He’s actually pushing 60
Edit: he is 60, as of Nov 4.
That said, he looked goofy in the Karate garb even at 22 when he filmed the original.
Wow, he looks damn good for almost 60!
He does. I thought he was in his early 50s. I looked it up and saw 60 and I’m like pretty good. Johnny is 4 years younger but he looks a bit older than Ralph.
Amazing to think that the original Karate Kid movie is pushing 40 years old. Damn, where does time go? LOL!
Yea was just a kid back then. Think I saw the third one in the theater with my cousin.
Where does the time go? I’d say to the hairline and the midsection 😂.
Machio looked 15 in My Cousin Vinnie. The guy has had a very good career. Long stabile marriage and family life who lives on Long Island. What cracks me up is we have a bunch of board posters criticizing . We all over 50 years of age need to take a good look in the mirror. Walk around SHI stadium or Jersey Mikes Arena it’s scary sometimes the condition of some.
Haven't seen this reboot...but, how is the Dr. Smith character?...still conniving like the original male version?
I just started watching season 1 and she is a conniving type. Haven’t seen the original but do know the doctor character was a bad guy and she definitely falls into that category through a few episodes.
I do get the feel they may be setting her up to be a sympathetic character at times but conniving nonetheless.
No one will ever duplicate the character of Dr. Zachary Smith so we’ll played by the late Johnathan Harris. Such a fine actor especially in this part .
I waited a long time for the new season of L I S… For me it’s gone off the rails, can’t even watch.
Less is more,
Less is more,
Sorry to say I really liked the first two seasons but season three has lost me.
In other shows, the new season of Dexter, Dexter New Blood has been absolutely great imho. One more episode to go.
I hope someone at WM/Disc dusts off Warrior and gives us at least one more season with closure.
Did Ralph Macchio ever lift weights in his life? He still has the same exact same build he had in the Karate Kid Movies.
I haven’t seen this series yet
Is Terry Silver in it? My favorite character from the KK flicks.

I guess you can see what you want to see.
They do poke fun at wokeness, while at the same time poking fun at Johnny’s clueless toxic masculinity (eating Manwich because he wants a manly dinner).
I watched a lot of it yesterday. My 20 year old said it has plot lines and production quality of a Nickelodeon show from the early 2000s. I’d have to agree. I think it’s so corny it’s good, but he was not convinced.
I think the comparisons here to Saved by the Bell are accurate.
I liked Clickbait. Another decadent guilty pleasure. Give it a shot..
He just got introduced this season. I’ve only watched episode 1 of season 4 and he appeared already.
I think maybe you have to be a certain age and seen the originals to appreciate it. Although surprisingly to me, a relative’s son who is a teenager likes it.
Both of my daughters love it at 17 and 15, but they watched the original KK. And they’re aided by the flashbacks of KK 3, because they had no idea who Terry Silver was
He has made quite a bit of money looking like that so pumping iron wasn’t a necessity.
I had no idea either. That trilogy jumped the shark after the first one.
You’d figure an Italian guy from Long Island would’ve at least seen the inside of a gym once, lol.
Yes… an actual real martial arts guy who is very accomplished in many areas .The caveat is at the end of season 4 with the surprise being an old nemesis of Daniel son.
Looking at Machio as a youngster he was bone skinny perhaps 140 lbs. and probably 5’10” in height . Grew up and played with many kids of Italian descent in Essex County . Many played sports and did lift weights but just as many did nothing at all. Belleville, Nutley, Bloomfield , Newark Barringer loaded with some very talented Italian athletes.
I don’t think I’ve seen any of the second two movies and I’ve only see the first one in bits and pieces flipping around the channels.
This helped provide some good context.
The Complete History of New ‘Cobra Kai’ Villain Terry Silver
He's one of the oldest—and most formidable—foes in the entire 'Karate Kid' series.
Full disclosure, I’m of Italian descent and was similar in stature to Macchio at 17 years old. I, unlike him, managed to introduce myself to the inside of a gym and have stayed with it ever since. Still going into my 50’s and will stay active as long as I possibly can.
Silver holds two black belts in real life.
Kreese has also studied martial arts in real life

Just looked up the actor who played Kreese. He was on Dancing with the Stars too. Must be a thing. He got eliminated in the first round. Guess karate doesn’t help with the dance moves haha. Johnny up next?
