I saw the headline of a remake of the Kung Fu TV show and I wasn't excited until I saw that it is Donnie Yen as Caine. Now my only regret is it won't be a 12 episode TV show. Perfect casting.

Love Donnie Yen; don't love the project.

I would love it more as a TV show but it's basically going to be like the Equalizer and those haven't been bad.

Well, sign me up. I don't know who this Yen guy is, but I love the King Fu show back in the day with David Carradine. Also liked the old Equalizer series. Just the last couple of weeks, watched Equalizer 2 & 3 with Denzel W. Couldn't find 1 without signing up for a streaming program.

hey,...I am a huge Kung Fu fan. One of the first shows I remember watching every week as a family.
while I agree that a series would be better in todays world it is quite possible a series comes from the movie....and if we are not so lucky, who can forget this gem we were handed for free?

He was the blind guy in John Wick 4.

Also, the IP Man series are some of the best kung fu action movies ever created.

He is definitely up there and part of the Hong Kong Holy Trinity of martial artists with Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

They used stormtroopers to build the railroads? I am so confused.

Well one of the real dangers in the old west was gunfights breaking out amongst workers so hiring these guys meant zero safety incidents for the crew.

I am skeptical. The King Fu remake series was an abomination.
