Ralph Macchio is 43!

So the Karate Kid is making a comeback according to a CNN.com article, The once and future ‘Karate Kid’. largely because Gen Xers remember it fondly as a good tale of morality that they want to pass on to their children. Macchio has even watched it with his kids and now more closely relates with the Mr Miyagi character than his own portrayal of the punk-ass kid, Daniel-san.
More interestingly, however, is the fact that Ralp Macchio is 43. HOLY SHIT RALPH MACCHIO IS 43! I always thought of the Karate Kid as being about my age. Not the Hilary Swank, Karate Kid 4. Nope, the Ralph Macchio character. I forget that Ralph played the 16-year-old Daniel-san when Ralph was, like, 72. I also forget that we count Ralph Macchio’s age in dog years. I mean look at the picture, he looks like he could be cast as the kid in Home Alone 13 tomorrow.
Now I feel really old. I thought that perhaps that realization would be brought on by having a child. I was wrong. It’s the realization that Daniel-san is freakin’ 43. 43! Shit.

Strike hard, strike first, no mercy, sir! Oh, how I loved the Cobra Kai! Those dudes were awesome, until Daniel took them out with a modified Northern Crane kick. Man, that was sad.
Maybe the plot will be about how Daniel-san takes his Okinawan Karate to a MMA event and gets pretzelled in a submission hold by one of the Gracie Jiu-Jitsuists, but ends up winning because he has developed both an invincible iron crotch technique that allows him to take a direct hit to the stones, and a double secret dim mak death touch that instantly vaporizes all foes.
Nah, that script will never happen.
