With the new Karate Kid re-make coming out, it raises the question of what happened to the old one, what happened to Ralph Macchio?
The answer is not pretty:
Ok, so this video demonstrates that Ralph has a sense of humor. But we knew that with his appearance in this video:
But, you know, this is a pretty striking indictment of Hollywood: that only bad boys get comebacks, like Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey, Jr. The good guys just fade away. Or perhaps this is Ralph having a public pity party? I prefer to think that he is doing fine (what a nice family he has), perhaps because I definitely empathized with his character long ago. Plus he got to date Elisabeth Shue, fictionally anyway.
UPDATED: See this interview with Macchio for his account of the video.
