Grasshopper

There's been a recent remake of the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu". Sorry, you won't get me to watch it, because nothing can be better that the original series. What a creative twist on the Western genre it was. David Carradine was superb as Caine, the Shaolin monk who had fled China after the death of his spiritual master.

 

As a young novice monk he was "Grasshopper", but by the time he arrived in America Caine had become a fully realised man. Confronted with the violence and anarchy of the Wild West, Caine brings serenity and civilised humanity wherever he goes.
