Everybody was kung-fu fighting after the 1972 premiere of this
mystic western starring David Carradine (snatching the role from Bruce Lee) in
his signature, Emmy-nominated role as Caine, a stoic Shaolin monk forced to flee
China after killing the royal family member who slew his Master. Our wandering
hero roams the west in search of his long-lost brother, while eluding American
and Imperial bounty hunters and imparting his ancient wisdom on those he
encounters and is compelled to aid.
