Compared are the Series Version (German DVD Box of Season 1 by Warner and the Movie Version on iTunes


- 3 censored scenes
- Length difference: 5 sec



In 1972, David Carradine shot Kung Fu. Approx. 20 years later, the character returned in Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. The show consists of 4 seasons but the fact that there are two versions of the pilot episode appears a little weird at first glance. Except for the night club scene being censored - the dancers are wearing bras in the Series Version - there are no differences whatsoever. Odds are this scene was censored for US TV.

Interestingly enough, there is alternate footage plus two tracking shots of the night club were simply shot twice. The result: The woman are either topless or not - depending on the version.
