Greg Dawson Orlando Sentinel 07/19/2019
The whole production has a cheesy, cut-rate look to it, and some of the sorriest bit players to hit the screen since the bad cast of Saturday Night Live in the '80s. Go to Full Review Chris Willman Los Angeles Times 07/19/2019
Plays like a Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker parody of the old Kung Fu; the totally unconvincing slow-motion shots of the no-longer-boyish Carradine knocking down rows of villains and leaping over moving vehicles--all set to New Age music--couldn't be funnier. Go to Full Review Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune 07/19/2019
In the original Kung Fu, the combination of mystic philosophy and kung fu fighting attracted a cult following. The effect of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues on those cultists will be similar to being kicked in the teeth by an old lover. Go to Full Review Steve McKerrow Baltimore Sun 07/19/2019
Will all of this find an audience in the modern TV firmament? It depends on how many fans of the old show find a satisfying connection to the original Kung Fu. The sequel offers the same sort of hooey. Go to Full Review David Hiltbrand People Magazine 07/19/2019

The premise doesn't work all that well in a contemporary setting. That's not Carradine's fault. As Caine, he's still able. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
