This show has profoundly changed my life. The lessons taught to young Caine by his Masters are second to none. They ooze wisdom and Master Po’s jovial and positive attitude brings a tear to my eye. Just the best lessons to become one with the universe. My thanks to everyone involved with this awesome show.
Then you need to really thank Bruce Lee. It was his idea and his plots that they ran with. He was about to even star in it until Mgt felt he was too Chinese looking for the role ( 1960’s Chinese were looked down upon) Hence, they held auditions behind Bruce’s Back and he was informed after getting ready to start film production that they had a change of plans - they will follow the same script (without paying royalties) For writing the first 5-6 scripts and further advises him That they went with David Carradine instead of him. Messed up.
@@princeali1786soweit ich weiß bekam Bruce Lee die Hauptrolle in Kung Fu deshalb nicht, weil sein englisch zu schlecht und sein chinesischer Akzent zu stark war.😢
As kids in the 70's we loved this show and never missed an episode. Next day we were at school there would be kicks and moves aplenty lol, it was great
Im a 90s kid and Im not jealous at any kids growing up after my gen especially the 2010s and 2020s. But damn I always think the 70s and 80s were such awesome times in terms of media. So many good films, tv shows and music. I watched this show in the 90s on reruns but I cant imagine how crazy it was to watch this shows to that time. Same for Star Wars - A New Hope.
As a teenager the fight scenes were the most exciting part of every episode but the it was the insight into Buddhism that has stayed with me all my life.
I was in junior high school when Kung Fu first aired in 1972. It was my favorite show back then..I never missed an episode. I also remember seeing David Carradine in Mad Magazine..they called him young fool.
Caine was all about peace but he traveled to land where bullies and troublemakers loomed, I admired the way he would always defend himself, Caine was one of the greatest characters in TV history, David Carradine was brilliant in Kung Fu.
Yes he was all that. He impressed me in this series how in one scene they kept him jailed in a small dark cave like and was punishing him for about a week, and I think without food, and he fit himself in that very small space with his legs cross style, and did his breath control which probably took his mind elsewhere, like he was on an island, in Hawaii. After 7days, when they opened that cave hole open, they probably thought he would be dead, but came out looking better than them. Loved it, because I know there are ppl in that field that can actually do that, even Caine
I watched it too. But I couldn’t stand it. I grew up on ninja 🥷 and much more horrifying fight scenes. Smoke bombs, swords and ninja stars. Kung Fu was good, but even as a kid I knew he was pretty bad at fighting.. however this didn’t stop me watching every single episode of Kung Fu..!!!
Bruce Lee tried as the Lead of Kung Fu , but was turned down because he was Chinese . They picked David Carradine , who one Nothing about Martial Arts. True Story.
Yeah and after the humble man beats the arrogant jerk he tells some rando he'll never forget them he goes to auto erotically asphixiate himself, wholesome family entertainment right there
@DemiGod.. Bruce had Already made his mark on TV with THE GREEN HORNET ,and was ready to expand into movies. Plus, all during this series ,David went through training in martial arts. Not many people know that David and Bruce cowrote a screenplay for a movie called CIRCLE OF IRON.
I loved this show.I was a teenager in the 70’s and enjoyed every episode. I loved the way Caine fought. No stupid noises. He fought so real. I wished I had those skills. Great show.
The brilliant chain swinging William Smith was the go-to muscle-bound bad boy back in the 70's and 80's and he was 88 this year and still going strong.
I love Bruce Lee. He is amazing, but give Carradine his due. He was awesome in this role. A great series. That did employ a lot of Asian actors. People forget about that.
Was Du vielleicht nicht weisst, Bruce Lee hatte die Idee dieser Serie. Zu dieser Zeit war es aber für einen Chinesen, in USA, unmöglich so eine Hauptrolle zu spielen.
The issue wasn't about employing Asian actors. Hollywood was not ready for an Asian lead actor back then. Bruce Lee broke down barriers when he rose to iconic stardom in "Enter The Dragon". Check it Out! Ciao!!!
My nephew, I recently pulled the 'snatch from my hand' to teach a point. His father, my brother-in-law burst out laughing. We kids of the 70s, its a touchstone.
This was fantastic in the early seventies, Kung Fu films hit our cinemas and when we were in school we never seen anything like this before, always couldn't wait for the next episode,it was wisdom and the philosophy about this series, those were the greatest days of our lives.
The actor with the chain is William Smith. He performed in almost 300 movies and TV shows, usually as the bad guy. He spoke 5 languages , one of which was Russian that he earned a PHD in . He served in the US Airforce during the Korean War. He was an arm wrestler, body builder , boxer and weightlifter. There is more but you should just look him up. Apparently he was also a very nice guy.
My late dad was an amatuer boxer during the 40's and loved this show so much that he enrolled me in Kung Fu school under Ark Yuey Wong in L.A. in the 70's. I settled a score with a large bully by a snap kick to his ball sack and quickly disappeared before the principal showed up.
As a kid, I used to love this show. It inspired me to learn Karate. I,m a Black Belt now and watching thi s just makes me cringe. I live in Thailand and how David died is just so sad.
@Phil Kingfil You're right. I did some research on Wikipedia about the series. He never wrote Kung Fu but apparently the idea and concept was stolen by Warner Brothers for Bruce Lee's 'The Warrior' according to Linda Lee. I never mentioned anything about racism you moron.
@@storminboy According to Bruce Lee's widow, Linda Lee Cadwell, Lee originated the concept, and was intended to star in the series, but David Carradine was cast because the network felt the American audience was not ready for an Asian actor as the lead, and Lee received no credit for his concept.
Watch Warrior on HBO max! Shannon Lee took her Dad's original treatment and they fleshed it out into a great martial arts western, really recommend it! Best show I've seen in years!
What Bruce wrote was not the same. And he never could have played the "priest" Caine as well as Carradine. I think what Bruce wrote became "The Warrior" many years later.
I did not learn my craft of self defence through teaching by a master. My skills where achieved by watching Hong Kong Phooey American animated television series.
I bought the whole series on ebay for 20 bucks - awesome! When the DVD came out in 1995, There's a extra segment where David and producers go to China and visit the great wall, Beijing and a Shaolin monestary
(first scene/chain) This was one of my favorite t.v. series to watch when I was a teenager. Notice how Caine doesn't go for the kill when his opponent is down in this particular scene? He simply defeats his enemy and goes on his way. Cruelty and malice is cowardly IMHO and only leads to more conflict in most situations.
@@horsthuhn544 ??? there's WILLIAM Smith in this Kung Fu series episode who was also Who was also Clint Eastwood's fight opponent in the Every Which Way You Can movie! :)and Will smith in Men in Black :) No Megan Fox! :)

Well done, GrassHopper...=)
Everybody was Kung fu fighting.
❤❤ 14:52 I THINK THAT HIS FIGHT WITH THE APACHE WAR CHIEF IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST FIGHT SCENES IN THE WHOLE SERIES❤
If not in all filmmaking.
One of my favorite shows
I remember so well being enthralled with Carradines Kung Fu, didn't miss an episode, the I went to see Enter the Dragon, Carradale didn't ever do it for me again.
No martial artist could have acted the role.

Extraordinaria y estupenda serie TV👏👏
Great edited choreography on all the stunts. As a teenager, was a big fan back then.
David Carradine 🌟💖
RIP David Carradine. He came as he went.
Hitting a man when he's down shortens the fight -- always remember that
