I’m so glad they included his Outsiders performance. The last scene with him and Dallas will always be powerful
-
Cobra Kai is the best handled continuation of a franchise I've ever seen. Ralph and the rest of the team are doing an incredible job!
-
My 7th grade English teacher read us The Outsiders in class - I was 12yo. We were all in tears by the end of it.
-
The Outsiders is a true CLASSIC!! We read the book in my english class in school and so did my kids so to this day the movie is one of our absolute favorites!! Much love Ralph ❤ He is a true Legend.
-
Karate Kid 2 is very underrated. Great cast, amazing score, lots of heart and touching moments, a more raw final match with higher stakes, and Kumiko was Daniel’s best pairing in my humble opinion.
-
I'm glad to hear him talk about The Outsiders more. I love the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai series, but The Outsiders film will always have a special place in my film loving heart.
-
I love his personality. He seems so kind and down to earth ☺️
-
The outsiders is by far my favorite movie, and I think Ralph fit the role for johnny PERFECTLY. I've read the book a million times, and every time I read about johnny, I picture Ralph in my head. It just fits perfectly.
-
Ralph made a good point about how they portray Daniel in the show. It was a little weird seeing him as a dealership owner but it started to make more sense as the seasons went on. Also it makes more sense when you rewatch the movies and you see that Daniel was always pretty cocky.
-
he was a client at my previous job. VERY sweet, down to earth, never ever pulled the “celeb” card. just an overall cool dude who was always a pleasure to see.
-
I could listen to him talk forever. He has such a soothing voice and a way about how he explains things that just holds my attention like few other people can. Loved this man as a child and I still love him now in my 40's :)
-
The way Ralph says “My cousin Vinny!” in that scene gets me every time.
-
Remember, Ralph is 60, he looks extremely good for his age, honestly stopped aging a long time ago. ❤️
-
"Stay Golden" is such a beautiful line. I say it to people and they don't know I'm quoting a classic film line. More people should either read the book or know the film.
-
He said “SOME OF my iconic roles” because he’s upset no one ever talks about ‘Crossroads.’ He wanted to play all the guitar in that movie. It meant a lot of him.
-
Wish they included cross roads. One of his best performances hands down.
-
15 y.o and hyperfixating on him bc of the outsiders so I'm glad he talked about it in this
-
Seems like such a nice, humble guy. I can't imagine him being rude to a fan. You can tell he appreciates what he had and has.
-
Really puts a smile on your face to think how so many members of the original cast of Karate Kid returned for Cobra Kai to bring Karate Kid to a new generation
-
Macchio should be in more movies. In more noticeable great films I mean. He's such a great actor.
