zabka

If I asked you who William Zabka was you probably wouldn't have a clue, but if I told you he played the bully, Johnny Lawrence in the film The Karate Kid. You'd know exactly who I'm talking about ;)

I just watched The Karate Kid.  It's one of my favourite 80s films.  So after the always stirring and satisfying ending, I wondered about William Zabka and what he got up to after being craned on The Karate Kid. I'd seen him in other 80s films and he seemed typecast to play the bully like in Just One of the Guys, another one of my 80s favourites. 

Then I found this music video that Zabka directed and starred in. It's called Sweep the Leg by No More Kings.  Zabka parodies himself living in a trailer and obsessed with his role on The Karate Kid.  It's hilarious and also has a cameo by Ralph Macchio, the Karate Kid himself.

Maybe you've seen it, I had no idea about it.  In any case, enjoy :)
