- When "The Karate Kid" came out in the summer of 1984, the little movie about rival martial arts students, competing against big-budget blockbusters, became one of the highest-grossing films of the year. Ralph Macchio and his co-star William Zabka have since transferred their young rivalry into adulthood, by playing the grown-up Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence in the series "Cobra Kai," now in its sixth and final season on Netflix. For Macchio it's a return to a character that has both enriched his life and challenged it. Correspondent Lee Cowan reports.

Rest easy Pat Morita , thank you
The Karate Kid inspired me to take Karate as a kid. Cobra Kai helped to inspire me to pick it up again decades later. Now, I'm a black belt. 🙏🏽
Congratulations.
I'm 50...thanks Ralph, Billy, Martin, Yuji, Sean, Thomas, Elizabeth, Tamlyn, etc...for bringing back my childhood.
@@ME-nk2og yep!! 🥋🐍🤙🏻
I’m a 41 yr old super fan. No shame. Cobra Kai will never die 🥋🐍
Eagle Fang is better.
@@enkryptron “bite like an eagle”🦅
Really happy for Ralph, William, et al. If you haven't watched the original KK movie in a while, do it. It holds up so well. It's a genuinely great movie.
Oh yes, I remember seeing that at camp as a kid. Movies were more elusive back then. You just heard rumors about movies, which added magic to them.
"Wax on, wax off!"
My gen X heart is sooo full of joy. Love these guys. The story goes on. So inspiring. Then and now.
Rule #1: Karate for defense only
Rule #2: First learn rule #1
The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.
That’s right bc it’s actually “ defense comes in many forms “
And Ralph really is a humble guy. So is Billy. I love the polar opposite chemistry they share on cobra Kai. Translates to some great comedic moments!
Awesome job on this spot CBS Sunday Morning. And that means a lot coming from a kid who was 5 years old and turned down going to see this movie with his mom because I was playing outside with my friends. Who knew? Lol
Haven't watched Cobra Kai since season one, but great Ralph got a fresh take on Daniel (on way to the Queen's funeral I saw Martin Kove who plays Kreese eating a sandwich in the Dallas Airport. Gave him a little salute (smaller than expected)). That scene where Daniel looks up at Mr. Miyagi upon getting that vintage car for his bday and says "You're the best friend I ever had" always makes me cry; such a beautiful father-son moment. Martial arts a fun discipline too ( Ralph also good in Crossroads as a Julliard guitar student who goes with an old black harmonica player to get his soul back from the Devil a la the Robert Johnson legend. Recommended)!
I loved Crossroads!

One of me and my little sister's favorite shows of all time.
The actors still look good too.
Last season unfortunately 😢 such a fun joyride this show has been
Discovering the show was one of few good things that happened to me while we were ordered to stay home
@@blinksstayfresh2524 Cobra Kai…..it has been an honor. 🥋🐍. I like everything about it. It’s exactly what it needed to be, what it should have been, and in my opinion is one of the greatest shows. Nostalgia at its finest, rad tunes, great cast, ……Cobra Kai will never die
Classic 80s movie and yes, Cobra Kai is a good show!
Beauteous story ~ "Dad was Huge & we missed it!" 😂💜
I hope he can get his Hollywood Walk of Fame Star ✨ next year
And don’t started with Chozen. I love how they turned him into a funny guy but still a badass
I’m crossing my fingers he’ll get back with Kimiko. While we’re at it on the subject, you just stated one of the great surprises of Cobra Kai
Ralph is a legend. 💯
Great tribute at the end
Hard to believe the Karate Kid began forty years ago! During the lockdown, I never imagined being so invested in Daniel and Johnny all grown up. But now it’s my favorite streaming show ever! Sad to see Cobra Kai soon bid goodbye! But I’m scared for Ralph as Daniel teaming up with Jackie Chan’s Mr Han in that crazy KK reboot coming next summer
The fact that a movie in 1985 can still have an impact today shows how big it was back then.
I watched the first two Seasons of Cobra Kai during Covid. I don't have Netflix now so I totally forgot the series even existed. I may have to catch up. I was one month shy of turning 16 when The Karate Kid first hit the big screen. A great time to be a teenager.
During COVID, it took me over two weeks to stream the first two seasons. That’s how invested I was in it
@@robynmasters335 it is totally worth going back to finish the series, it was great when it started and Netflix took it to another level.
@6:19 you meant to say "the cinematic masterpiece, My Cousin Vinny."
Cobra Kai has gotten more corny each season but for some reason, it's heart still pulls you in and, of course, it's characters. I personally wish it would not be ending. I think 10 seasons is a great number.
Hard work,good heart always a winner. 🤗
Ralph Macchio finally looks like an adult. Loved him in My Cousin Vinny. Wax on, wax off!!
We also saw Ralph Macchio on the return of the Karate Kid in Cobra Kai which is going on to its final season in 2 parts. 1 for this summer and the other for this fall. This past week. Ralph made that interview about his childhood days as a first sequel to the film before entering the club. A Martial arts star was like Bruce Lee and Street Fighter followed by David Carridine in a role in movies as well as Chuck Norris, too. He became one of the highest-grossing films of the year He and his co-star William Zabra have since transferred their young rivary into adulthood, by playing the grown-up Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence in that 5 season run series now in part 1 its sixth and in part 2 final season on Netflix. For him, he was a character from his Karate Kid sequels. Lee Cowan sat down with the cast and showed their strut to their drama and sacrifice. Ralph Macchio was the kung fu of all of them......
Still remember the cheers of everyone at the movie theatre when Daniel won ❤
Karate Kid was Ralph ❤and mr Magagi was our childhood hero ❤fantastic that cobra kai has brought back our happiness in our 50s❤❤❤
"Somewhere, Mr. Miyagi must be smiling." That one line hit me super hard. You can believe in whatever you want or nothing at all, but I choose to believe Pat Morita would be stupidly proud of how this show has been done, if not in it reprising his role as Mr. Miyagi had he not passed away.
I remember watching the Karate Kid when I was 12. I loved the movie, and I enjoy Cobra Kai.
1 of the best movies of all time
i saw the karate kid before i saw the outsiders so i was surprised to see Ralph in the outsiders, i read the book in 7th grade and then watched the movie
Nice story!
WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!! Mr Larusso….. Terry Silver… 😎😎😎👊🏼👊🏼
I Don't Want The Series To End!
When we take our trip to California, my husband and I are going to the miniature golf course where Daniel and Allie have their first date.
It's in Norwalk. If you go there, you might as well make the drive to the oldest Mcdonald's in existence. Its in Downey.
@@judibickford5306 then best make a u turn your Atlanta Ga since that’s where golf n stuff is
@@judibickford5306 🥋🐍
When you're old enough to remember UP THE ACADEMY!
Yup, THAT was his film debut. MAD Magazine founder William Gaines had a field day with the material in that film.
Meanwhile, anyone who remembers catching Ralph in that film will know that he was essentially auditioning for KARATE KID by showing his soccer skills!😂❤
Your the best around nothing gonna ever keep you down
and it spawned a 2010 movie which we dont really talk about.
I’m glad I’m not the only millennial who rather pretend it doesn’t exist
@@manuelorozco7760Same here
@@TheInfantry98 It took me until the lockdown to sit down and watch it. Just Kung Fu and no actual Karate is creatively pointless
Cobra Kai series is awesome. Warrior series is way better and more realistic.
Good guys.
I always say 1/3 of the original movie worked due to Bill Conti’s brilliant score
Because of Karate Kid, I took a chance to watch Rocky after 28 years of my life ignoring it
7:32 I NEED THOSE MAGAZINES
Ralph Macchio is like Al Pacino.
Walking in to school hearing wax on wax off
Nothing like a drama about two guys in their mid-late 40s who act like they never graduated high school. I'm a Karate Kid fan, but this takes it too far.
Talk about a misread of the dynamic between Daniel and Johnny and how the show plays off of that.
This was so cute and sweet; a nice breath of fresh air, as compared to what's usually plaguin' THE rounds, there, over at most NEWS outlets!!!
💯👍🏾 😊
He gave us a move known world wide. Any one any where can do that Krane move and they know immediately
Ralph is a hot daddy now.😅🎉
I wish these writers had done the newer Star Wars movies. People who actually cared about the source material.
Remakes any fresh ideas netflix?
This series was supposed to be about johnny and cobra kia
It became karate kid 2.0
That doesn't work
🧡🧡🧡
Sure, nice attempted document, but nothing on the return of the karate kid ( not cobra Kai )
That's because this is about the Netflix Series "Cobra Kai" having its 6th and last season. If you haven't seen it, the same actors play their original rolls from the 1980's Karate Kid. It's just 40 years later so the characters are now in their 50s teaching a younger generation.
well it has 6 seasons so I guess they are doing something right.
@@robynmasters335 yup seen them all
But... but... what about Hillary Swank as "The Next Karate Kid"?
NOT A FAN OF COBRA KAI KINDA SILLY TO MAKE THAT
YEA I GUESS SO
Hillary Swank, whatever happened to her? Imagine if she ever win two Oscars for best actress.
Thompson Karen Miller Donald Walker Cynthia
Are we finally getting a Hilary Swank came?
❤❤❤
As a fellow Long Islander, I'm a fan of Macchio but the new series is so poorly written and acted. Sorry, Ralph.
Daniel is startin to get annoying this season and season 5. He's always gettin in Johnnys way when Johnny starts to be a better father to Robby, a better sensei and everytime Daniel sees Johnny being with the kids and teaching them something other Myiagi-Do karate, he has some kind of a need and jealousy to always ruin everything for Johnny. And honestly its starts to get annoying that he always think he's on the right side and never be wrong about anything and Myiagi-Do karate is the right choice for the kids. I hope that Johnny and his Eagle Fang/Cobra Kai students wins the sekai taikai and not Daniel
Who fkn cares?
Quite the 180 from the first film, huh? It's like they planned it!
