I remember watching this show with my Mom whenever it came on to TNT. I was disappointed when it was canceled and I'm hoping sooner or later it'll come out onto DVD. Of course I don't remember everything about the show, however if it ever comes out onto DVD I will buy it.I still like to watch David Carradine and Chris Potter on other movies and television series. My other favorite with Potter was Silk Stalkings, I was also disappointed when that was canceled as well. If anyone has any info regarding the Kung Fu: The Legend Continues ever coming to DVD please contact me at my email address.Overall the show was excellent. I would give it a A++++
... View MoreYou know what was great about the late 80's and early 90's? All of those old shows we love, like Knight Rider and Quantum Leap and the A-Team. Shows that while they contained over-the-top action and cheesy comedy, had endearing characters and interesting premises that weren't so tired as to be not worth watching. I think that Kung Fu, The Legend Continues fits neatly into that list of 'B' list TV favorites.Following the further adventures of Kwai Chang Kaine as his wandering finally comes to an end and he settles down long enough to be with his son, a detective in the inner city, this is both a cop and Kung Fu show and a curious parody of how the perceptions of Asian mysticism have worked their way into modern culture. David Caradine's character's amusement at the modern world is quirky and anachronistic, and interesting characters like the Ancient keep you coming back. And of course, there's just something to be said about listening to David Caradine talk.Another twist here was the sense of history that the connection to David Caradine's old Kung-Fu Western, the original Kung Fu gave the sequel series. The show hearkens back to it's roots by containing flashbacks, not of Kaine this time as in the original series, but of his son's history as he recalls the teachings of the Shoulin monks when faced with trouble.Movies like Big Trouble in Little China, Kill Bill volumes 1 and 2, and even the Matrix trilogy would later rely on the groundwork laid by this and other shows and films to set the stage for wacky wire works combat and mystical fights where more than was normally possible was suddenly a part of the story. It's clear to most that the gravel-voiced Caradine was chosen for his role in Kill Bill for his contribution to the Kung-Fu Spagetti Western, a genre he and contemporary Bruce Lee helped create, and the very character he plays here.Over all, take KF:LC for what it is; a fun action series with memorable characters. Enjoy.
... View MoreAccording to something i once read was spoffed in several comedic comic us magazines as a kid for his "supposed" buffonery in the 1970's. The star i refer to is chris potter. Potter is a capable actor who did well in this series about a father and son who battle crime. The plot film starred brandon lee. The series is based on a concept by BRUCE LEE deveolped with a Weintraub in the 1970's. Of note is the reported involvement of potter in the church of the immaculate soul aka heart grnated this like most news reports can be in error. A interesting show, with a modern take on the original.
... View MoreDavid Carradine and cast present an interesting and captivating episode every time. This show rules! Great guest stars: Mickey Rooney, John Saxon, Pamela Susan Shoop, etc...they all make for great entertainment! There is a good chemistry between Caine and his son Peter. Flashbacks are always cool. As to why young Caine had to change actors, who knows? Maybe Nathaniel Moreau got too big. Great show, I've watched episodes over and over again.
