The series Kung Fu was a really great show. David Carradine gave a real honesty to the character of Kwai Chang Caine. The movie was good. Brandon Lee brought an intensity to the movie also. This was a good example of the original series AND it folloewd the show... not any other martial artist's idea. It could have been a little more exciting, but all in all it was worth watching and that is why I gave it FOUR STARS!

After the tv series, with the same title and actor & character a movie its not as good as the tv series. The story is very slow. There should be some more suspence & action full movements. David Carradine seemed a super human. Its very far from real life. He should make film like his tv series.

As has been pointed out, whatever it's flaws, this movie DOES nicely "wrap up" several plot threads from the original Kung Fu Series. That being the case, and with the whole Series now out on DVD, why no release of this one except on VHS Tape?

I'm not aware who owns the rights to this film, but someone needs to make a suggestion to them, please?

For me this was a rare find. I already own the entire DVD collection of David Carradine's performances in his Kung Fu TV series. Wish it was available on DVD. This story helped act as a bridge and partial summation for the entire series preceding this production. Answers a few questions, and of course leaves much open to be questioned. I was very happy to see it available.

This was the perfect conclusion to the series of the same name. It carried the same actors and story line to a conclusion that could have been a new beginning to the series. Set the the old West with an unusual hero the series and the movie gives viewers a look at a culture that has been all but wiped out by the history of China.

There is no one of my generation having grown up in the 70's who does NOT know who "Caine" is. And for this movie to take place is a testimony that the character could not fade away; which later lead the 2nd generation tv series in the modern era. YOU MUST HAVE THIS movie.

I loved this follow-up to the Kung Fu Tv series! It's a great follow-up to the beloved 70's program They need to release this on DVD! And Kung Fu: The Legend Continues too!

Brandon Lee is a very great martial artist, and as much as a role he had in this film it was enough to light up the screen and create a wonderful movie, I am a martial artist and have studied the martial arts my whole life just to be like my idol...Brandon Lee.

Caine is still wanted and kindly widow
also wants info on slain husband who
once befriended him. Followed by Carradine
as Caine again in Fourth Kenny Rogers
Gambler movie with Reba McEntire (1991),
then in Kung Fu: The next generation, film-
ed in Toronto for three years, 1993-96.

I liked the film, although Brandon Lee (one of my favourate martial arts performer) did not appear so often in the film. D. Carradine was great.
