Ralph Macchio & William Zabka & Martin Kove! - The Karate Kid Q&A

[@rocalvo6588]

Martin Kove seems like the chillest guy ever. Love his overall aura and the absolutely hilarious gestures he keeps doing :)

[@triciajohansen3027]

Still hunky at 76 years of age!!!! I remember him on "Cagney and Lacey", cocky on the show (his character). But Martin Cove is AWESOME!!!!! Much love!!!❤❤❤❤

[@scottzappa9314]

Seems much cooler and more likeable than his character, LOL

[@chemistryset1]

35:03 - a little kid asks 'where's Mr Myagi' :'( Ralph's response is as good as you could hope for off the cuff ..

Martin Kove has always been a great guy to both his family and his friends. I wonder if it was difficult for him to play the villain in Karate Kid? I am glad he was allowed to redeem his character "Kreese" towards the end of Cobra Kai season 4.

No. He always a villain. Pays the bills n for the mansions n lambos. He's happy

Ralph's voice seems to be higher/thinner now compared to when he was in the Karate Kid films. Most men's voices seem to get deeper if anything. Just an interesting (to me) observation.

Great questions. Great interview. They answer these questions with such precision & accuracy. It's almost as though it was rehearsed.

[@TalkingHands308]

16:53 Wow, what a great story from William Zabka, and his father was a wise man. He's 100% right and his results were the proof of it. The only way to stop bullies in their tracks is to stand up for yourself. I found this out as well when I was growing up. All of this "sensitivity training" and whatever nonsense you hear about now is all crap. You can't just "expect" others to not do bad things. The only way to get out of it is to do something about it yourself...

[@davidheard709]

Five years after watching the Karate Kid I was taking martial art classes known as the 3- System Martial Arts. Frankly, learning karate through three different fighting systems, and quite an engaging experience.

[@Nethanel773]

37:20 Billy Zabka's answer right there. So prescient to the has-been, surly, present-day John Lawrence and his dojo of misfits. The Bad News Bears is an underrated classic. Watch it, and you'll see some of that coming through in the revived Cobra Kai dojo. The new series is excellent with some great acting and characters struggling with their personal issues that aren't always so black and white. And you find yourself rooting for the John Lawrence struggling to rise above the bully in him. Thanks for putting up.

[@juandenz2008]

I guess it must be tiring doing these conventions when you get asked the same questions over and over. Still they answered them patiently. Amazing how many people were inspired to learn Karate by the movie. I wonder if they had been approached to make Cobra Kai when they did this convention ?

[@AidenLS]

This is like a time capsule because these people were interviewed before Cobra Kai had its release. I think hearing about people who loved it before the show was released shows there were a lot of people holding onto the memories in the movie and its why it is so popular. everyone wants to be better and the writing does a good job letting you feel that way.

We took a bus there and back at about age 12 or 13 and it was quite a trip too . Popcorn and a soda , and of course I probably smoked ... Wtf !

[@yoda908]

I love how everyone was a family working on the film together. Even during the casting of the characters. Martin looks like he's like the type to say cut if needed for an important reason for something he noticed, and the director is perfectly ok with it. He really only looks tough but nice to know he's actually pretty nice in real life. In a strange way it makes his return in Cobra Kai season 1 more impactful when the characters talk about him changing his ways. I do want to know more on how the yellow car went from Krees's bully hands to Myagi. There's something I must've missed in Cobra Kai. I'm just glad Mr. Myagi got a tribute in Cobra Kai.

It would be perfect timing for them to continue with another movie we have a new RoboCop sequel a new Terminator trilogy with James Cameron and we have Top Gun 2 with a bunch of other films a new Halloween sequel including Hellraiser and Creed 2 .... etc This is my idea if they made another film I'd love to see a reunion between Allie and Daniel maybe Allie is in trouble some family crisis that Daniel hears about and he comes to the rescue with Johnnie as they have been friends ever since the tournament.
