Disclaimer: I am a huge fan of Kung Fu, I even own this book, so I could go on and on.
Pilot: Young Kwai Chang waits in the rain until the Monks let him in; Kwai Chang burns the brands on his arms, stumbles out into the snow and falls face first; Kwai Chang works on the railroad, is put in the “box” as punishment, when he comes out he is peaceful and none the worse for wear, that’s when the rest of the workers see his brands and find out he is a Shao-Lin priest.
Other Episodes: I love that Kwai Chang never killed anyone, he threw them and they happened to hit their head on a rock or fall off a cliff to their death; they had a Capoeista on one episode; the ladies all loved Kwai Chang but he never got with any of them. In one episode someone found out Chang was a priest and asked what he worshiped, he gave a one word answer; “life.”
I’ll stop there.
