CobraKai star Ralph Macchio breaks down the season 5 battle between antagonist Terry Silver and his character Daniel LaRusso, explaining what made it so pivotal.
Ralph Macchio gives an in-depth breakdown of his Cobra Kai season 5 fight with Thomas Ian Griffith's Terry Silver. Cobra Kai, a legacy sequel set after the events of 1984's The Karate Kid, has become a streaming sensation, especially since it was picked up by Netflix after a stint on YouTube Red.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In The Karate Kid Part III, Silver was a manipulative force that sought to drive a wedge between Daniel and his beloved mentor, Mr. Miyagi . He shows a deep commitment to expanding the Cobra Kai dojo and continues that mission in Cobra Kai season 5. Due to Silver's respected standing in the community, age, and charisma, he manages to charm the Valley, making Daniel appear crazed as he tries to take the man down.
“We do stuff in pieces, but I wanted to do pretty long stretches of it by design of the fight. We took our time, finding all of those beats in there. It’s always gotta play to what’s going on narratively, story-wise, character. So for that scene, that’s LaRusso, unhinged. Silver has Daniel in the palm of his hand, right there. So it is that psychological advantage.”
Macchio's comments reveal how this fight differs from others in Cobra Kai due to its filming in long stretches rather than piece by piece. That choice is significant, since Daniel's exhaustion is an important component of the fight, and filming in longer stretches would have made it appear more grueling.
As Cobra Kai moves into a potential season 6, it's essential that each battle continues to feel necessary and adds something new to the overall story. With so many Karate Kid franchise actors now present in the series, audiences have seen Mike Barnes , Chozen , and Johnny in a team up, many fights between old rivals Daniel and Johnny, a Daniel vs Chozen and Daniel vs. Mike rematch, and several battles between Silver and the others as they worked to take him down.
