Book Reviews of Kung Fu Book of CaineBook Review: Fans of the series must have this book Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: Kung Fu, Caine, and David Carradine Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic book if you liked the TV series in the 70's, Kung Fu. Or if you would like to learn about it and then watch the show. The author interviewed Carradine and others, has a summary and comments about each episode. Sometimes the masters are quoted, as flashbacks into Caine's life at the temple--these teachings guide him throughout the series. Many comments add to the understanding of the episode and a section on Kung Fu, the Next Generation, and Kung Fu, the Legend Continues. There are many b/w photos to enjoy.
Book Review: CAINE REVISITED Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a fan, it's a must...if you're just curious, it's quite interesting and entertaining. This book gives you all the background on the creation of the series, it's making, the ending and what came after. If you are currently watching the series on DVD, it's fun to read the story of each episode before viewing. The only thing that's missing here are more anecdotes from the shooting of the series, such as the ones David Carradine talks about on the DVD series. Certainly worth the price!
Book Review: A must have for all Kung Fu fans! Summary: 5 Stars
If, like me, you are a fan of the Kung Fu TV series, you will want this book. It is a sort of guide to the series. Each episode is outlined in good detail, and reveals behind the scenes ideas and intentions of the writer(s). It also says when each episode aired, who the guest stars where, like Don Johnson at 15! which happens to be one of my favorite episodes, in which he plays a young Indian boy. Anyone with the TV series in their library, should also have this book along side them.
Book Review: A MUST FOR "KUNG FU" FANS! Summary: 5 Stars
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!
