One of the few bad things about “Cobra Kai” is that Mr. Miyagi isn’t a part of it. But they’re not done telling his story . . . because a prequel series centered on him is in the works. Ralph Macchio says, “It’s in the discussion stages . . . It’s a project that I’m cheering for personally, because [Pat Morita] always wanted to do more with where Miyagi came from, so that would be wonderful to see that realized.”

The Rock tells Turner Classic Movies that he cries every time he watches Mel Gibson’s movie, ”Braveheart.” “I watched that movie about a month ago. Got “misty-eyed.” I have in my possession the sword that Mel Gibson uses in Braveheart. It is a massive sword, and one of the few that a Scottish blacksmith and his family, generational blacksmiths, have been commissioned to make that sword from the Wallace family.”
