5.0 out of 5 stars Kung Fu a tv series really worth watching!!, 25 April 2004
By 
G. McMASTER "mcmaster101" (Hull, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Kung Fu - Season 1 [DVD] (DVD)
I was still a teenager when this show was first screened all those yearsago, and I am pleased to say that the show has not lost any of it'soriginal appeal. The transition to dvd is good and the overall quality isvery good. The portrayal of David Carradine as half american, halfchinese Shaolin Priest Kwai Chang Caine is excellent as he demonstrates anaivety combined with a zen like wisdom as he deals with the people andpoblems that happen along his way. He is gentle and softly spoken with anability to endure but is sometimes left with little option but to use hismartial arts skills and strategy in resolving, as gently as he can, theconflicts and prejudices he encounters. Very watchable and a highlyrecommended buy. Enjoy! This review is based on the region 1 format dvdset. Another box set to seriously consider is Shogun... anyone whoenjoyed The Last Samurai (Watanabi/Cruise version) should really enjoyShogun... made years earlier but quality viewing.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Scan" version of a great tv production... Shouldn't we be warned?, 4 Sep 2008
By 
This review is from: Kung Fu - Season 1 [DVD] (DVD)
Although this is a fine series and an excellent return to an influential icon when I was a kid (everyone was dodging Indian arrows and oriental influences at school...) I'm angry with the fact that the picture has been "zoomed", and therefore damaged, to fit a full 16:9 screen. I find this a true insult to the original format and a very bad service to the people who worked to get their vision on the screen way back then. As a customer, I strongly feel that there should be a clear warning about this. Bad form.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant TV, 3 Feb 2007
By 
Ben Lockwood (Thurso, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kung Fu - Season 1 [DVD] (DVD)
The original showing of Kung-fu pre dates me and for years I didn't know where the 'grasshopper' reference came from. When I picked up Kung-fu I instantly saw why this was such the legend it was. Each episode is packed with just the right mix of action and story with frequent words of wisdom that are easy to take to heart. All potential proverbs in their own right.

Kung-fu does not strike me as OVERLY dated at all compared to some things. Although in one episode (either this series or the next) contains a scene with a raven that I'll never forget, it was so ridiculously fake and the wires/string were easily visible. The fight scenes aren't quite as hectic as modern shows have either but when Caine beats his arrogant foe it still leaves you with a smile on your face. Kung-fu makes you feel good time and time again and I think everyone who has ever seen it has, at one point in their lives, wanted to be Kwai Chang Caine. And quite rightly so.

Well worth the money for this wonderful classic that deserves all the praise it receives.
