“That first fight took a lot of time,” he said. In 2019, Zabka was being interviewed at the Paley Center when he revealed one fight scene on Cobra Kai had netted him a broken toe that he simply pulled back into place to continue filming. Cobra Kai aired two seasons on YouTube Red, the site’s premium service, before moving to Netflix in 2020. Seeing the universe through the eyes of Johnny Lawrence convinced Macchio the idea had merit. Miyagi (the late Pat Morita) had on LaRusso in the original films but had no substance beyond that. “It was always easier to say no and protect the legacy because I’m very protective of it, and it was never smart enough.” In a separate interview with Collider, Macchio said that many of the pitches involved LaRusso having a child who would prompt him to mirror the influence Mr. “Listen, I’ve heard many, many pitches over 30-plus years of why we wanna revisit this world, and it never seemed fresh,” Macchio told Uproxx in 2020. When Cobra Kai was conceived by producers Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, Ralph Macchio thought it was the right time to say yes to a Karate Kid revival after nearly three decades of turning one down. Ralph Macchio had gotten offers to reprise his The Karate Kid role before Cobra Kai. Now that you've binged the recently-released fourth season, check out some things you might not know about the surprise hit. His high school rival, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), is a down-on-his-luck handyman who decides to look to his old dojo’s principles for salvation. In the continuation, LaRusso, winner of the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament, is now a successful car dealer.
