Product Description: The complete guide to the incredibly popular 1970's TV series Kung Fu features facts about the series previously unavailable to fans and provides in-depth background information, photographs, and episode-by-episode summaries. Carradine tells his thoughts on the Kung Fu phenomenon.
Fans of the series must have this book The book gives a basic overview of the series without getting bogged downed with actor biographies, it sticks right to the series. Included in the book is an overview of every episode of all three seasons including a plot summary and listing of the main actors. It also explores the relationships of the characters to one another especially Caine and his teachers Master Kan and Master Po. A fantastic book that I used extensively as I rewatched the series (all three of the seasons are now available on DVD). An excellent companion to a fantastic show.
Excellent TV Series...and Book! When this TV show was originally being aired on ABC back in the early 1970's I was a teenager and never watched it.
But several years later in the late '70's while at college in California, reruns were being shown on some station out there in L.A. - and I became hooked.
The flashback scenes with Masters Po and Kan are FANTASTIC, teach insightful lessons of life to live by, and really are the essence of the show.
Pilato's "Kung-Fu Book of Caine" is an absolutely tremendous supplement to the series, and with all the interesting background information he provides, one can appreciate the show even more.
Yesterday I was even inspired to purchase the recently-released DVD of the first two seasons of "Kung-Fu" here on Amazon [...]
Kung Fu -- The Book of Caine What a terrific way to re-live and reminisce about the great old days of the original Kung Fu TV show. The book gives a very interesting behind-the-scenes look at the creative and talented writers and actors who worked on the show, and follows with an episode-by-episode synopsis. The book, like the TV show, leaves you wanting more, so I can only hope that more will become available soon. In the meantime, the Book of Caine is a nice addition to any fan's collection.
A MUST FOR "KUNG FU" FANS! This book has it all: a show by show guide, photographs, and more pertaining to the best television program ever. I have even more love towards the show after reading this book!
