David Carradine and Daryl Hannah reunite for the first time since their roles on the big screen in "Kill Bill" to star in the two-part original movie miniseries, "Kung Fu Killer" slated to premiere Sunday, August 17 and Monday, August 18 (10:00 PM - Midnight, ET/PT) on Spike in HD.

Set in late 1920s in China, before Communist rule, "Kung Fu Killer" tells the story of White Crane (Carradine), an orphaned son of Western missionaries who was raised as a Wudang monk to become a spiritual leader and master in martial arts, and his ultimate journey for revenge and justice.

I'm glad to see that David Carradine is working against type. Stretching like this will really increase his range as an actor.:wink1:

I love all the original shows

Yeah it probably didn't do too well (remember watching but not remembering one episode of it) considering that Kwai Chang would've been over 100 yrs old by he reached our day-n-age. .

Actually it wasn't the Original Kwaichang, but a decendant.

I thought the show was the best one to show how martial arts philosophy and technique are blended; but then Bruce Lee conceptualized it.
If you enjoyed the series, and the sequel, you'll like the movie "circle of iron" also known as "the silent flute". Again, good techniques and philosophy and a fairly good story too.
