Όσοι έβλεπαν στην τότε ασπρόμαυρη τηλεόραση τον μοναχικό Shaolin που περιφερόταν στην Άγρια Δύση, θα θυμούνται με δέος την τελική σκήνη μύησης του Kwai Chang Caine με το κάψιμο του Δράκου και της Τίγρης στα χέρια του. Δείτε το απόσπασμα από την τελετή από το πρώτο επεισόδιο της σειράς, έτσι να θυμούνται οι παλιοί, και να απορούν οι νέοι . . :)
For those of you who watched back in the 70'ies, the lonely Shaolin priest wandering through the Wild West, here is the most memorable scene of the whole series, the final ritual of 'tattooing' the Dragon and Tiger in his hands from the pilot in the first season. Enjoy!

What a wonderful tv series....in my humble opinion, one of the best from the 1970s.
THE best!

Sure was
One of the best role models ever created...quiet, humble, honest, peaceful and deadly.
This is one of the most magical scenes in all of American TV. Branded into our souls like the dragon and tiger were into his arms.
Agreed

Η καλύτερη σκηνή της σειράς αυτής! Μου έχει μείνει από μικρός όταν το είχα δει τότε!
Such a fantastic and excellent show. Each episode taught the viewers a grand lesson and it gave you hope. There will never ever be a show like this in our lifetime. Bravo
Sad that it was stolen from Bruce Lee...
@@brucenye6137it was never stolen from Bruce Lee...one of the producer’s wrote the idea for the story...P.S...what could ever be stolen from the Genius of Bruce Lee ?
This show had the best Bullshido, but there is always Glee, or Fame, or Welcome Back Kotter........or Mork and Mindy..........or The Andy Griffith Show
This show inspired me to study the martial arts and 46 years later I'm still at it
Me too i started in 1985
This is year 41 for me.
Have you had to use it?
I almost did afew times but talked my way out of trouble each time..its much tougher to i get back out of trouble than it is to get into it
@@senseichess8688 Spoken like a true Master honestly, i was thinking u would say yes i whooped this and that
I grew up as a student of traditional Chinese martial arts in the 1970s when this series aired. In my opinion, the fight choreography was not always the best, and I often wonder how fight scenes would have benefited from having Bruce Lee involved. Unfortunately, Lee's strong Asian accent and appearance was considered too "Chinese" and he was passed over for the role of Caine. Nuts.
That said, the temple flashback scenes still impress me to this day and are my favorite part of each episode. The life lessons of temple life that the young Caine experienced transcend the martial arts aspect of the series, and are still very relevant today.
Such an iconic scene! You never forget it after seeing it.
Yes ,indeed
Whenever I feel alone in anything I remember this scene when all the masters show their brands to make Kwai Chang realize he is not alone! Powerful!
Yes INDEED , we aren't ALONE in this journey
1:25 Such a heartwarming moment.
I wish some TV network would have the balls to rebroadcast the entire series. This is the best television ever aired.
What would the networks be afraid of?
@@stefanlefco1750 Truth and awareness.
Make it a double block with M*A*S*H.
H&I did a few years ago.
They could rebroadcast it but there would need to be modifications. Cane would have to be transexual. And Master Po and Master Kan would have to be gay lovers. The whole social agenda of the show would have to have a huge makeover.
When I was in my early twenties and had started martial arts ,this show was practically my mentor .I never missed an episode.
Kung Fu awakened in me when I was 12 almost half a century ago the interest in eastern spirituality, the monastery scenes, the music, and the teachings from the monks, simply incredible! I have the DVD collection of the series and a book with detailed explanation of each episode, there’s another book with all the spiritual sayings that would be cool to have. This scene is iconic! Thank you!
Very beautiful and helpful THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Fascinante, me encantaría obtener los DVD y el libro, si puede ser compartido, talvez puede apoyarle para obtenerlo, se lo agradecería mucho en verdad,
@@adolfomartinez989 My DVDs and book are in storage. You can stream the series. Also on RUclips there’s a few channels dedicated to the series with multiple snippets for free.
"Good bye, old man, my master." "What do you hear?" "I hear the grasshopper." Master Po smiles, then leaves.
Master Kan was kind of a frosty, icy dip whereas his blind Master Po was a kinder and warmer guy...like a sweet Grandpa which is what Caine needed. Man, I miss this show so much...gosh, we have fallen as a society in such a short, short time.
And we haven't hit the bottom; that's the scary part.
chrispmis the worst is yet to come. I love that show too . I watched it as a teenager.
That was Master Khans job to be the disciplinarian and to help the students to reach a high level. Po was the balance side of khan!
@@ethanvonessen2853 The Yin and The Yang. ☯️
Master Khan was just as wise though and always gave great advice to Caine!
A great TV show from a great era in popular culture, where the audience was given some credit for having something on the ball. :)
for those of us who did not have happy childhoods this show represented hope!
I humbly agree
jaim haas I humbly agree
jaim haas although your comment is a year old, if you read this response could you explain why the show symbolized hope? I watched this show as a child in the seventies and I never got a sense of hope from it. KCC was running for his life when he escaped to America from China. For me, this show always represented knowing right from wrong and standing up for the weak and down trodden. Cain always faced evil head on when it could not be avoided. Peace and submission were always the preferred ways until the bad guys went too far. And then Cain showed them the error of their ways. For me, this show was about true justice.
If you disciplined yourself and lived a selfless life hope came to you.
This showed personified racism. And our fears of anything different.
This is the coolest scene of the whole series.
Yes, all of his training led to this. Now it is his time to leave Shaolin and impart his wisdom (and other things) to others.
This best show ever! I watched this show when I was 12 and always wanted to have the burns of the "Kung Fu Monk" on my forearms. R.I.P David Carradine, you were my Shaolin Master that I have lived my life by. Peace be with you.

I happened to walk in on this scene when I was around 9 years old and it blew my mind for YEARS.
Me too!
Mine as well .. seared into my brain permanently since I was six years old ..
One of the most astonishing pieces of acting I have seen. I could swear that cauldron was red hot when he picks it up.
Still love this show, i was 10 yrs old, it was the start of my martial arts journey
This was Truly a great show that I loved as a kid and adult
It certainly was. Not even close to a show like this on tv now.
I watched this when it first came out, Five lifetimes ago.
Me too
i also grew up on this tv show,thank god i was born 1965
I was a 12 year old English school boy when Kwai Chang appeared in Kung Fu on TV. I developed the desire to be a shaven headed monk, learning from wise masters like him. Four years later at 16 I joined the Hare Krishna's and shaved my head. Now 50 years later, I'm still a monk and I'm living in a holy place in India. I have much to thank the producers and actors of this production!
Why do they call themselves hairy if they shave their heads?
@@vangroover1903He wasn't talking about Hairy Potter
@@blinkenschnaag777 Aaaah, right. Makes sense, thanks.
Incredible Cast and Crew and The Soundtrack, Stellar performances, All The Way Around
"What do you hear?"
"I hear the grasshopper."
The circle is now complete.
grasshopper is the nick name that master called the monk
This has got to be the most amazing scene in Kung Fu ever just absolutely brilliant and I have seen the entire movie plus the television series Kung Fu The Legend Continues on Sky 1 during the late 90's and it got me interested in Shotokan Karate and I made it to Black Belt 3rd dan and this program enspired me to take up Martial arts and now I am a expert so many thanks to David Caradine RIP.
A man of peace that fights like 10 tigers. 😁
RIP David Carradine
He went out coming..;}
Still a lot of mystery surrounding his death.
He’s still hanging around.
Love the scene in the series pilot, when other Chinese in America recognize these marks and they are all stunned.
Wherever there is good, wherever there is justice, Kwai Chang Caine will always be there.
This was my favorite movie, i always watched it with my late father 40 years ago
Wonderful!
Great series, and it came at the right time for me (high school). Cain was a man of peace, surrounded by a new world, The wild west.
Leaving the temple by snatching the peble, was a fatal mistake. Going out in the world he faced consequences by getting in to very big trouble comitting crimes starting with the Royal Nephew.
In his prime, having reached the threshold of applying a disciplined understanding, Kwai Chang departs the temple. A permanent condition not marked by remorse, but genuine affection from his masters. We know this because he's marked for the tigers strength, the dragons wisdom and a slight smirk from Master Po suggesting a foxes cunning. The type of cunning that a few well placed whispers to colleagues delivers Kwai Chang's ascension into the winter, where his burns are soothed in the snow. ("See you around kid.")~Po
Goodbye old man , my master ☺ beautiful !
Legend is the urn supposedly weighed 500lbs. Awesome show, thanks for the memory.
Sheeeesh the memories from childhood.......powerful stuff.
Goodbye old man. My master.
I don't know why but those words are so deep.
It's probably because we know that he spent many years under Master Po's tutelage, that he was very close to Master Po, that it's much because of Master Po that he became the man he was here, and that now, he's going out on his own, perhaps, for all he knows, never to see Master Po again.....
This scene showed me the importance of oven mitts.
heheh
The monks obviously never had a Health & Safety officer.
Good comment 🤣🤣
what if he cheated
@@erickort1987 how could he do that?
And Caine is like, 'I'd rather just stay here, good chow, out of the weather, plenty of candles...'
I used to watch this show in the seventies when it was still in production fifty years ago.
As a wise man bows his head his spirit rises to say what his words will not.
The wise man travels with his head bowed. Humble. Like the dust....
Taking nothing, leaving no steps
Not good for the neck bones and muscles to have head bowed all the time.
@@robertdevoy3119 Find lost change that way.
humility is one of the great virtues of life.

Not one man, Caine included, doubted his ability to descend the mountain temple. Each step he took was peaceful, quiet, and measured.
I think they should bring back the old show s of kung-fu they teach our kids values and the world may not so violence mans going destroy himself if things don't change

They cant bring it back. All the millennial would complain out toxic masculinity, being triggered, and the fight scenes glorify rape

I always like this show for it's color, lighting, and photography, sometimes the plots too.
I love the old man. Someone chalk full of wisdom.
Chock full of words...some clear but some puzzling.
The writers gave Po great scripts and he delivered them flawlessly.
Kind of like the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.
@@johnnypastrana6727 being puzzled is the beginning of wisdom
I always thought that it was so kind for the temple to plan the graduation in winter snow so that the grad could get immediate relief after that fiery brand.
For sure!
That was just dumb luck.
He could have just as well grabbed the coin during the summer solstice.
Yeah, but then he had to walk barefoot through the snowy valley. Frostbite, here we come!
Could've always presented the pebble during winter, but that was my thought too. He steps outside and "Damn, it's summer."
I remember this scene from when I was a child. It was buried in my deep memories and weirdly resurfaced today
An iconic initiatory scene, the Green Dragon and the White Tiger conjoined in the Furnace of the Dantien to reify the Golden Cinnabar Elixir.
As a boy in the 70's this scene inspired me to take lessons in Lau Gar Gong Fu with a Chinese teacher.
Yes that is wonderful. I was instructed by a Buddhist friend in college in the art of tai chi chuan. Now in my 70’s doctors are amazed at my balance and core strength. Thanks to my friend who taught me well.
Good clip, I watched that TV when I was young.
As long as your mind remembers how it is to be a kid, you'll never be old! I still feel young, even if my body does not agree, LOL!
i remember watching this as a little kid in the afternoon
I wonder if this would be made now in that way? How many people would be stupid enough to end up burning their arms trying that out at home?
Me too
The brilliance of a time past and stars that I gazed upon in my childhood. Unforgotten Grasshopper.
Kids of today need to be taught respect like this. To care for people and not to steal just because they have what you have not !
I've always liked this show for its photography.
I think of this scene every time I have to move the baptism font at work.
I saw this on my mom and dad's TV. 1976 and I was in the 7 th grade.
Maravilhosa cena de uma grande iniciação Shaolin de uma série realmente magnífica. O maior dos guerreiros não é aquele que vence os outros, mas a si mesmo.
There’s things about that show that I’ve actually helped me in my adult life.
@Hammerschlägen M I had parents and teachers, but this show taught me things no one ever told me. And this really helped me.
I would say it's the shaolin,martial arts philosophy behind it all that's been there for hundred's and thousands of years.
there is a book that might be of interest it's called, TAO OF JEET KUNE DO by BRUCE LEE. NOW Bruce Lee didn't write the whole book,only parts of it and his wife Linda Lee Cadwell wrote the other part.Bruce Lee had died so that's why his wife finished it.Its more of a book about Bruce Lee s, philosophy on JEET KUNE DO but you might pick up a copy and learn something from it.
Can you imagine taking that test during the summer months when there is no snow outside? I hope the guy could find a stream near by!
What are the best martial art TV shows of all time. The show had wisdom, philosophy, and culture
Great scene from the Pilot of Kung Fu. One of the Best Shows on television.
This has inspired me to live the quiet life and interact with others like Caine did. I am a being of spirit hoping to learn and care for others through my recovery work and personal life. No more living from a egofied existence.
I'm struggling with health related anxiety so I'm emotionally frail
We would watch this then Kung Fu each other at school, I remember drawing dragons and tigers on our fore arms with red ink pens, yes the good ole days it were.
"Grasshopper, you leave us barefoot, in the snow, with two third degree burns.. Good luck"..
What a deal...
The burns are what kept him warm on his journey.
More drama.
He probably went back in through the front door, got himself fixed up and then got his affairs together.
Up hill all the way!
Man even though Bruce Lee was supposed to play this part it was his script it worked out very well need more cerebral shows like this instead of all the shows trying to indoctrinate to the gay agenda.
I can only imagine the pain of how it must have felt, to feel the intense heat, as the markings on either side of the small grill burned their way into his arms, tattooing him permanently with the markings of the Shaolin Priesthood.
There is another pain seen here, although it is not mentioned.
The pain of, in his own way, having to say goodbye to his Master, Master Po, whom he loved like a Father, just as he did Master Khan.
Then, it was outward, and onward, to a new life.....
I'd be watching some childish girly TV show and my teenage older brother would come into the room and yell "get out of here little girl! I'm going to watch Kung Fu". So I started appreciating the show at 8.
Loved this series. On Saturdays about 7pm approx? mid to late 1970s. Brilliant.
This is how I have to turn off my alarm clock in the morning.
Lol.
+john deaux Good one.
Hehehe....
Yeah.The alarm clock announces the beginning of "the daily BURN"!
Esta serie me marco para siempre el Tigre y el Dragon en mi espíritu hasta el dia de hoy cumplo 60 años el proximo mes, llevo una vida moldeada por mi naturaleza espiritual lejos del mundo pero atento a su existencia
Great... In my childhood that was on TV. Why there is nothing like this today on TV....???
Marcus Hinze because we rule back then not now with these stupid shows we got now
+Marcus Hinze, _Kung Fu: The Legend Continues_ was on the air from 1993-1997; that show was just as good as the original. And not every show has to be like Kung Fu, either.
What shsows are stupid now? Give me a good list.
Marcus Hinze kids today want GTA and Fortnite shit.
Like naked and afraid.. lol
When I took martial arts classes years ago, our sensei spoke of how when he was in training as a young man, his master would have them practice with a short staff called a "jo" and perform kata (choreographed pattern of movements made to be practiced alone, and also within groups). His master would have them practice the form outside in the snow so they would learn more quickly. They learned the movements in no time at all.
very cool...in more than one meaning.
Kung fu is comming back stronger.then before it wants too live .
Looking at the scalding pot Caine was thinking... "damn, I should have drank my cup of tea first, like all those other boys."
used to look forward to this back in 1973 each week ,plus six million dollar man ..good times
was my favorite program when i was a kid
Grasshopper contacted HR human resources to make a report on 3rd degree burns
Then The federal occupation and health department got involved the the series canceled
He called OSHA : )
It was great. These sequences were my favorites.
Achievement and sadness at reaching the end of his training becoming a master also but losing the closest friend and father figure in his life .
What really happened is that they put out the wrong metal container, and Caine goes the rest of his life with "Hibatchi" on both arms................
They need more movies like this
In the real temple, as I understand, the Quon Yin Monastery (San Soo, not Shaolin) the whole hallway was a trial. There was the rice paper, but they had it rigged so arrows, hatchets, etc. would fly out. It was a long and arduous test. The urn was at the very end. Once lifted and moved its weight triggered the gate so it would open. I don't know that they do this in a Shaolin Temple or if they ever did. That was northern style while San Soo is southern style.
Hmmm. Great trivia to those who never knew, including myself.
It's in the Shaolin Mountains, hence the name.
As a massage therapist I can tell you that burning your skin and searing your fascia to brand your flesh is incredibly counter productive to musculoskeletal-tissue health. He wouldn't have even been able to spear a block of tofu with a chop stick for weeks.
Of course, he's a shaolin and can transcend physical pain and yada yada....
You should tell the world! Cheesy 'massage therapist'. right.

A test of endurance and resistance against pain; first extremely hot to burn the Shaolin symbole on his arms, then extreme cold awaits Caine outside the temple, barefoot he
threads on snow confronting a desolate icy environment wearing only his temple clothes
Ancient meditative training of separating mind from body. Takes years of meditation to achieve as I’ve read numerous times. Caine had reached that level at this point in his training as you have mentioned in your thread about having to endure one extreme then having to endure the polar opposite.
If that was me, I'd have been banging my fists against the door yelling where's my snow boots and goose down parka jacket.
The pilot show and season 1 were amazing!
This show, for the first time, opened up the eastern thought process to our generation. The western way of thought is completely based on a different line of reasoning. It lead me to the study of Taoism. After studying Taoism for a long time I began to realize how closely related the teachings of Jesus and Buddha are. Read or watch the lectures of Alan Watts. They are on RUclips.
Thanks for all wisdom and honor of this show for if you were not paying attention you have lost
Bin 55 und hab diese Szene heute noch im Kopf. Toller Film damals gewesen. War eine schöne Zeit. Schade wie er gestorben ist.
As Confucius say: always have oven mitts at hand. 🙏
A little hokey now, but almost stunning when the program first aired.
From a time when TV didn't suck......
I like learning kung-fu from childhood because of Kwai Chang Caine.
I remember seeing this part when I was very young. Everyone laughed because I kept saying "OUCH! DON'T DO IT! OUCH! DON'T DO IT!" LOL 2:46
Classic TV series that was exiting to watch!!!
Always loved the symbiology of the moment when the gates close, and the only way out is to move the burning cauldron. basically saying you must choose to sacrifice to go forward as theres no way back now
When you snatch the pebble from my hand you may leave!

"It is time for you to leave" Master Kan
Time for you to leave ☯️
Was it important for him to leave ? The master new ?
It was his time.
If only Master Po could meet Mr. Miyagi, that would be a wonderful conversation.
I forgot about the first time I saw name Mr. Miyagi, but recalled it on Cobra Market View where someone used the name and picture as a handle in the blog.
Kung Fu was cancelled -- David Carradine never had martial arts training and, according to factsverse, David quit the show due to too many sustained injuries.
Never learned to fall well.
Loved him as his own son master PO ☺
i always loved the flashbacks
