Kung Fu: Hollywood choose David Carradine over Bruce Lee.
12 March 2015
I am not sure how many viewers know or knew that Hollywood Producers picked David Carradine over Bruce Lee to play the lead role and to star in the series. What was their reasoning? Bruce Lee looked too Chinese! I am sure if Bruce Lee were chosen to play the role Caine, this series would have had a lot better action scenes than with Carradine, who really wasn't a Martial Artist. Bruce Lee took it hard when he was turned down. Lee traveled to Hong Kong and he made his first blockbuster martial arts movie that catapulted him to stardom overnight. Bruce Lee made 5 movies all together and they were the first superior martial art movies of the Era. As far as Kung Fu is concerned, the series is a Gem in itself. The Buddhist philosophy is well reflected by the actions or inactions Caine. Enjoy.
