Philosophizing Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine) returns for a second season of Old West action in Kung Fu. The series, co-created by the legendary Bruce Lee, took more of a "bend like a reed" approach to martial arts than viewers might have expected: Caine practiced kung fu, but only to defend himself as he wandered the West, on the run from Chinese assassins who wanted his hide for killing the Emperor's nephew, and stalked by American bounty hunters out for a payday. Spouting Chinese wisdom from his Shaolin teacher, Master Po (Keye Luke) -- whom we see in flashbacks -- Caine brought a bit of Eastern influence to the cowboys, farmers, and desperadoes he encountered in his travels. The better episodes of Season 2 highlight what Caine did best: help the downtrodden. In "The Chalice," Caine promises a dying priest (silver screen stalwart Gilbert Roland) to return a stolen church relic, as flashbacks evoke the Catholic priest who helped Caine flee China. Jack Elam plays a farmer who becomes an outcast after marrying a Native American woman in "The Squawman"; in "The Soldier," a young lieutenant (Tim Matheson) thinks Caine was among the killers that wiped out his troop; in one of the few episodes in which Carradine speaks Chinese, "The Tong," Caine comes to the aid of a missionary woman trying to rescue a Chinese boy from slavery; and in "The Way of Violence Has No Mind," Caine is mistaken for a thief by a vindictive mine owner and almost drowned. Also in that episode, Caine's shirt is ripped off: According to Carradine's book The Spirit of Shaolin, this was done to symbolize the death of Bruce Lee. As with Season 1, the 1973-74 season of Kung Fu contains a plethora of outstanding guest stars: Carradine's father, John, and brother, Bruce; Anne Francis; Slim Pickens; John Barrymore Jr.; Diana Muldaur; Dukes of Hazzard's Boss Hogg, Sorrell Booke; Gilligan Island's "movie star" Tina Louise; future Miami Vice hotshot Don Johnson, as a young boy; and Indiana Jones himself, Harrison Ford, as an outlaw in the episode "Crossties."
