Anyone coming to the Christina M. Kim (“Lost”) CW reboot of “Kung Fu” expecting a hazel-eyed David Carradine clone exploring the Old West will be greatly surprised. In 1971, Bruce Lee pitched the unique concept of a Chinese immigrant endowed with supreme martial-arts skills roaming the American West after the 1870s San Francisco Tong Wars. Television executives balked at the idea of an Asian lead, and then cast Carradine a year later in his breakout role as Kwai Chang Caine an orphaned son of an American man who is trained at a Shaolin Monastery in the martial-arts, and ventures to America following the death of his mentor in the original series “Kung Fu.”
