Before Ralph Macchio was all wax on, wax off for Karate Kid, he was all bend to the left, bend to the right for Bubble Yum. He looks the same now as he did when he was 17 in that 1980 commercial.
Netflix released a teaser for Cobra Kai’s 5th season, and it is going to be hot, hot, hot. That is because Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith), who is building Cobra Kai Dojos all of the San Fernando Valley, says he is fire. And Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), who is Danny LaRusso’s (Ralph Macchio) archnemesis turned compatriot, says he is gasoline.
The two rivals are going to go head-to-head, and only one of them will be victorious. Will it be the good guys or the villains? With this series, you never know because we have wound up rooting for the bad ones when they went good.
And that is just one of the many reasons why we love the Karate Kid sequel so much. So mark your calendars because season 5 starts streaming on September 9th.
And my prediction is that the season is going to end in a blaze of glory. As in their final fight will lead to a fire burning down what was Johnny Lawrence’s (Billy Zabka) original Cobra Kai. Burn baby, burn.
For almost 40 years, Ralph Macchio is as known for playing Daniel Larusso as he is as ownself. Therefore, the actor is releasing a memoir called Waxing On: The Karate Kid and Me on October 18th.
Macchio, who wrote the autobiography while filming Cobra Kai, told People, “It was quite an emotional journey diving into the memories and experiences of getting the role and the making of the original film; my relationships with the extraordinary filmmakers and castmates. The magic of Mr. Miyagi.”
It should be a thrilling read, and he talks about the role that he just can’t escape in a good way. Too bad he is not talking about his other projects like The Outsiders, Crossroads, and My Cousin Vinny, to name a few.
Cobra Kai is back for its fourth season on New Year’s Eve, and we are going to be drinking long before the ball goes down at midnight. That is because this is going to be an intense season, and we will spend the day binging it.
This season we are going to see Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (Billy Zabka) end their rivalry to take down Cobra Kai. How long can the two enemies get along?
Then again, they have a common enemy in Kreese (Martin Kove), who is teaming up with Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith). Is that going to keep LaRence motivated to work together peacefully so that they can destroy their arch-nemesis in the All-Valley Karate Tournament?
If that is not enough, there are still their students who have to compete? There is going to be a lot of chops, but will there be peace? Highly unlikely, and that is why we can’t stop watching and loving this show.
We are still three months away from New Year’s Eve, and we just got plans for the night. Instead of going out, we can Netflix & Chill with the fourth season of Cobra Kai.
Get ready for Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (Billy Zabka) working together to take down Kreese (Martin Kove) at All-Valley. It is not going to be easy for the former rivals, but the two enemies have to work together to beat their biggest and common enemy.
I am here to watch this all go down because I have been waiting since Karate Kid to see Johnny and Daniel become a team. If Yang and Yang can become one, so can these two.
