re: Brilliant Tv Series - Get it..
This Tv series is up there with the likes of Star Trex and Columbo,
Yes its that good. Its a martial act tv movie/series that doesn't really have that amount of fighting scenes in it. Not compared with todays ones it doesn't. However, it works. Its the story, direction and acting that make this an unforgetable TV series, and Movie!
Is an Asian drifter that is looking for his half brother. Allowing him to find his "Roots"...but meets various amounts of differing people along the way, which he helps.
Each episode gives us, or tries to instill into us worthly moral messages on how to go about living your daily life.
This show went onto change Tv Movie/shows for the better in someways. With its use of "Flashbacks, slow motion action fighting scenes, and soft lighting" - it really did allowed the viewer to get into the story.
The story lines were double excellant. And the acting was surperb.
I espeically liked the two Shaolin teachers... They made the show go above average - to excellant in my opinion. I have the Dvd 1st series here, and I am glad that I have it.
I will try and get the other 2 series...(*You should 2!)
I am glad I was around when this was in its hey day.(I was about 6 or 7 ears old! But I still rememmber it!) I think that todays shows lack the "class" that shows like Star Trek, Columbo and this.
Just think todays comparisions are:
1. Lost
2. Deseparate Housewife's
Doesn't compare does it?
Brilliant, brilliant show. And one that people/s from all walks of life still love today. Its nearly 35 years old.. Just think of that....
