Cobra Kai star Ralph Macchio has revealed the craziest pitch he ever heard for a sequel to The Karate Kid, which would have been a Rocky crossover.
For many years, Macchio had no interest in ever playing the role of Daniel LaRusso again since his final performance in 1989’s The Karate Kid Part III.
As we all know now, Macchio finally did agree upon an idea to continue The Karate Kid when Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Josh Heald, and Hayden Schlossberg came to him with a fresh take on the franchise that still honors the story established in the original movie trilogy.
A crossover between Rocky and The Karate Kid sounds unintentionally hilarious, and while it could be entertaining, it’s all for the best the project didn’t happen.
