FAVORITE EPISODE?

An excellent episode! I also really liked "Superstition" with Caine as part of the forced labor in the old silver mine. As with "An Eye for an Eye" it turns the tables on the expected, with Caine & the other trapped miners surviving by essentially doing nothing, by waiting in stillness rather than use up their air too quickly by digging, and by trusting in the other men outside to save them. A nice example of not forcing things uselessly, rather than constantly having to be active, productive, doing something (especially when it does no good).

THE ONE WITH ALL THE KUNG FU?😕

I favor the pilot episode, aka the TV movie just called "Kung Fu."

A great scene appears near the beginning where Caine walks into a saloon after walking across a desert (!!) to get some water. Naturally some bigot wants to start a fight with him 'cause he's one of them "slant-eyes." Three times the guy attempts to attack Caine and three times Caine swiftly and decisively repels the attacks. The guy wisely decides not to attack again as Caine finishes his water and humbly walks out of the saloon leaving the patrons in astonishment.

The movie teaches humility and respect for elders & all fellow human beings. Despite the fact that they have very little dialogue, Caine develops a father/son relationship with blind Master Po.

Some scenes have such a reverent and touching quality to them that they actually brought tears to my eyes.

In Brian Garfield's "Western Films" guide he criticized this movie pilot as "Juvenile tripe." With all due respect to Mr. Garfield, this film is neither juvenile nor tripe! As far as Westerns go, it's quite mature and original. Good Eastern-style music too.

THE ONE WITH ALL THE KUNG FU IN IT.🤔

“Chains” always stuck with me.
How Caine and the brute climbed out of the flooding well back to back blew me away

I haven't watched it since I was a kid in the 70's, & I'd have to think hard to remember any of them.

Just finished Episode 6, Season 1, The Soul is the Warrior, where he saved the life of the sheriff by walking through a rattlesnake pit. Shut down a hateful old man who claimed to never having been afraid of anything.
