Elisabeth Shue Doubted Ralph Macchio Was Athletic Enough to Be the Karate Kid | Rich Eisen Show

Elizabeth Shue and Rich Eisen discuss her film career, including the revelation that she was worried her "Karate Kid" co-star Ralph Macchio would be able to play a convincing Karate expert.

[@jimrudolph2864]

I loved the movie The Karate Kid. It’s not about fancy karate moves, it’s more about the mental aspect of training karate.

[@roundtheloopandback]

its about a lads journey in confidece and his relationship with a friend, its lovely tbh

[@Elaba_]

And wax.

[@jcpenny3606]

Nah, it was definitely about fancy karate moves. The cobra kais were beating everyone else because their brand of karate were slick spectacular and athletic. Kreese didn't believe in ugly karate. His students wore the coolest uninforms, had the coolest name, and only associate with the coolest kids. Then Daniel comes along and became champion in 2 months thanks largely to Miyagi's fancy training methods.

Daniel and Johnny will become best drinking buddies after seeing this interview

Ralph Macchio was cast exactly for those obvious reasons and the fighting in the film was choreographed the way that it was to appear more realistic and not like martial arts films from the 1970's and 1980's. Just basic stuff.

[@lindanearing4710]

@@TripleRp exactly. Pat Johnson who trained everyone for the karate scenes said in an interview that of the dozens of martial arts movies he'd worked on, Kk was the only one to have used true karate and it's true purpose. Ralph went to tournaments to study them and saw that the less experienced fighters had the stiff, jerky movements that he implemented in the movie, because he was supposed to be less experienced.

It's mad how you guys feel she was jealous. I didn't pick that up at all. I think Ralph Macchio WAS a rather unconvincing Karate expert. I think that's the whole charm of the film!

Daniel-san was the perfect choice for the Karate Kid. He was kind of a wimpy teenager who developed and grew physically, mentally and spiritually through the instruction, training and friendship of Mr. Miyagi. Ralph Macchio was a great choice for that role. That's one reason the Karate Kid movies are classics that are still popular.
