Cobra Kai proves this guy has range as an actor. It's sad he was typecast as a bully in his prime. Well, it's never too late to achieve success!! Im glad he's getting all the success he deserves with Cobra Kai now
Can't believe they made him look like the a-hole in this movie. I do agree though his acting is above par. I just hate seeing his role as the bad guy though.
I loved this movie in the 80's. Watched it many times. I forgot William Zabka was the bully. I hated him back then. Lol Now he is so lovable in Cobra Kai. Thank you for your work William.
So Johnny Lawrence got embarrassed so hard by Daniel Larusso, that he moved to another city and high school and legally changed his name to Greg... But learned nothing and forgot Karate 😐
If Greg called Johnny a pussy he would kick his ass and then beat his friends with help from his friends. Zabka does great in this film too but in my opinion Johnny would own Greg anytime.
Zabka would be 20 years old here.I remember seeing a movie 🎦 with him in it from 1995, called,The Power ⛮ Within, he was about 30 years old. And. naturally, he was a villain in this movie as well!!

That's one that I never understood why William was always cast as the bully for films he was never cast as any other type of character even though he has a lot of talent. You know it's just like the actor who played Mini-Me before he died he was talking about the exact same thing how he was only casted for characters that required small people that he was never casted as any other part except for that. You know it's just like with Chris Farley he was always casted as characters who were overweight and who were high out of their mind and you wonder why Chris Farley died from an overdose. Anybody is capable of playing any character but the fact that we just label People based on characters they played in the past that's pretty degrading on the actor and actress it can really f****** your self-esteem
It's called typecasting and it's always been a problem in the industry, especially once a performer is known as a certain character. Some performers are lucky and are able to break out of the typecasting and get other kinds of roles while some have a harder time of it. Before his death, Robin Williams had trouble being recognized as a serious actor as well as a comedic actor until "Good Will Hunting" even though he did do some serious movies before that. Jim Carrey also did at least serious movies that I'm aware of which I have seen 2 of and still have to see the third. I enjoyed the two serious movies I saw and thought he was really good in them, but they bombed in the theater (most likely because people expected a comedy instead of a drama). I think part of the problem with typecasting is the general public because for a lot of people; when they see a performer's name on the cast list, they presume the movie is a certain genre. Take Dwayne Johnson for example. If someone sees his name on the cast list and doesn't know much else about the movie (I know that's less likely now than in the 1990s or earlier because most people have some kind of internet access even if it's just on their phones), are they more likely to think of it being an action movie or a comedy where he has to be a tooth fairy or a comedy where he's taking care of a kid and does ballet?
@@Actrs12B When you get typecast in a certain type of role its probably a good idea to take a risk on a smaller movie that will help people see you in a new light. Even if that role doesn't pay as much as the typecasted role. Sometimes you just have to bet on yourself and do the thing that's a better long term decision..
@@joemckim1183, I agree with you and I have always disliked that typecasting was a thing because I think a lot of performers would rather be known as a versatile actor rather than a specific type of character. I have had a fascination with the entertainment industry since I was a kid so I started researching it when I was in 5th grade (in the mid 1980s). Even though I don't like that typecasting exists, I admit that I've had times myself where I saw a name on the cast list and presumed it was a certain type of movie. That happened when "Showgirls" came out. The only thing I knew about it was Elizabeth Berkeley was in it. Since I was only familiar with her from "Saved by the Bell" and I knew the term showgirl basically meant someone who performed in musicals, I thought the movie was going to be something along the lines of "A Chorus Line". Lol
@@Actrs12B Well that was Berkley's attempt at breaking out of type casting but she did such a bad job of acting she actually proved why typecasting was a thing.
During the final fight scene in Karate Kid between Johnny & Daniel, Billy's mum was an extra as one of the audiences. She cried for real when the other extras had to booed him after he's supposed to play dirty against Ralph/Daniel. She also tried to convince other extras that Billy is actually a good boy & not a bully.
I think I read something online where he was also supposed to be the bully in Better Off Dead (the guy that ski'd against John Cusack), but he had a conflict, which may have actually been this movie iirc.
Its crazy how billy was like 20 years old in this, literally the same age as me and he was already in his prime, meanwhile I still havent even figured my life out yet😅
Her name is Joyce Hyser and in this movie she's disguised as a boy. The name of this movie is "Just One of the Guys". I agree, she does look like Ralph Macchio.
I've been calling people chump stains since I heard it in this movie. Strange thing about memory, I knew it was from an 80s high school flick, but was certain it was Craig Scheffer who said it.
@@mitchellcohen3444 Perhaps it was like the 2016 presidential election, when many people told public opinion pollsters that they 'disapproved' of Trump (who was being dragged by the press) but voted for him anyway in the privacy of the voting booth.

There was an episode of How I met your mother that explained what William Zabka's life has been like in public after playing bullies.
@@OscarMPG1 yeah saw that. Funny as hell. Poor guy gets booed by his own mom in that episode 😂
Can't believe they made him look like the a-hole in this movie. I do agree though his acting is above par. I just hate seeing his role as the bad guy though.
This character seems no different to Johnny Lawrence tbh
Also in Cobra Kai, Johnny has become the most balanced fighter of the OGs (probably second to Chozen)
This is an 80’s underrated classic.
This movie and Three O'clock High
again wwith that word lol
William Zabka: In the 80s, I was a bad guy in every movie.
Somehow, there was always popcorn
Lmao

LOL
But imo bad guys is the BEST guys 😏😋👌
not in karate kid. daniel stole his girl
greg is literally hilarious bro the way he puts the spaghetti on the dudes shoulder and "no i wanna buy him an ice cream" 😭😂
He was even a Johnny Character in the movie.
Billy Zabka, the best in this kind of role in movie history! We need him today more than ever!!
Johnny couldn't beat a Kid in 84 so now he picked on a female boy lol

He just beats up people in the whole scenes lmfao

I loved this movie in the 80's. Watched it many times. I forgot William Zabka was the bully. I hated him back then. Lol
Now he is so lovable in Cobra Kai. Thank you for your work William.
I wonder if they had him in this because the woman looked like Daniel from Karate kid
Yeah, maybe. Sandy said Terry looks like Karate Kid. Zabka is playing a bully like he did in KK. What other KK references are there in this movie?
Early meta reference
@@alvexok5523 Why were there so many Blonde Villains in the 80’s *like* Karate-Kid,Stand By Me,Rocky 4,BTTF.
I said the same thing. As she crossdressed and the voice heck yeah she does.
Thats what I always wondered with the Cheryl Fenn Karate Kid reference and the look on Terri.
So Johnny Lawrence got embarrassed so hard by Daniel Larusso, that he moved to another city and high school and legally changed his name to Greg... But learned nothing and forgot Karate 😐
And then he moved back to All Valley, got his identity back and became a depressed drunk, leading the events of Cobra Kai.
Omg xddd
@@kjdee140 Then a year later he joined the swimming team and lost.
Also, apparently he found another Daniel LaRusso.
I love that someone made a Greg Tolan compilation. Everybody loves Johnny Cobra, Tolan should get more credit.

One of my favorite movies as a kid in the 80s. Buddy was a trip 😂

The quintessential 80's villian, bad boy, bully.

he did other stuff where he was not the bully. There are clips on the youtubes.
As much as a nice guy Billy Zabka is in real life it is a shame that the majority of his career was always based on being typecast as bullies.
Go watch RUclips video of him in How I Met Your Mother. He talks about it on the show cause he plays himself.
Only cause he suited it 🤣nowadays its hard to find a kid that looks like a bully cause most of em look like geeks

from this version he wins the movie

Better the back than the front.

From a badass to a Jabroni in Cobra Kai Season 5. He was the most beaten up guy in Season 5
Greg needs to thank sensei lawrence for all the recognition that he is getting now
3:38 I can’t he’s so cute 😮💨😭
4:57 thus was so precious bro i so wanna meet him
So Johnny was bullied after karate kid 1 and 3
tbh, she looks more like an adult make than larusso did when he was 30. she has the same fake deep voice too
Billy:no I wanna buy him an ice cream 😂😂
When sandy says about Terry: " Dresses like Elvis Costello looks like the Karate Kid'
I wonder who she thought Greg Tolan looks like. 😆
“Where’d you guys learn to fight?!” 😂
I guess Johnny didn’t learn, when Daniel taught him a lesson after in the all valley tournament.

What kind of gloves are thoses? that actor sounds like young Dainel Larusso.

Why did they make him looks like Daniel Larusso?
