Ralph Macchio was 31 in "My Cousin Vinny" and could pass for like 19

.

A gift and a curse.

 

[ultra7k]

I always thought he was like...12 in Karate Kid haha.

also, Daniel is the real bully. This gets me every time.

I'm still puzzled how that whiny doofus landed Alli.

I can still picture Larusso's stupid 'OH YEAH!' face when he scores a goal against Alli in air hockey at Golf 'n Stuff.

Can you feel the night?

 

[Reptars Revenge]

So this is where we get the new new Karate Kid reboot where Macchio teaches a new kid right

Teaches Johnny's rough and tough kid after Johnny died.

 

[Into the Light]

Karate Kid 3 was fun if just for this one scene.

Lol, awesome.

 

[TheMan]

Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is as old now as The Rolling Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" was when SLTS was released.

my god

Your posts are full of gold.

So no ones gonna say anything about this factoid being 4 years old? OP's source is from 2013...

I forgot there was a part three, i think i've only seen it once, many years ago

I guess they read the title and saw that it was saying Ralph Maccio was the same age. This one says he's 4 years older.

You read the date and not the title?

 

[Kittygirl]

God, I remember a male friend of mine feeling so BETRAYED when Macchio's age came out. He identified so much!

He never trusted a teen movie after that. (Yes, we rolled our eyes.)

It's not just you. Between that and Jaden Smith, I was like, "I'm good, thanks."

Haha yeah I wasn't going to mention him at the time but I won't lie, I don't care for the guys acting at all.

 

[Frozenprince]

No way in hell. I refuse to believe you.

 

[Keikaku]

EDIT: I RESCIND EVERYTHING. GO BACK TO FEELING JUST AS BAD AS BEFORE.

 

[Santiako]

The article is from March 2013 so, actually it's pretty much 4 years old.

So, more accurately, Raplh Macchio is 8 years older now than Pat Morita was when Karate Kid was released.

No, OP posted a 4 year old article that said they were the same age.

 

[googleplex]

So this is where we get the new new Karate Kid reboot where Macchio teaches a new kid right

Already had a Karate kid reboot. And it was superior to the original.

 

[BadAss2961]

Look at this dude on a friendly date and game of Air Hockey.

Not that boy from Reseda...

Posts like these are why I'm not a mod.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Time for mods to step up and rename Phediuk if these threads continue.

 

[Randam]

How Will Smith's kid ended up in China with Jackie Chan is still beyond me. It's a no brainer for Macchio to be taking on the mentor role. The first time he opens that can of whoop ass like Miyagi did in 1-3 the theater would erupt.

It's beyond me, why the movie is called karate kid, when Kung Fu is a chinese martial arts.

 

[BlackBanditSho]

Equal. Not superior, but definitely on par. It's a damn good movie, and that's coming from a film buff who feels that OG Karate Kid is one of my favorite movies of all time.

 

[The Salt Life]

The face of a 23-year old man.

He was 23 when he made that?
The NY accent was thick as all hell, makes sense.

I don't believe this. It cannot be true.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Ralph Macchio was 31 in "My Cousin Vinny" and could pass for like 19

I think this topic is void because the dude aged like Keanu Reeves and was way older than everyone thought to begin with.

Bring on some other "make me feel old" fun fact.

He was 31???? Looks like a kid

 

[oneils]

I'm pretty sure we've had this thread already. And we felt really old back then. Now we feel even older.

OP forgot because he is old.

 

[Wiseblood]

He was 28 in Karate Kid Part III

what's the deal with that

And he's actually a year older than the guy who played Terry Silver in that movie.

I don't feel old from that. I was like 3 when that movie came out.

 

[S-Wind]

I didn't realize Ralph Macchio was 23 years old in the Karate Kid. That's way older than I had figured.

Pat Morita also looked way older than 53 by today's standards.

I reckon having you and all of your family put into concentration camps by your own government for no reason other than your ancestry prematurely ages you.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

He looks like he's in his early 30's now, wow.

WTF, why are we posting "stories" from four years ago?

just pointing this out made me laugh

rip time

 

[WildZero]

Why they didn't just call the damn thing Kung Fu Kid is beyond me. Ok I know that it's supposed to be a reboot or whatever and they're obviously banking on that name recognition, but he's in china learning kung fu from Jackie Chan, that shit legit bugged me and I have no desire to watch it because of that. I don't care of that's unreasonable of me lol.

It really annoyed me too - I had to go & hack together a replacement poster for my movie library:

 

[CadetMahoney]

Unrelated, but related, I never knew the cast of Grease where supposed to play High Schoolers. Always thought they where College/University students at least until someone told me.

I never payed attention to any details like the school, like why would they be teaching the "bird and the bees" to these grown-ass 6-footers. Oliva Newton John was 30 when she played the role of a high school prima donna Sandy.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

He was 28 in Karate Kid Part III

what's the deal with that

He looked it, too. Was really distracting. I wonder how much older then him the guy who played Terry Silver was.
