zwerg105 This appears to have been the first calculated step taken towards diminishing the legacy of the incredible Kung Fu TV series. Look at the writer's credits. The Shaolin order has been destroyed! (says you). How much more awful can you get? No more spring of wisdom and center of peace, while the carrier of the flame is wrapped up in family affairs with the man we don't give two farts about (the father of the nephew), and an illegitimate son intent to kill him. Caine was a role model for many that grew up with the TV show. It is such a pleasure to observe the regular folks interact with the thoughtful and humble one. (ok IMDb here's your 10th line)

rebeljenn 'Kung Fu' was the ultimate martial arts television series that had evolved into a few movies and other adaptions. This movie starred David Carradine, and I saw it on television originally in the 1980s when it was first broadcast. I remember that this film was a little dry and it lacked a really coherent story and the charm that the television series offered. This seemed more modernised and more like a movie that was all about the action and the martial arts. I just thought it did not work very well. Maybe I was prejudiced because I enjoyed the television series a lot more, and I expected something different. This film just did not do it for me, and it was more involved with the action than anything else, so it suffered from a storyline, and I just did not care for the story. I think it had something to do with finding a long lost brother or son or something. Unengaging. Not as good as the series. Watch the series instead!

callanvass This is a great martial arts flick with 2 fantastic performances from David Carradine and Beandon Lee!. It's got some really cool fights in it, however if your looking for a martial arts film with lots of action look elsewhere, but if you want a Martial Arts film, with a great plot and a great story, with some cool fight scenes, and a bit of action you have come to the right place!. Mako is awesome as the main villain, and i loved the flashback scenes, as well plus, the finale is great and very exciting. The ending was great, however i wished Brandon had more screen time, it was still extremely cool to see David Carradine and Brandon Lee in the same movie together!. This is a great martial arts film,that's smart and intelligent, i am now going to buy the TV series on DVD, and check out, the movie as well!. The Direction is very good. Richard Lang does a very good job here with some cool shots, good camera angles, and he kept the film at a fast pace!. The Acting is WONDERFUL!. David Carradine is amazing here, he is extremely likable, mysterious, had great dialog, kicked that ass, and was tons of fun to watch! (David Rules!). Brandon lee is AMAZING as he always was, however he is quite creepy here, with limited dialog (except at the end),and always had an intense look on his face!, he was wonderful (Brandon Ruled!). Mako is fantastic as the main villain, he is extremely menacing unpredictable and just rocked overall!. Kerrie Keane didn't convince me here, as she was rather annoying and her chemistry with Crradine was off. William Lucking is good as the dirty cop. Rest of the cast are awesome. Overall i highly recommend this great martial Arts flick, i am going buy the TV series on DVD, and see the movie as well!. ***1/2 out of 5

Neo-212 This was Brandon Lee's first role (he was 21) and is a decent movie. If you like the show then you will like this. I personally think David Carridine is a disgrace to martial arts because well, he sucks. He also once claimed to be possessed by Bruce Lee's spirit. Ummm, yeah O.K. I only watched this to see Brandon Lee. You can tell he had really just started in the martial arts but he was still better than Carridine. Brandon did a good job acting too in kind of a villain role at first who changes his ways in the end. If you're a Brandon Lee fan, check it out grasshopper!
