Editorial Review: Description: He is a man of peace in a violent land. He is Kwai Chang Caine, schooled in the spirit-mind-body ways of the Shaolin priesthood by the blind avuncular Master Po and the stern, yet loving, Master Kan. Caine speaks softly but he hits hard. He lives humbly, yet knows great contentment. He is the Old West's most unusual hero. DVD Features: Audio Commentary Documentaries:"David Carradine's Shaolin Diary: Back to the Beginning" a documentary shot in China with David Carradine tracing his trip to the Shaolin Temple Monestary Amazon.com: While it may not rank with Richard Kimble's fateful meeting with the One-Armed Man in the series finale of The Fugitive, Caine's reunion with his long-lost brother, Danny, brings Kung Fu, to quote the title of the four-episode story arc's conclusion, "Full Circle." The series' rich iconography and episodes featuring returning characters may make this final season heady going for newcomers. But those who have faithfully followed Caine (David Carradine in his iconic role) on his nomadic adventures will be richly rewarded with some of the series' best episodes. The season begins with a stellar two-parter, "Blood of the Dragon," in which Caine seeks the truth about his grandfather's murder, while Imperial assassins are dispatched to kill Caine. The venerable Patricia Neal guest-stars as the grandfather's iron-willed, cold-hearted former lover. Eddie Albert also stars as a doctor who sides with Caine. Other memorable guest stars this season include William Shatner broguing it up, Scotty-style, as a sea captain who arrives with an Imperial pardon for Caine (but at what cost?) in "A Small Beheading." Barbara Hershey portrays an aspiring Shoalin priest in the two-parter, "Besieged." In "The Brothers Caine," a pre-Airplane Leslie Nielsen is a ruthless magnate who puts a $10,000 price on Danny's head, making for an awkward reunion when Danny thinks that Caine is a bounty hunter. David's father, John, returns as blind preacher Serenity Johnson in "Ambush." This season was distinguished by innovative episodes set in China during Caine's "Grasshopper" tutelage. In "The Demon God," the youth, poisoned by a prince, experiences mystical visions of his older, wandering self, who is stung by a scorpion. In "The Thief of Chendo," young Caine's Master imagines an adventure for the aspiring priest. Two Carradine commentaries, and a near-hour long chronicle of Carradine's 30-years-on visit to a Shoalin monastery in China (an incredible journey that ends with Carradine's soulful rendition of "America the Beautiful") help to give Kung Fu a worthy DVD send-off. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Kung Fu, series it wonderful to see the final episodes of this iconic show. I first watched it as a small child, and my father at the time did Wing Chun Kung Fu, so i thought that Caine was my father, or my father was Caine. It brings back so many memories. I truly love the series, but these episodes are the icing on the cake, they truly are. Rating: - COMPLETEAfter having viewed first and second season over and over again, a feeling of completion has overwhelmed me and my mind has been put to rest after the viewing of the third season. I feel some what awakened (lol) awsome Rating: - A ClassicThe first season was good, the second was great, and the third and final season made the show a legend. If you start at the beginning of this season, and I know you will, you'll be disappointed for a few episodes. They had to get their groove back or something. And then, with no gradual transition whatsoever, the writing will leap into the stratosphere and remind you why you love this show. It is simply awesome, and it isn't dated. One thing they did at the start of this ... Read More Rating:  - FineIt got here quickly and in great condition. I am happy. Personally I think the second season was not as good as the first, and the third season not as good as the second. But if you like Kung Fu, you'll still be happy. Rating: - Try it you'll liiike it...!If your a fan, you get more back stories and plot resolution. What more could you want? Also, it's easy to see why David C. left after this season. But still worth the money. Browse for similar items by category:
