I was still a teenager when this show was first screened all those yearsago, and I am pleased to say that the show has not lost any of it'soriginal appeal. The transition to dvd is good and the overall quality isvery good. The portrayal of David Carradine as half american, halfchinese Shaolin Priest Kwai Chang Caine is excellent as he demonstrates anaivety combined with a zen like wisdom as he deals with the people andpoblems that happen along his way. He is gentle and softly spoken with anability to endure but is sometimes left with little option but to use hismartial arts skills and strategy in resolving, as gently as he can, theconflicts and prejudices he encounters. Very watchable and a highlyrecommended buy. Enjoy! This review is based on the region 1 format dvdset. Another box set to seriously consider is Shogun... anyone whoenjoyed The Last Samurai (Watanabi/Cruise version) should really enjoyShogun... made years earlier but quality viewing.
