VallyNicky While I don't hold to Eastern Mysticism, I liked this show very much. The characters were engaging and had you coming back week after week. I'd even go so far as to say I'd buy the entire series if the Carradine family ever released it on DVD. The last I heard, David had purchased all the rights to this franchise and his family had no interest in releasing them as of yet. I tried watching the original series when it was on as repeats, but I couldn't get into it. I saw enough to recognize scene's they'd borrowed as flashbacks for KF:TLC. At first I wasn't happy with the season three changes, but I really came to love Kermit Griffith. He was by far my favorite character, aside from Peter Caine, of course. I wish the show had run longer than 4 seasons. Thank goodness, fan fiction keeps canceled shows alive, even for the not so die-hard fan like me.
chow913 Best of Paramount's 'Power Pack' I remember seeing this show when it first aired on Paramount's 'Power Pack,' before it became UPN, United Paramount Network.'Kung Fu' was always a FUBAR show in my mind. What's this white guy who thinks he's a Chinese monk doing in the Wild West? 'Kung Fu: The Legend Continues' embraces the horror of 'Kung Fu' and runs with it full force. Now the white guy is old, in present day, still thinks he's a Chinese monk, and fighting terrorism.The result is side splitting antics, which is what the show's creators most likely (hopefully) intended. Why else would they have Cain go undercover at a gay nightclub? Time travel? And fight terrorists? Cain mix of beatnik philosophy, ancient Chinese potions and spells, and slow motion fighting are just what we need in the war on terror.In the Wild West Cain was a weirdo. In the present day he's even more out of place and downright hysterical. This is not an insult to the show. It's so wacky it works! PS, did anyone ever bother to tell David Carradine that he's not Chinese? Maybe no one had the heart to break it to him.
smmcroberts This is not as consistently excellent as the original series Kung Fu. About 2/3 of the episodes in TLC are roll-your-eyes and groan awful. This is particularly true when supernatural nonsense and the utterly absurd are made intricate parts of the plot. However, the remaining third are remarkably good, and make it worthwhile to endure the rest. I had trouble with Carradine's acting. He played Kwai Chang pretty much as the original character who had emigrated from China. But Kwai Chang II supposedly lived in the U.S. for at least 40 years, had been a professional gambler, bus boy, assistant paralegal, etc. Yet he acted as if he didn't understand common phrases and colloquialisms, and would stumble and hesitate over simple English sentences. It's as if he just fell back into the role from the first series and was too lazy to update it for the new circumstances. He also appeared a little too out of shape to so easily defeat all assailants. The moments of wisdom are few and far between: it is more of an action cop show (and stands up well in that genre). Chris Potter and the supporting cast went a long way towards injecting some reality and saving the series.
kenny782 Love the comments and I agree this was a great show.The way they endedseason 4 it had another season in it I think.Or at least a spin off TV movie or two... sucks :( Too bad it was never released on DVD.I'm not selling anything but for anyone with withdrawal like me :) I found a site that has the whole thing on DVD's.It's recorded from TV of course but good quality and they edited out the commercials.I love being able to come home some nights and throw on a few episodes.It's in the action section on www.tvaddicts.TV
