Waxing On: The Karate Kid And Me Book Review

Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid 1, 2, and 3, The Outsiders, My Cousin Vinny, Cobra Kai, Karate Kid: Legends and more) released his biography Waxing On: The Karate Kid And Me in 2022.

It’s definitely a biography, but it is not a full on autobiography because even though he touches on his life a fair amount, the majority of the book is about his experiences making the first The Karate Kid movie.

If you are a fan of The Karate Kid, you must read this book.

Ralph tells you everything you want to know about the making of the movie.

He also talks about the other movies and Cobra Kai quite a bit and some of this other movies and shows.

Like I said, it is definitely a biography, but it’s not a full on one.

But it is an amazing and quick read and I love it.

And thank you Ralph for signing it (via Talk Shop Live).
