ROTTEN TOMATOES: "Kung Fu: The Movie" (Finally) Looks to be Moving Forward

"Kung Fu: The Movie" (Finally) Looks to be Moving Forward

by Scott Weinberg | November 02, 2006

Remember that cool old TV show called "Kung Fu"? Nah, you're probably too young, but hey, there's a movie version on the way, and it'll be directed by The Hughes Brothers.

From Variety: "Directors Allen and Albert Hughes will square off in "Kung Fu," the bigscreen adaptation of the 1970s classic TV series for Warner Bros.-based Legendary Pictures.

The Hughes brothers, who blazed onto the scene with "Menace II Society," haven't helmed a feature since the 2002 Johnny Depp drama "From Hell.""

Click here for the rest of the story. No word yet on if David Carradine will be making a cameo appearance.

I liked menace to society when I was 13. I don't know too many 13 year olds that would give a shit about kung fu. Its amazing these guys still get jobs.

Doesn't strike me as a good idea. Leave Kung Fu for the Chinese filmakers, who definetly have an inside edge for interpreting martial arts to film art

i like the hughes brothers, and i slightly agree that an asian film maker might do a better persay, but you gotta remember, this was set in the old west for the most part. only flashbacks were in the chinese temple
