Movie Reviews of Kung Fu - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Too bad they can't make TV shows like this today
Summary: 5 Stars
Turn on the TV today and all you see is Reality (I call them Un-reality shows), game shows, sex in the city (park, garage, or anywhere else you can imagine) or crime scene investigations. The Kung Fu series and other such types of series are long gone with the past. This show was about a boy who became a real man - a man that cared for others, believed in leading a simple spiritual life, and dealt with a world filled with people who had warped ideas of what a real man was. The series was great - even my teenage kids are hooked on it. The behind the scene stuff is very interesting and the spiritual beliefs of the Shaolin Temple and Priests are inspiring. Well done production - highly recommend. Can't wait until I get the next season.Movie Review: Where can I get full-screen version?
Summary: 1 Stars
THIS is why DVD's will not be around much longer. Edited product, framed incorrectly. Why does it seem that the smaller companies, such as Blue Underground, put out beautiful product, while bigger companies completely miss the point of why people would want to own these shows. The sixties version of DRAGNET is one of my favorite shows, but when it was released on DVD, they sent it to Mexico to be produced, and many of the sets had to be returned, resulting in low sales and the unlikelyhood of any more glorious seasons. Where can I find KUNG FU's first season in a full-frame format? Thanks in advance to anyone who knows.Movie Review: Oh Boy is this dated.
Summary: 3 Stars
Embarrassing to remember how much I loved this show. Its not too bad (esp. compared to the dreck on the tube today) but very limited dramatic range.Movie Review: repetitive
Summary: 3 Stars
this show wasnt as good as i remembered it. every white person in it is an evil corrupt racist, and every chinese is a saintly opressed slave. maybe that plot would work for one or two episodes, but they basically repeated that theme throughout the entire show and the formula got pretty boring after awhile. whenever a white person came along, you kenw they would either try to beat him down, rob him, or kill him, and whenever you saw a chinese face, you knew they would be giving him water when he was down, gimme a break.Movie Review: Challenging The Occidental Mindset
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this show from the moment it hit the airways back in '72. Now some 35 years later (can it really be that long?) I'm able to enjoy it as often as I like, isn't technology amazing! While the fighting sequences seem pretty tame now by today's standards it was not the martial arts that really drew me to this show. It was the Buddhist philosophy that kept me entranced.
Who could ever get tire of listening to Master Kan (Philip Ahn) and Master Po (Keye Luke) teachings on spirituality, philosophy and the meaning of life to the young, searching Kwai Chang Caine (Radames Pera) during his years in the Shoalin monastery. These teachings and perspective on life would be exemplified by the adult Caine (David Carradine) during his travels thru the American Wild West in the mid - late 1800's.
`Kung Fu - The Complete First Season' was definitely the beginning of a landmark series that began to slowly open the Occidental world to a new way of looking at life, starting a revolution that is still going on in the hearts and minds of many today. Join the revolution!
