Ralph Macchio on Karate Kid Remake

There is no question that the Karate Kid remake starring Will Smith’s son Jaden and Jackie Chan is an absolutely retched idea.

But what does the OG Karate Kid, the only real star of the series, Daniel Larusso himself, Ralph Macchio think?

He thinks it’s great that the fans of the film, like us, are up in arms over this blasphemy.

“It feels pretty good that some people are pretty angry that they’re trying to remake The Karate Kid,” he said. “It feels good that the public feels you don’t touch certain things. Sometimes you go back to that, and probably shouldn’t. From my personal view, the filling the void of what Mr. Miyagi was - and the magic of that character - is going to be the toughest task.”

Tough?

How about impossible?

What’s next, an updated E.T.? Don’t redo things that were perfect the first time!
