Cobra Kai is coming back for another season on July 18th. But sadly, it is the Karate Kid sequel’s final one, so Netflix is going all out for the series.
The final 15 episodes will air in three parts: Part I debuts in July, Part II starts streaming on November 28, and the finale airs in 2025.
Picking up with Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, our senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai — the world championships of karate.
I don’t want this show to end, but I am happy it is going out in style.
Ralph Macchio is the original Karate Kid. Jackie Chan starred in the shitty remake that Will Smith made for his son. And now the two of them are teaming up to find the next Karate Kid.
Sony Pictures is doing a worldwide search for a Chinese or mixed-race Chinese 15 to 17-year-old who speaks perfect English to play the lead role along with the two actors. It would be helpful if he speaks some Mandarin and is skilled in some martial arts, gymnastics, dance, and/or movement. However, acting experience is not required. But you must be available between March and June to film the movie.
If this sounds like you, your son, or a boy you know in your life, then go to KarateKidCasting.com to apply.
Personally, I think it is fucked up that they didn’t wait until Cobra Kai aired its final season to announce this.
On November 4th, Ralph Macchio turned 62. However, you would never know it by looking at him. The actor looks almost the same as he did when he starred in 1984’s The Karate Kid. He just has some salt in his pepper. But other than that, he looks fabulous!
Before Ralph Macchio was all about wax on, wax off, as The Karate Kid, he was blowing bubbles with Bubble Yum! He hasn’t aged a day since he was 18 in that 1980 commercial.
Before Ralph Macchio was bullied in The Karate Kid, he was a bully in Up the Academy. He looks the same now as he did when he was 17 in that movie that came out 43 years ago today.
And when Macchio saw that on Old School 80s, he wrote to them, “🤯 thanks for letting me stick around… ain’t done yet.” And we can’t wait to see what else he got.
