The third and final season of the great Kung Fu series, in which Kwai Chang finally finds his long lost brother. The quality of the the DVD images is excellent. This set includes episodes that were not distributed earlier on the VHS tapes.
My only minor criticism would be that what should be the final episode of the series comes before several other episodes that are more like flashbacks, which I was not expecting. I would have re-arranged the order of these to make more sense, putting the final episode last.
A bonus on the DVD set is commentary from David Carradine himself, in which he voices over scenes of the final episode and reminisces about the series. He sounds a bit flippant or perhaps mildy intoxicated, but it is nonetheless a plus.
Overall, well worth the cost to any serious fan of Kung Fu.
I love this series, it's not just all beat 'em ups, they actually make you think. There are a lot of important life lessons in these tails, a thing I think a lot of the new shows pass up on for the wow factor today. The third season is a bit more edgy than the previous two though, a lot of hallucination and weird imagry type shows. You can certainly tell the show was getting bigger though with cameos by bigger stars, like William Shatner, Jose Feliciano, and Barbara Hershey just to name a few. If anything the third season leaves you wanting more because of the way it ends, but alas this is what we got, the rest is left to imaginantion.
We (my husband and myself) now owns all the seasons of Kung Fu. My husband can not, at times get enough of this show because of all the great values that are represented in this program. It was a pity that they took it off the air so early and that they do not have more shows like this on television now a days. I would recommend it to one and all.
I recently found the dvd site, from a family member that has purchased several items from ebay. We live in a small town and do not have daily access to the stores to just be able to go in and browse. So this is very good for me. As i really like buying movies, The movie that i purchased is a complete season of a show that i watched years ago. I was thrilled to find it on ebay. and have bought to different sets from this site. I am new to the world of computers so i`m just starting to look around on it. ebay has been a great site for me to start on. I have only made a couple of purchases online, but it is a good place to look to get ideas. and like me you may come across some thing that you didn`t even know was out there.
EXCELLENT DVD SET, NOW WE HAVE THE COMPLETE COLLECTION ! I LOVE THE JOURNYS HE TAKES IN LIFE, THE LESSONS HE LEARNS. A LOT BETTER THAN THE MOVIE OF TODAY! THANK YOU !!!
What can be said about Kung Fu. It is a classic unlike no other. I am glad it finally cam e out on DVD. YOu can watch further adventures on the follow up series that aired on TNT Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. It is out also and there are 4 seasons more to enjoy. A must for all David Caradine fans.

Chew, If Only You Could See What I've Seen With Your Eyes

Pros: High production values, talented guest stars, thought provoking Shaolin philosophy.
Cons: Silly supernatural events are overused as a plot device.
I always remember that scene from Blade Runner with Rutger Hauer (as the android Roy Batty) and James Hong (as eye maker Hannibal Chew) whenever I see James Hong. The reason I mention that is, I've seen too much of James Hong in Kung Fu. He appears in EIGHT out of 60 episodes, portraying a different character each time. Was there a shortage of actors who look Asian, or was the mentality of the producers "they all look alike to caucasians, they'll never know it's the same guy." ? Hawaiian actor Clyde Kusatsu appears in four episodes as four different characters. I guess it's easier to notice...
