Umm were you asking me Jestor? I found the first season at a movie place that was going out of business
but haven't found the other two seasons yet.

...Damn it going to go look up the Bruce Lee thing.



Yes, I was asking where you had found it...:)

Yes, according to the movie "Dragon", the guy who created The Green Hornet was working with Bruce on Kung Fu....

He is the one to tell Bruce he was "too Asian", and that they were going with another actor....

Don't know the percentage of truth to "Dragon", but, im guessing around 75-80%... Since no one can say for sure, what was said, and who said it....

Regardless, its a good movie...:)

Is this the right one?
If so, here's the first 10 minutes of the first part for anyone who is interested. I assume most people know how to use YouTube, so this is more for me than it is for anyone else. :P

Occasionally, I call people "grasshopper" im homage to it...

Usually, in refrence to the "grasshopper" needing patience....

Where did you find it? On reruns, or did you buy the series?


I actually am borrowing it from my local library. I'd like to own it, but can't afford to right now.

Yes, that is right. I'm glad you're interested!


And to the rest of you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who knew of it! :D
