Influential series about a Buddhist monk in search of his long-lost brother in the American West of the 1870s while dodging Chinese officials after him for killing a member of the imperial family. The show earned cult status (and became much parodied) thanks to its blend of martial arts and Eastern mysticism, and a style that traded heavily on flashbacks and slow-mo fight scenes. A TV film, 'Kung Fu: The Movie,' aired in 1986 and a sequel series, 'Kung Fu: The Legend Continues,' began in 1993.
