"The Karate Kid's" Ralph Macchio & William Zabka & Martin Kove on Season 2 of “Cobra Kai”

[@DCMinor]

Having Johnny as the main character, and portraying him the way they do in Cobra Kai was an absolutely brilliant idea. Never thought I’d ever love Johnny lol.

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

Still a hash brown on it and send it to the internet!

[@neiljoosse8989]

William Zabka is a gem. Who knew that him and Ralph have been friends for years? This is a great series!

[@LAGrpEx]

Love him too! He’s such a man’s man. So refreshing to see.. 😉

[@theesperanzacompromisebyja9044]

It was a brilliant way to add a whole new dimension to the source material. William Zabka pulled it off nicely.

[@Ben-il3oc]

Asthma does not exist in this dojo. Lol. I’m here for eagle fang karate.

[@leanardpoon6219]

Kinda strange to see all 3 sitting and laughing together. Kove as Kreese is convincingly evil. Credit to all 3 as actors.

[@throwinshade7768]

He looks steely cold just sitting there

[@LiveINtheGood53]

OK, also I was thinking while watching this clip here, these actors are great as their resumes show it too. Ralph was in My Cousin Vinny, William in Back to School and Martin in Rambo, First Blood Part 2. All 3 were iconic and great lasting movies in their own way. Very well done!

[@serbonkers4130]

His son played the bully during the flashback scenes. Guess its in the blood how they are good playing bad guys.

[@dadoody]

He's good in all his roles. Even in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - total sheriff.

I thought this show was gonna be stupid....I was dead wrong. Great acting, great writing, AWESOME!

[@Godotlv5000]

They actually did an amazing job.

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

Indeed , They took this seriously for production and writing. didnt half arse it like many shows and that will make this show Iconic

[@paquito4147]

I can't wait for season 4. What a great show

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

Same. I was expecting them to crap on the original but they made it work. Even when they are referencing the previous Karate Kid movies, it never felt forced. It always feel earned

[@sLasHeRxXx07]

It ain’t Star Wars so it’s not crap

[@LBPreviews]

I legit can't get over how amazing they all look for their age. Especially Martin Kove. Dude's 73 but still looks kickass. Great interview.

[@chartaiwan]

you are right ..he is 73!!! WTF?? he looks 20 years younger!

[@DDumbrille]

Exactly. He's NINETEEN YEARS older than Zabka, but looks maybe half that...

[@castricv]

How tf was he 35 in the original??

I would totally smash Martin Kove!!! 🔥❤️😍💋💯

Martin Krove has such amazing facial acting... Just a slight smile or a certain look. You can just see the "evil" wheels-a-turning. He is an absolute delight to see again, such a great villian and actor 👍😀👍

And he can get it anytime!!! 🔥🔥🔥

He looks about 40 here. Even at 47 in the Sweep The Leg music video, he looked in his 30s!

[@eily_b]

To be fair he looked 15 for almost his whole adult life so I guess finally looking 30 is an improvement. :D

They aged very well, all three of them. I first saw Martin on Rambo. Karate kid one of the best franchises of the '80s is no doubt about it.

[@JohnHWelch63]

William Zabka has really become a great actor! I hope we see him do some leading roles in feature films in the future! Ralph Macchio acts exactly like he did when he was a kid. I don't mean his acting, he's a great actor too, I mean his personality and mannerisms. He hasn't changed at all. LOL

[@carlossomarriba4646]

The nostalgia of the 80s is so real in this series. The flashbacks between the series and all the movies and the soundtrack, oh Jesus the SOUNDTRACK!!!!! I’m in heaven. I want more.

To me it's surreal to see these 3 together. They sell their characters so well that I see them together in interviews expecting to see Ralph and William duke it out.

[@metallicarocks911]

You have to give credit all three of these actors... They are in their retirement age, and still love doing what they want to do, and their passion for bringing one of Netflix's best shows to life. Ralph Macchio is as youthful as ever, and plays a rich successful, but still sympathetic character. William Zabka plays such a compelling, yet troubled adult trying to right a past mistake by digging up an old demons, and redeem himself. Martin Kove masterfully plays a controlled psychopath with an unparalleled need to 'fix' his world around him, through his teachings of karate, and his past as an army soldier. The actual actors are so different from their fictional counterparts... Especially Kove, of whom has been compared to a giant teddy bear on set by his co-stars. Knowing that, it speaks volumes to the amount of talent and efforts on behalf of the production team, writers, creators, and actors. We are blessed to be around to view top notch programming, such as this. Despite Cobra Kai finally coming to a close coming in the next year, we can remain hopeful that these actors continue to relish their successes on this show, and bring us more Miyagi-verse content in the future :)

[@beeman2075]

Watching (and loving) the first two Karate Kid films in the 80's as a kid and watching Cobra Kai now in my mid forties is like revisiting an old friend you haven't seen in a few decades, but who has grown up with you quietly in the background all the while and who you embrace meeting again. I'm loving the tribute-moments to the first film in Season 1 and how well-rounded and genuine the characters feel. Kudos to the writers and actors for Season 1 being one of the best reboots I've seen. If the writing remains fresh and if the series allows Johnny to find overall redemption, for me that would make it pretty much pitch perfect.

[@adrictc88]

Willliam is like wine .. looks so much better as old 🤣🥰

Stumbled across Cobra Kai by accident. Binged watched the first two seasons. Haven't laughed so hard in a long time! Wonderfully on-point and politically incorrect. William Zabka's performance is amazing and relatable.

@@kevinpatrickcarey3741 In the Cobra Kai dojo scene in part 1 Kreese talks to Johnny eye-to-eye and Johnny only looks an inch shorter than him. In some of the shots in the final fight, Kreese looks taller.
