A new version of THE KARATE KID opens this weekend, and right about now people are undoubtedly asking, “What’s Ralph Macchio up to these days?” You know, the original version’s star. Well, the fine folks at Funny or Die e-mailed us this morning, and brought our attention to a new Todd Holland video trailer for a mockumentary about Ralph Macchio trying to stage a comeback. It’s pretty funny stuff, as one would expect, and even has cameos from Molly Ringwald and Kevin Connolly. You even get to see Macchio do the crane! Check it out below, and be sure to visit Funny or Die for guaranteed laughs.
