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 hits hard. He lives humbly yet knows great contentment. He is the Old West's most unusual hero. But hero is not a word Caine would use. He would simply say "I am a man."Running Time: 780 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:Â 085392425020

Customer Rating:
Summary: excellent life lessons
Comment: We watch as a family and enjoy discussing the story-lines. Not gory, not violent for violence's sake.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too bad they can't make TV shows like this today
Comment: 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.

Summary: Where can I get full-screen version?
Comment: 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.

Summary: Oh Boy is this dated.
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: repetitive
Comment: 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.
