After decades of saying no to returning to 'The Karate Kid' franchise, Ralph Macchio explains why he said yes to 'Cobra Kai.'

Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, and Patrick Swayze on the set of"The Outsiders."Early on I did a lot of stuff with C. Thomas Howell. Emilio.

But everyone wanted to be close to Diane Lane because she was amazing.
