What a nice guy and notice how he deals with the question coherently. Not many actors are this articulate. Can't wait for S3.
Ralph has so much class, after all the bad things Shue said about him, he still talks about her with respect.
Que dijo ella sobre él?...
@@juanjulioromancampos9814Ella dijo que era un mal atleta y un actor mediocre
@@liamk1610 no creo que un colega se expresé así,talvez solo se quiso hacer la graciosa.
@@juanjulioromancampos9814 Yeah, I agree. I think she was just joking.
(Lo siento. Solamente estudio español para dos años. That's all i got, lol)
What did she say?
Like many teenaged boys from my generation, I looked at Elizabeth Shue like teenaged girls looked at Tom Cruise.
They made a movie together named cocktail
Like what? That she was gay?
Funny. No, with teenage lust.
Yup, she was and still is hot.
Huuuuge titties
Ralph is such a classy guy. Saw him on the lower east side few years back and talked with us for 10 mins.
Thats awesome, Ryan! I would be nervous to talk.
I still have a crush on Elizabeth Shue!!!
Drew Dahlen She is still fine. She aged like fine wine. I’ve seen her up close. Holy ish!! 😍
whaaaa you LUCKY mutha..consider me jealous and yes I totally agree,very fine wine!LOL!@@coreylucas5346
Me too dude
Don't we all @@@nunyabsness4005
@@drewdahlen9660 Glad no one see me pitch a tent. Also I met Haley Joel Osment there at the premiere as well. I GOT TO MEET SORA. (squees)
And nearly 30 years later, Ralph REALLY looks like, and has the same tone of voice as his "Cousin Vinnie", Joe Pesci.
I shot the clerk?
Total Guido
He was already 30 when my cousin vinny came out but looked like 20.
That's because he's no longer a yout.
@@xczechr lol
She was so dreamy in Adventures in Babysitting.
they made jonah hill unwillingly made sorta remake (the sitter 2011)
I still got crush on her 😩😭💯
She was great in that film. It was so funny
IMO she looks the best as the sheriff in Piranha3D. Google it. Shes extremely presently hot
Great movie
More so than the fact that he has aged pretty damn well. His voice hasn't changed a bit.
No he sounded like a 10 year old in karate kid
@Adelaine Delabin I noticed the same thing. He had a deeper voice in the KK movies.
William Zabka as well but his Cobra Kai teammates.....not so much.
He has class. She appeared disrespectful towards RM, stating that she didnt't believe he could play the part. Thing is, that's why he was given the part, so the audience would believe it too. He pulled it of masterfully.
i know I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream new movies online ?
He said somes nice things about Bill Buckner as well.
Personally I don’t think she was being disrespectful…I think it was more just her first impressions of him (perhaps physically?) ….something we as humans all make and do. If you said karate, kung fu etc etc especially back in the 1980s most people pictured of muscle bound/athletic tough guys…not skinny young looking guys.
There are a lot more bi*chy actresses (and actors) out there than Ms Shue
She wasn’t disrespectful at all.
She didn't disrespect him or question his acting skill. She doubted he had the physicality to portray karate skills. Shue is considered one of the nicest people in Hollywood.
She did Adventures in Babysitting, and Back to the Future 2 & 3 before Leaving Vegas, which was a masterpiece.
Don't forget cocktail
She should have won the Oscar for that performance
Amazing guy. Still my childhood hero.
Wow such a great story I don’t think my life would be complete without hearing this story
Having Ali return would be so freaking amazing I can't even! I'd also like to find out if Kumiko's dream to become a dancer was realized. Even if it never shows her, it'd be nice if they could just have a line of dialogue where she is mentioned, and where we find out what happened to her. I believe in the third movie Daniel mentions that Kumiko was attending a dance school back east, but that doesn't guarantee that she succeeded in her dream.
🥺 all this happened
I'll say this, Elizabeth Shue is an amazing actress. Should would definitely bring more viewers to Cobra Kai.
Always hated the way they wrote Elizabeth Shue out of KK2. Totally inconsistent with the character established in KK1.
I agree but they had no idea it would become a cult classic decades later.
I still got crush on her 🤦🏽♂️😩💯
Cobra Kai pretty much retcons everything outside the first film anyways
Jeff Boxing huh?? In what way?
Arvin Borkar That’s not really retconning the entire first movie though. I think it maybe tries to summarize in a 10 second clip what they’re saying he went through immediately after the events of the first movie (which even though he’s seen handing Daniel the trophy and seemingly changing his ways, he may have become bitter in the weeks and months that followed). I don’t think changing that one minor detail is akin to retconning the entire movie.
Ralph is nice to her. Seems like every time Shue is asked about Macchio, she takes these underhanded digs at him.
Yes. I saw an interview with Shue wherein she said she was better at soccer (when he was teaching her how to dribble) and was surprised he was picked for the part.
Maybe he rejected her in the past or sth
Way more likely she rejected him, and she feels like that's why she was written off.
I thought the exact same thing. I got the sense that Ralph was not part of the “cool kids club” back then. It was everyone else hanging out together, and Ralph. It sounds like Zabka and Ralph are now friends, but I don’t think it was always the case. Just my take. 🤷🏻
Cain Abel Yeah, I think you had basically the John Hughes gang, and all the guys who was in The Outsiders.
The cool kids were Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Michael J Fox, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Johnny Depp, Christian Slater, Molly Ringwald, Diane Lane, Winona Ryder, Elisabeth Shue,......Im sure there’s others.
But Ralph played the handsome, but built like a little boy, character. I think that’s pretty close to what he was in real life. He also hasn’t had much success in Hollywood outside of KK.
Just my theory, but it comes across to me like Shue is still caught up in judging people based on their status in Hollywood. I can guarantee she would never say anything negative about Tom Cruise.
I e been in love with Elizabeth Shue since her Call to Glory days.
I was 15 years old in 1984.When I saw Elisabeth Shue in Karate Kid I was in love.
And you actually spelled her name right, unlike the people who posted this video.
I was 2
How old is you now
I’m 17 right now and I got I still got crush on her 😩🤦🏽♂️💯 I wish she was my age again
I'm 33 yrs old...now...feel the same way.
Elizabeth Shue did an interview long ago in which she said there were a lot of bad vibes on the set of the Karate Kid. So I wasn't surprised she didn't return on the sequel.
She was mostly part of it. It is not a secret that she has a reputation to be a diva. Even while production of Cobra Kai was going on she was dissing Ralph and Billy.
@@rumblefish9
In what way? I haven't heard anything about that.
@@Doamino41 Because it never happened
@@HectorFontanez don’t know if she was a diva in general but she did an interview in 1987 promoting Adventures in Babysitting and said Karate Kid was a bad experience and nobody cared for what they are doing
@@johnsmith651 I don't question she had a bad experience. Maybe the bad experience surfaced once her character was wrote off. Who knows? BUT, if that was the case and if what Ralph Maccio said was true, why would she ask him about why they wrote her character off that way? She should've been relieved. I saw an interview with her before her return in Cobra Kai where he joked about she could've kicked Daniel LaRusso's ass. But she also said everything was cool. So... I don't know.
When you realize the dude you been crushing on is as old as your own dad😭😭😂
in this case he’s OLDER than my dad
@@idontcare784 same ralph is older than my dad and my mom lol
@Deplorable Cat I agree :3
The girl 😂💯
Who has a crush on Ralph Machio?? 😂
What a classy guy! I'm psyched that they've brought back so many of the original cast.
Damn...what a mind blowing life altering Elizabeth Shue story!!
Yeah I remember being pissed of that Ali had been written out like that. I didn’t even feel that it fitted her character that she would run off with the college jock. Hope they bring her back for season 3. Cobra Kai has been awesome thus far.
Elizabeth didn’t want Ralph for the movie!! That’s why!! She was upset that Tom Cruise turned the part down and she was a snob on the set and many people have said it.😒😒
Tom Cruise would’ve made a horrible Karate Kid.....way too intense
@JimboParadox: all to a really cool action sound track.
I saw Elizabeth Shue actually saying that she thought Ralph looked too young for the part, and the funny thing was I thought Ralph was perfect for his part but I always thought Elizabeth Shue looked too old to be in high school.
@@lindakelly9552 ikrrr
@@lindakelly9552 You are right. Young kids in the 80s wouldn't have connected to the movie as much if TC played the part. Having a younger RM really helped. So glad TC rejected the role. One man's loss is the whole world's gain.
How ironic that Elizabeth Shue lost out on the Karate Kid sequel but then scored the Jennifer Parker role in the Back to the Future sequels when Claudia Wells decided not to return. Life has a way of working itself out!
She literally had maybe 90 seconds of screen time in back to the future 3
that was not, by any means, a great Elizabeth Shue story.
Unless great doesn't mean what it used to
I don't mind hearing the story but no, not great.
yeah. I ran into her at a ball game 30 years and she asked me why i was written off
Click Bait
Yeah bad way to not tell the “great” story 🤪😏😉
Nice! You got Ralph to come to the Collider studio!
Elizabeth shue was my first crush still hot
How is he responsible for that decision? He was just an actor not a director.
Same here 🤦🏽♂️😩💯 I wish she was my age again 17
He’s 57 and still hasn’t reached puberty.
The Plane Truth His voice hasn't anyway
He's gonna be 60 next year.
Look who I found
such a nice guy. Shue just sits in interviews and throws shade on him. Really makes her look childish.
I met Ms. Shue at the Boys Premiere, I had hurry to see her. I told her she was this black boys “sexual awakening” when I was a teen. Her reaction was that she laughed so hard and was easily flattered. I did take a picture of her with me. I was shaking. She was so gorgeous up close.
Can u post the pic?
Haha, are you being serious right now? Lol, that's f****** hilarious.
@@dallasbagley All True.
@@jfearless3420 I have it on my iPhone. Just don't know where.
@@dallasbagley My second Awakening is Dana Delany. My Lois Lane.
Now I'm going to have Elizabeth shue, running through my dreams
...again.
Buckner didn’t miss that ball! His lace on his glove broke and it went right through, crazy!
Sure, Jan.
RALPH is a class act! Way underrated as an actor! Elizabeth wanted Tom Cruise...what a mistake that would have been. Ralph got the last laugh on her.
such a silly comment
That would of been so bad glad they choose Ralph he is perfect
Tom Cruise would have been more believable.
He looks good for 57 years old . ALMOST 60
They have to bring Ali back and give more back story to the breakup. It just didn’t make sense.
It was kind of sloppily thrown in the beginning of KK2. However, she did wreck Daniel’s beloved car and meet an older college guy. That shit happens at the age. Some ppl (especially beautiful girls) tend to be fickle in their teen relationships. Plus Daniel was a hothead with temper problems (ie he suckerpunched Johnny and doused him w/a hose unprovoked after things already calmed down) so he may have really flipped on her
Fred Gorgenchuck I’ll have to watch KK 2 again. I don’t remember that part about Ali wrecking Daniel’s car. Good analysis on the fickleness of the teenage years.
@@pts5217 In the show, Ali could easily come back with her defense and say that Daniel was getting overly jealous and she got tired of it or something.
Watch Cobra Kai season 3
@@nuwanwell6199 For me, the episodes with Ali were the best parts of season 3. They did a such a great job bringing closure to her relationships with Johnny and Daniel. As much as I’d like to see more of her, I think it’d be best to leave her story as is. I’d be worried that if they bring her back for more , it would lessen an already great ending to her story line.
Love Elizabeth Shue. She is so lovely.
Ali: “You’re still doing karate?”
Daniel: “Uhhhhh...”
I'm born and raised in Boston, and I just found out she's a Red Sox fan too! Oh my God she just climbed even higher on the all-time crush list
She must come back for season 3 for cobra Kai!
SpaceReborn “Alli has accepted your friend request”
Mike Geiler I know but it could turn out to be a different actor instead of her
@@RemonMM at this point, it would be complete blasphemy to not bring back Elizabeth to play Ali...can you imagine the shitstorm that would follow if they didn't bring her back? Man oh man......
@@mikegeiler2347 no its meant for Johnny to accept Ali's friend request
I’m going to assume she’s coming back but I wonder in what capacity. She’s married and a highly successful physician. Is she going to throw that all away for a romance with with Johnny or Daniel. Plus she lives in Denver. How is she going to be in LA for any substantial period of time. My only guess is that she’ll come back for a couple of episodes just to wrap up loose ends sort of like Daniel’s mom returned for 2 episodes. The relationship will be platonic only.
Thanks for the proper discussion about Bill Buckner.
Elizabeth shue is a knock out in Cocktail
Elizabeth should definitely be on next season but they also have to get Dragon Chan, Terry Silver, and Mike Barnes!
I'm thinking they're trying to forget Karate Kid 3
Mike Barnes for sure, maybe even Chozen
I love this interview. Great job guys. 💯💯💯💯💯
That would be awesome to bring Elizabeth Back!!!!!❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
Please guys make it happen, not just a cameo. Something meaningful. A few more episodes would be a nice too.
Amazing show!
Always had a crush on Elizabeth Shue!
I believe it's spelled Shoe.
you believe wrong
OK COOL MY DAD WCHED THIS WHEN HE WAS A KID
Like Shue should talk. She replaced a girl on Back 2 the Future and she wasn't even a new character. They swapped out the old girl for Shue.
The old girl quit. She was not swapped out.
Woody Harrelson introduced her to me as "Beth". Talked with her for 15 minutes until he introduced her to another actor, as "Elizabeth Shue". That made me do a double take!
Ali Mills in *The Karate Kid*
Jennifer Parker in *Back To The Future*
Pregnant woman #21 in *City Of Angels*
come on! she's great!
Pretty uneventful story.
If my eyes were closed I’d of sworn I’m listening to a slightly higher pitched Joe Pecsi
i was thinking the same, what happened to his voice? well being married last long as he is, let's look at the wife? LOL
She bad mouthed her fellow performers so what does she expect.
And then they got her for season 3 of cobra Kai with that Netflix money!
Little did he know that in afew months he was gonna work with her in cobra Kai !!!!
His voice was deeper when he was 15!
Same with Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day.
"Great" Elizabeth Shue story.....
So that's the bar, eh folks?
Ralph was incredible in The Outsiders. Did you dummies ask him about working with Francis Coppola, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillon etc?
Is he on helium?
Spoiler
And they redeem her character.
Ralph looks great
Elizabeth had pure girl-next-door sex appeal.
I never cared for any if the other karate kid movies sorry!! Not having Elisabeth on the second movie WAS TOTALLY STUPID!!!! GOD!! IAM STILL PISSED OFF ABOUT IT!!!😂😂😂😂😂
Hey guys .... you have a severe audio problem , you have a build up of 200 or 250 hz in your room which is why most low budget pidcasters use sm7's. If you continue to use the mics you have, you have to put an eq on your master bus in your DAW and just scoop out 3 db somewhere between 200 and 250 ... its bot magic .
Youre welcome and great interviews
Why give this bully any air time?
elizabeth shue was beautiful is beautiful i love her so pretty
DAMN! He still looks so young. He looks 34 or 35. If you didn't know this person, and he said he was 34 or 35, for instance.... NOBODY would doubt it.
@Gregg Burke Woa... That blows my mind. I love age-related facts like that. He's 59... He's also probably older than Mr. Drummond, too. HAHA.
@Gregg Burke BTW... I thought you were being funny. I really thought you were goofing. 59. Oh, yea sure. I hit Wikipedia to see wtf really is his actual age. Holy shit. He really is 60. That's INSANE!!!
He looks stunning for his age.
I love Ralph and he looks great but his voice is unrecogniseable
Why does this video and all the comments have Elizabeth, when it's really Elisabeth? Maybe that's what pissed her off: "Nobody spells my name right, no matter how many times I tell them and show them!"
Elisabeth shue is still beautiful she is like a charlie’s angel 😍
A Farrah Fawcett
I love Ralph Macchio. Why did his voice seem deeper when he was younger than it is now? Is the deep voice and put on for the movie?
Crossroads is my 2nd favorite Macchio movie...
They had to end the relationship so that Daniel could have a romantic interest in Japan, simple as that. And it had to keep everyone thinking of Daniel as the "good guy".
Elizabeth did awesone in "The Boys".
If combine her absence from the Karate Kid sequels with her contribution to Back to the Future sequels... you’ve got a complete Shue trilogy 😋
It's Elisabeth. How can you not spell people's names right?
Dude needs to get a better dead rodent sewn on his head.....that hairpiece is horrible
well shes come back
Just binge watched Season 3. The entire original cast has drank from the fountain of youth. Hard to believe Ralph, Billy and Elizabeth are pushing 60 and Martin Kove is in his mid-70s.
Just drink a lot of water and don't smoke
Why did Indiana Jones not use Marion Ravenwood in either sequel in the '80s? Sometimes movies want to explore a new relationship rather than repeat what they've done before.
Who’s Judy? I’m confused by that statement
I hope she lets any hard feelings go and comes in for season 3.
I shot the clerk? I shot the clerk?!
They need to bring ali back!!! MAKE THIS HAPPEN❤❤
I always felt like that was such a strange character write off. She ran off with some jock?! That didn't seem like her at all, if I were Ali with an "I" I think I would have felt the same way. They could have her going off to school abroad and the long distance wouldn't work..something other than what they wrote. Johnny may have been a flawed character but there was depth beneath the surface.
She decided to quit and leave filming the karate kid so then they only had a small amount of time to make up for her absence
He dose not look the same
God I had the biggest crush on Elizabeth Shue growing up.
Still waiting for the great part of the story
She is bitter and a diva and her ego got checked when she wasn't asked back... Soon she will make a me too movement to rewrite kk2 🤣🤣🤣
What was so great about that story?
They can't make the episodes fast enough the show is such a wild hit. They might actually need a movie.
he has to be pushing 60 - he looks like he's 35
Fountain of youth!!
59
He looks absolutely stunning for his age.
I've had a crush on Ralph Macchio since I was like 10, 11 years old. I'm 51 now. 😊 Ralph will always be my crush. ❤
I've always found it wildly odd that in this town an actor can work with another actor, create magic and then never speak again for any reason. Its bizarre to me...
Thats Hollywood.
True but in the end it is a job and they are co-workers. Think of some people you were close too at one of your first jobs and see if you still keep in touch with them.
Elisabeth Shue is a beautiful woman! I love it to see her.... 😍😍😍
Marc Jordan she has an amazing smile !!!
Chris W Yes!! She is still beautiful!!
He's still incredibly fine!
Elizabeth Shue was probably 70% of why I watched Karate Kid 2 in the first place. What a disappointment to see that she wasn't a part of it.
Kumiko was better and prettier.
I can’t believe Elizabeth Shue, is still bitter about not being in the Karate Kid sequels, after all these years. Ralph Thales about her here in ‘86, but she’s still talking about it today. She say’s she would have been way better than Ralph at karate, if she was trained, and is a much better soccer player. I’m sure she thinks she’s a much better actress too, but that’s not why she didn’t get chosen for the sequels. Either she’s playing everyone, or she’s really jealous of Ralph Macchio.
