Kung Fu Series David Carradine Sep 02, 2009
The TV series "Kung Fu" with David Carradine is one of the most enduring programs around, for its ability to touch the desires of most of us as humans, that we all want to live in peace without violence. It is of course but a dream in the world we live in now, so to watch something that can still move the spirit and emotions and yet be entertaining without the graphic detail so predominant in the visual media today is refreshing.
The character of Kwai Chang Caine is gentle and caring yet remains true to his course when confronted with violence and discrimination along with moral unfairness. He is strong in his personality, yet meek without arrogance. Qualities that endear him to others.
The DVD is well presented and with great picture quality and sound. Its looks great on my large screen TV. The special features are informative.
When you watch this DVD set you'll know why it proved to be such a popular TV series in its day (1970's)
I would certainly recommend it to anyone who likes the martial art's genre and to anyone who loves the idea of resolving conflict peacefully.
A MAN OF PEACE IN A VIOLENT LAND Jul 27, 2009
This is an outstanding series. If you enjoyed watching this on television ( or even if you never saw it before..) you will not be disappointed in the DVD collection. The quality of the video is excellent and the sound quality is also well above average. This series is a landmark of television creativity. What makes the series so enjoyable is observing the clash of cultures between far eastern philosophy and western pragmatism and hardship. Kwai Chang Caine is an unusual hero. Loathing violence, yet coming to the rescue of those who are thrust into it. He is often at odds with his temple training trying to understand the violent, arrogant and desperate situations he encounters. And often he has to act to stop violence before it takes the innocent. That means that he often has to use his martial arts training to defend himself or others who are faced with unreasoning brutality. But he never goes beyond what is absolutely necessary to stop the violence around him. David Carradine has an absolutely serene quality about his face which makes him perfect in the role of a priest, and his voice always soft and steady as he tries not to bring his own emotion to bear but rather to pass on the teachings of the philosophy he was trained in. Almost always he ends up making new allies and friends as he journeys, leaving people a little more enlightened about themselves and the world. There is grace and beauty in the series, a very high class production and very entertaining. One of the great joys of the series is seeing the flashbacks to Caine's formative years as he goes through his training under the wisdom ( and they are very wise indeed ) of the Shaolin Temple Masters. Seeing the strangeness and beauty and cultural variety of the social order in and around the temple makes it a fascinating series. I highly recommend the entire Kung Fu series to anyone interested in great entertainment.

great TV - timeless - still watchable Jul 20, 2009
I liked this show, and still like it, enough to buy all 3 seasons. Well made, good life lessons, etc. Much better than some of the other shows -now on DVD - that I enjoyed so many years ago, which I have recently bought (Airwolf ... ) or watched at friends house (Wild, Wild West). I would buy again (maybe, if not in a recession ... though maybe there are some 'life simplification lessons' one could learn here).
 Timeless lessons for new generations Jul 04, 2009
The series Kung Fu has been in my mind since I watched it as a boy in the 1970's. It has never been re-run here to my knowledge, and so I am so happy to be able to purchase the entire series to share with my own children. For me the stories are also new so we all have the joy of walking with Caine and reflecting on lifes lessons with wise counsel.
While I hear the criticisms of shortening and cropping, and one of my discs arrived with a scratch on it, for me the messages in the stories are the most important part. I purchased all three seasons as at the time it was the cheaper option and content according to other reviewers was the same. Thanks for the memories David.
