I’m sure by now most of us at least can recognize the face of the man known as Bill from Kill Bill movies. But when I was a kid I used to watch TV series from the 70s when TV shows back then were cool only and only to audiences of that era. That’s why when… I watch Nick at Nite nowadays sometimes I go, “why did we even used to like these shows?!” Anyways, one of my favorite shows was KUNG FU starring none other than David Carradine.
The Shaolin monk walking the wild west, running from the bounty hunters and constantly getting himself into situations where he would have to use martial arts to defend the weak and the oppressed.
I remember he pressed his forearms against this boiling pot and he got those cool lookin’ marks. I thought, “Man! Forget tattoo needles! I’m just gonna do that!
He always had his flute with him even in the 90s version “KUNG FU: The Legend Continues”
Okay back to the present time. The reason why I took you down to my memory lane is because they’re going to make a movie version of KUNG FU. You can say that again!
Kwai Chang Caine will be on the big screen beating the hell out of bad guys and at the same time still be fast enough to catch a knife that’s thrown at him.
They haven’t decided yet on who’s going to play this famous role that Bruce Lee lost to David Carradine.
But it seems like Max Makowski will be the director for KUNG FU the movie.
Rama’s SCREEN will keep you updated on who’s going to get to play Caine and when the movie will be released and other stuff along the way.
For the time being, here are the clips of the original KUNG FU TV series and its 90s version.
