Call #: 791.43028 M124w Subjects Macchio, Ralph, 1961-   Karate kid (Motion picture : 1984)   Actors and actresses -- United States -- Biography.   Martial arts films -- United States -- History and criticism.   Martial arts -- United States -- Television adaptations -- History and criticism. ISBN:  9780593185834 (hc.) Alternate title:  Karate Kid and me Description:  viii, 241 p. : col. ill. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Since 'The Karate Kid' first crane-kicked its way into the pop culture stratosphere in June 1984, there hasn't been a week Ralph Macchio hasn't heard friendly shouts of 'Wax on, wax off' or 'Sweep the leg!' Now, with Macchio reprising his role as Daniel LaRusso in the #1 ranked Netflix show 'Cobra Kai,' he is finally ready to look back and celebrate the legacy on 'The Karate Kid' in cinema, pop culture, and his own life. The result, 'Waxing On,' is a comprehensive look at a film that shaped Macchio as much as it influenced the world. He shares an insider's perspective of the untold story behind the scenes --the innocence of the early days, the audition process, his experiences working with Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue, and William Zabka; and so much more. He also takes readers through the birth of some of the film's most iconic moments, including the creation of the famous crane kick and the touching scenes that revealed Mr. Miyagi's intriguing backstory. Ultimately, the book centers on Ralph's indelible connection to the film itself, focusing on the reason that the characters and themes have endured in such a powerful way, and how these personal experiences have impacted Macchio's life as well. It brings readers back to the day they met Daniel LaRusso and Mr. Miyagi for the first time, but also provides a fascinating lens into how our pasts shape all of us, and how they can come bacl to enrich our lives in surprising and wonderful ways." --Jacket.
