There's this article from 1984 about the rise of villainous blondes in movies that I'm reading — and while it's interesting, all I really care about are the sections on The Karate Kid and interviewing William Zabka on the subject lol
First, great way to describe William Zabka's/Johnny's platinum bangs.
Reminder: this article released in 1984. So it's little squeaky-voiced Zabka saying this about himself.
Just LOVED the way this is phrased about the Cobras LOL (nooo don't forget about Token Brunet Jimmy 😭)
What I found MOST intriguing though is that Zabka apparently shares This about him and his costars:
LISTEN...I KNOW IT WAS FORTY YEARS AGO...BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHAT ZABKA, THOMAS, MCQUEEN, GARRISON, AND O'DELL WERE SAYING ABOUT THEIR CHARACTERS AND THEIR PARENTS SO BAD...I NEED THEIR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE COBRAS
Heyy uh. Quick question but why was Bobby and Kreese’s relationship apparently supposed to be even MORE fucked up than what we see in the final product. Touching the part of his body that he wants him to hurt?? Which is itself a simultaneous demonstration and threat??? The way Pat handles Ron here??? ,,, Mom can you come pick me up I’m scared
