As a fan of Kung-Fu I am of course delighted to have this third and final 24-episode season on DVD. I must warn people however that this third season does not conclude the series as such, and also that it does stray somewhat from the original style -- by that I mean, it has more fighting, and when scenes change from the west to Caine's past in China it just cuts straight.

But it does dwelve deeper into the past, and some episodes are set entirely in the past. Caine finally meets his brother Danny, during a four-part story which features Leslie Neilsen as the top bad guy. Season three features also a storyline which deals with this dark clan of fighters out to avenge the death of the Emperor's nephew, and some of the themes and images make me wonder if George Lucas had based "Star Wars" on it. Oh, and William Shatner also guest-stars, as a sea captain.

I found the case a little cheap. One of the plastic holder plates fell off. On the plus side the discs come out much easier. And I was delighted by the last bonus feature which is done like a short film, sending the actor and two friends on a trip through China to visit the Shaolin temple. Some humorous results make it an entertaining watch for Carradine fans.

This is the beginning of David Carradine's career as a mystic & a priest. It contains more knowledge & wisdom of the Tao which still can be applied in today's society.
