Ralph Macchio & William Zabka React to Their Karate Kid Fight | Cobra Kai | Netflix

With the global tournament approaching, Daniel and Johnny work to rebuild their team. But old enemies and new threats stand in the way of victory.

The enemies/rivals tension they had in the movie was so intense that seeing them hang out like friends just feels weird lol. Goes to show that they're great actors.

[EagleMan]

This is how I imagine Daniel and Johnny's characters reacting to rewatching this as well.

[CobraKaiNation]

I love seeing Ralph and Billy react to the OG KK film!

[Nargon]

Cobra Kai is everything the Star Wars Sequels should have been. Only bringing back legacy characters when they have a reason and a purpose to the story, treating the originals with respect and reverence without being afraid to critique the characters, but still staying true to the original characters without ever making them feel like different people, introducing the new cast through the old cast and making them equally important, plenty of corny references but only after its had enough original stuff to earn the throwback moments. Not to mention a painfully rare writing competence that current film and television is sorely lacking. Throw in the best television original score in decades and some bloody great stunt coordination, this show has earned it's place in history. Time to go out with a bang.

It's so dope to see them together after all these years just chilling being friends. My favorite movie of all time

[ARKenMan]

Whoever came up with the idea for this show was a GENIUS!!! I love this show and who knew these 2 actually dig each other in real life. It really comes through in the show too. All the kids on the new show are unbelievable in their respective roles. I love when Hawk goes in the match to fight and you hear an actual hawk cry in the audio feed - gets me every time. I love how they brought all the old characters back on the show into various points in time. Chozen coming in was super cool. Too many things to say. The whole series has been absolute GOLD. I'm gonna miss this one big time.

[SeattleSandro]

Ok, so I watched this movie as a kid and probably a dozen of times over the decades and watching Ralph and Billy sit and watch this gave me goosebumps. I LOVE that Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and the bad boy of Karate, Mike Barnes, all end up on the same side. My inner 10-year old is totally nerding out.

[KSouthworth]

As a kid watching this scene, I’d cry when Johnny gave Daniel the trophy. That to me was always the most poignant part of the entire story.

[ThunderPants]

These two guys were so good in their roles, and they both still look great.

[hpa]

At 0:14, after that take down, I can't help but feel Johnny is thinking "Dang, I sure walked right into that one."

[EricSmith-kmjb]

ralph is 62 guys...62!
william is a little younger but both look superb for their age.

[alanguages]

It was actually held in an actual karate tournament. Zabka and Macchio looked all around and Zabka stated to Macchio what the hell are they even doing there.
A reference to the fact everyone else actually practiced karate, but he and Macchio were in a place they did not belong. Deer in the headlights type of stuff.

Still they became icons representing the art to appeal to many people becoming interested in learning karate.

[samushunter]

Been waiting for this video for 40 years lol

[MrInsensibile]

"It's a piece of pop culture".
You're so right mate.

[MsLH]

It's so cool to see them watch their younger selves❤❤❤.. legendary movie!&both of them are gorgeous

[dahlerickson]

what blows my mind is when actors say they haven't watched it. I've watched that seen hundreds of times. It kind of feels like the actors sometimes don't get to feel the magic because they are in the stew as it was being cooked.

[adrianaavila]

Omg no way. This is so cool. It still tickles me that it’s them- like them them when they were younger. Like, they’re reprising their own roles 30+ years later. I’m so happy to be here and am such a fan of the movies and now the show. Can’t ever look at the trilogy the same way- cause I know (we all know) what happens in the future 🥹 ❤

[NeddyMontz]

Best sensei duo in the valley 🔥🔥🔥 Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence

[Cybo-Man]

I really want a new KK movie with these two 🤞🏻

[maskstyle]

I thought everything is good between them when Johnny hands Danny his trophy. But in the beginning of Cobra Kai series, it showed Johnny is still having a deep grudge with Danny.
