How a New Kung Fu TV Series Is Reclaiming Much More Than Just the Martial Arts


The makeup of the cast carries extra weight given that 
Kung Fu is a reimagining of the 1972 television show of the same name by Ed Spielman, which followed the story of the half-Chinese, half-white Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine, played by David Carradine, a white actor. The new adaptation arrives at a time when calls for an end to Hollywood’s whitewashing of roles have gotten louder. In recent years, a pattern of white actors cast as Asian characters in particular from Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One in

When Nicky returns to San Francisco three years later, she discovers that her hometown has been overrun with crime and corruption and that the local Chinatown, where her parents Jin (Tzi Ma) ....

And, apart from a title and a screen credit for Ed Spielman, who created the original series – Christina M. Kim, whose cr ....
