Kung Fu: The Legend Continues brought David Carradine’s Kwai Chang Caine into the 90s, reached nearly six million American homes within weeks and gave Carradine the weekly comeback he had chased for years.

But behind Caine’s calm exterior, the writers’ room was falling apart, unfinished episodes were coming up ten minutes short, fight coordinator Al Leong walked away over safety concerns, and the network carrying the show began to collapse.

In this episode, I dive into how Kung Fu began, why Bruce Lee was rejected, Carradine’s long road back to the role, how Michael Sloan rebuilt the series around Caine and his son, Chris Potter’s unusual casting, the troubled production, PTEN’s collapse, the fan campaign, the unofficial fifth season and the later reboots that finally placed Asian actors at the centre of Kung Fu.
