With the upcoming release of the new Karate Kid film, Funny or Die created the Ralph Macchio ‘Wax On, F*ck Off’ documentary trailer.
Ralph Macchio of the original Karate Kid and The Outsiders fame disappeared from the lime-life shortly after his youth stardom. In this new mockumentary Macchio attempts to regain his fame by becoming a Hollywood bad boy and ditching his nice guy attitude. It doesn’t go well according to the trailer but the Ralph Macchio ‘Wax On, F*ck Off’ video is a great example of how to not take yourself too seriously.
