So-so at best. He accidentally fell into the Kung Fu role when Bruce Lee died. Lee had it under development but when he died, Warner Bros took it over and never gave Lee any credit. Carradine was picked even though he was a novice martial arts fighter at best. Warner Bros said they already had the Kung Fu idea in the works but Carradine said it was Lee's baby.
Back then, most Americans had never heard of oriental martial arts, even after Lee's successes. Lee hadn't been in a prime time western series that were so popular then. Kung Fu was brand new to most people and they loved it whether Carradine was adept or not.

I wonder if he and Pat Morita will do another remake.
They were wonderful together.

I think a lynch mob got to him. He was too close to the truth about Q.
He was good in the apple dumpling gang though.

He was good in the apple dumpling gang though. Q just got busted for SWATTING over 100 people. They charged him as an adult.

It's early, but this thread is all over the map about people that have been gone for some time. Making me feel old.
