Bruce Lee came up with the series idea to star and create 'The Warrior' in 1971 for Warner. They rejected him because the presence of a Asian actor who was 5' 7" wouldn't look good in their eyes. They replaced him with David Carradine and retitled it 'Kung-Fu.' A disgrace.

I saw Carradine in many things and he was a good actor, as his brothers and father were. As a fighter, he wasn't great, but okay.

I totally agree with you on this Rick! It was Bruce Lee's vision,concept, and dream to star in the television series that he presented to Hollywood executives and in turn Hollywood decided to give the lead role to David Carrardine.
