    • Trivia
      The CW announced in Feb. 2020 that they cast actress Olivia Liang as the female lead.
    • Goofs
      There is a stock footage sequence every week, that shows the streetscape outside the "Harmony Dumpling Restaurant" in Chinatown. There a fake San Francisco cable car in that sequence. You also hear the brassy, insistent ding of a cable car bell, being rung twice. The fake cable car is clearly a two axle motorized vehicle running on four pneumatic rubber tires. The roadway is also missing the required steel tracks as used by a real San Francisco cable car.

      San Francisco cable cars have a complicated undercarriage, and the car rides on a pair of four-wheel trucks with flanged iron wheels (no pneumatic rubber tires), designed for the cable car narrow gauge track of 3 ft 6 in (1.067 mm).

    Shame
    It is nearly 50 years, since the classic, TV series Kung Fu with David Carradine. Fifty years later the majesty of that original series is being washed away. This kung Fu states at the start, that it is based on the 1970s show, and that it is a travesty. The original changed my life, I studied Taoism philosophy, and spent forty years of my life involved in the martial arts. It changed peoples lives , and TV drama, Opening the door and making the art popular. As a new show it is soft and safe, for our "don't stir the water " age, but I found it slow and predictable. May be unfair on the first episode. If you can disregard any connection to the Carradine version, you might like it.

    Very much a safe Mulan style.

    Go watch the Original show, it is still a thought provoking watch.
