Kung Fu: The Next Generation

This movie pilot is pretty tame when it comes to the martial arts sequences. Really the only reason to watch this is to see Brandon Lee in one of his first roles. He does a little fighting but not much. The guy playing his father is pretty dull and obviously has no ability in the martial arts whatsoever. In summary, only avid Brandon Lee fans should check this out because it's pretty lame.

I have seen little from that pilot and I never wanted to see more. No wonder nobody wanted to buy it. Brandon Lee is THE ONLY things to watch in it, anyway. There's no content, no connection, nothing. Many people complain the sequel, 'The Legend Continues' did not have real martial artists. Well, apparently it doesn't work that well with martial artists, either.

I'm really really glad they decided to opt for hiring pure actors for 'Kung Fu: The Legend Continues'. If they had martial artists they'd end up making yet another martial arts series/film. The series have their imperfections, of course, but if there's anything perfect in them it was the flawless acting of David Carradine and Chris Potter and the amazing bod they had - on and off screen.

Only one person should play Caine - David Carradine! David Darlow has yet to have a successful series, he's done a lot of movies, playing big parts like "guy#3" "burglar" etc. Hopefully "True Nature" will turn his career around. I cannot believe that Brandon Lee would play in this movie since his dad was denied the part in the original series. And then for it not to get picked up. sheesh. This movie was horrible. Oh horrible to the end. It strayed so far form the movie and the series. I refuse to ever watch it again. I'm ashamed to admit I watched it once. It appeared on CBS Summer Playhouse which aired t v pilots that hadn't been picked up. I'm sooo glad it didn't.

This pilot was so bad it took them 5 years to fix it and revamp it with new actors. The revised "The Legend Continues" with Carradine and Potter was awesome.

Have this taped on VHS. Watched it for the 1st time since first taping it in 1987. Just no coherence to it at all. It's very disjointed. It wasn't thought out in advance. Very dull. The scenes don't piece together so it seems like several random scenes that are disconnected. The acting was poor from everyone. It's no wonder if wasn't picked up.

It has been a long time ago since I saw this on television. It was one of those television movies that you feel you want to watch because you watch the television series that it is based on. For a while, 'Kung Fu' was very cool, so they produced these movies for television about it in the late 1980s. None of the movies were particularly any good. They were just a lot of kung fu action and a pretty bad plot to follow. This one was just dull and I don't remember much about it, and it stumps me as to wonder why they bother making a full-length television film with a bad script. I don't remember much about it now, but I remember that it was a very dull movie to sit through and they really did flog the advertising for it on television.
