "Cobra Kai" alongside Ralph Macchio. In 2004, he was nominated for an Academy Award for co-writing and producing the short film "Most."
    Martin Kove (born March 6th, 1946) is an American film and television actor also known for his film work -- especially "Rambo: First Blood Part II" (1985) -- and for portraying the character 'Victor Isbecki' on the television series "Cagney & Lacey" (1982-1988).

Billy has a very forward outgoing personality where as i can tell ralph gets nervous and took several sips of water in short periods while sitting down which clearly was more about nerves than thirst

How is it called Karate Kid? Because you wanted to do it for change of color? You know some movies should not be touched. Would’ve made sense if the movie was Based on KARATE!

      Good catch. You might be on to something here. Ralph could be a "no-planes guy" probably because he knows more than what the general population does about 9/11. He's a New Yorker and an iconic actor for a whole generation , meaning he most likely surrounds himself with important people "in-the-know."

    Dear UA-cam. Please be intelligent with this series and let's get some closure by the series end(which hopefully will not be for many years). Get Elizabeth Shue involved, so that Ali and Johnny can have some closure and end up together. Try to get Chad McQueen(Dutch) involved so not only can he act in it and bring his son Steven R McQueen(who can play a role as a bad arse student under Dutch's training)involved. He is also an accomplished director who can direct a few episodes every year. His father was the legendary Steve McQueen, who trained under Bruce Lee. Dutch hated Daniels' guts. It would make for great storytelling. Eventually, in about season 5 or 6, you can bring Hilary Swank into the mix. She is not in demand much these days and would make a great addition to share Miyagi stories with Daniel. Keep up what you're doing with building the new generations of the story in Johnny and Daniels kids, but keep bringing in the old school element as well as you did with Kreese.

    • @josephcasanova1975
      @josephcasanova1975 5 років тому +1

      Well, I do not usually reply to my own comments, but after watching season 2, I am thinking that I at least can interpret not the exact plan of the writer's vision but some general idea of the direction they are going in. From the reunion with Bobby, Tommy, and Jimmy and them talking about Dutch doing time in prison I would guess that they already approached Chad McQueen about doing a guest spot, but were turned down, but left a back door for him to come back in with future seasons with him doing time in prison. I could be wrong but think the reason Chad McQueen turned them down is that he has changed with older age and may be camera shy. Not shy to use the camera as I pointed out in my first text after Karate Kid he took to being behind the camera instead of being in front of it when he started directing. They also had Johnny mistakenly text Ali and although he chickened out before sending the message when that woman bumped into him the message was sent. And we all saw at the end of the season that Ali responded to his text, but Johnny may never know that because he threw his phone into the ocean. This leads me to believe that they also offered Elizabeth Shue a guest spot or perhaps a guest spot with the possibility of becoming a regular. I do not think Elizabeth Shue turned down the guest Spot for the same reasons as Chad McQueen turned it down. Because he is camera shy. I think Elizabeth Shue turned it down because her ego of that she was at one time an established Hollywood movie star, possibly thinking she is above doing a streaming tv series but she is set to start appearing in a new Amazon Prime show produced by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen show called "The Boys". So it's probably the fact that she has made her negative comments made toward the Karate Kid movie, especially Ralph Macchio not being covincing in the role, who she said she could not take seriously in that role of Daniel. I think she dug a hole for herself. Like if she was to come back then she would look like she was desperate for work. But!!!!! Like Chad McQueen's character, Dutch being in jail and having a back door into the series if he decides to do business, The response from Ali on Johnnys phone at the last scene of season 2, is also leaving Elizabeth Shue a back door into the show if she should decide to put her ego aside and return to the show eventually. Anywho

      Speaking only about the characters, not their actors, I don't want Johnny and Ali together. I love Carmen and she is very, very good for Johnny. Also, Johnny already loves Miguel like a son, and there is potential for Miguel and Robby to mend their relationship and become brothers. If Ali makes an appearance, I hope it is not as a love interest for either Johnny or Daniel.
