I read somewhere that after performing in this 1991 scene as Caine, David Carradine was inspired to revive the character for another series, which eventually became Kung Fu: The Legend Continues in 1993.
Could possibly have been an M1905 or earlier model and even if it was a M1911 there were earlier models that could have been used if the prop had gone to the effort. So like the poster above I say give them a pass.
I agree with the people here who said that Carradine should have never done these scenes. He probably shouldn't have acted in "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues" either. He just couldn't handle the action scenes physically anymore(16 years later). The scenes were pretty corny, anyway. His last great movie appearance was in the "Kill Bill" movies and by that time he had left all the physical scenes to other actors.
Actually, the last appearance of the original Kwai Chang Caine was on an episode of "Kung Fu: the Legend Continues." Most of the episode takes place in the late 1800's. Caine is married now and has a son. He gets shot and is near death, but, through meditation, transports himself into the future where 20th century medicine can help him.
Very good young grasshopper. The only minor point is that the episode you speak of took place in 1905. (I watched that episode before seeing this one) It was interesting as this was made just prior to "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues" and you can tell David was working on the modern Kwai Chang Caine's voice.
So, the original Kwai Chang Caine refers to Master Ping as his cousin in this movie. I wonder if that’s the same as Ping Hai (AKA: Lo Si and The Ancient) from Kung Fu: The Legend Continues? 🤔
I remember that episode. Caine went back in time and somehow switched places with his Grandfather (the original Caine) in the wild west. The original Wild West Caine as I recall got shot in the opening scenes and in the swap had surgery in 1997 to remove the bullet. It all sounds ridiculous but it was a memorable episode with lots of actors from the 60's western TV series reprising their original characters.
The Colt semi-auto was invented in the 1890s by Sam Colt as a replacement to the revolver in the military. When they picked it, they gave it the name M1911. Remember,"he who is bit by cobra in place where he can not suck out the venom, knows who his true friends are. hehehe!
katanakeith /I don't know why but those who focus on sucking out snake venom from a bite in one's Johnson, I question how much Sucking they have enjoyed !!
ugh - what a slap in the face to the memory of a wonderful character. This scene is a disgrace with it's laundry boy caricature of Kwai Chang Caine. While I otherwise appreciate what the writers were trying to do with classic western heros, Carradine NEVER should have done this.
The whole movie was tongue-in-cheek. Even as they brought the other western heroes into the scenes to save the day. I get what you mean, but the whole movie played as to not be super serious.
The whole movie was just historically inaccurate, it was supposed to be set in the old west, yet there was working electricity, automobiles and motorcycles, couple of individuals wearing modern day clothes, one bad guy using an automatic hand gun instead of a six shooter, cameras to film a movie in one scene and one Asian guy making a John Wayne joke.
the header said the scene was set in 1906 San Francisco, so there was electricity and there were cars, and the semi-auto pistol in the scene was a 1903 model...either Colt or Browning.
Pretty sure that the writers intentionally made the movie pretty inaccurate. It's full of silly comedic elements. By the way, in 1905, there was electricity, automobiles,movie cameras(silent motion pictures played in theaters) and motorcycles in some western(and eastern) U.S. cities.
This was years before Kung Ful the legend continues. I enjoyed that show and was very saddened when David passed away, so unnecessarily. May God rest his soul.
Kennys tv movies were more about entertaining than accuracy. Carradine looked slow and not in shape. Kung fu the legend continues was not good. If they would have put more action into the orginal kung fu it would have lasted longer. Network wouldn't let them. Anyway Carradine was injured in tthe orginal kung fu and was done with the orginal. By the way kung fu was thought up by ed spielman not Bruce Lee. Also Lee couldn't speak good english. Bruces acting doesnt match premise of a show, laid back non threating.

Yeah, in fact, he said people recognized him more than usual after doing this and realized there was another life in the franchise.
Gun guy here. Anybody besides me notice that the first scene showed the date as 1906, but the gun the bad guy was using was a 1911 Colt 45acp?
I am too, but let’s be fair. David Carradine back as Caine? I think we can give them a pass.

I have always loved Reba.
A lot of legends appeared in this movie.
Rest in Peace, David. Not to mention Kenny Rogers' old face.
The movie is an awesome tribute to MANY of televisions legendary western characters, Kenny did that on purpose!
Anyone else hear the Kung Fu theme in the background?
Of course! Me. ☺

That was Gene Lebell Caine grabbed his hand.
For a man of peace he sure did get in a lot of fights
Sometimes it is necessary

The episode took place in the early 1900’s. And went into the future to get help to save his wife and son.
I watched the entire movie just to see this scene!
Same here. A fond memory as my mom and I waited for Caine to appear.
High quality post. Very clear resolution.

Caine appeared in kung fu the legend continues when he traveled through time and met his grand son the lead of the show.
This is the second time Caine beat up Gene lebell.
1991? Wow. This was probably HD back then!
He was 55 years old in this scene!

Wrong. The original Caine character appeared later in episode of Kung Fu Legend Continues. It took place in old west sequences.

you
are rigth!!
i´m wrong

Judo gene! 👊👊👊👊
Lookit Gene Labell doing a window job for David
Holy shit was that Gene Lebell?
Yes Gene Lebell had been in Kung Fu before as a boxer called the Angel in an episode The Brothers Caine.
Amazing. Never knew about this.
Is that Reba and Kenny...damn thats corney....they dont look like that anymore...
Did Caine kill a cat towards the end?
There's a newer Caine scene in Kung Fu the Legend Continues, Gunfighters" "episode.
Did the Automatic pistol exist in 1906
Yes,
But they were mainly for military types.
Kenny sure looks different today...!!
Just wanted record straight my man Jesus. Glad to have the opportunity.
His last appearance and it's in an opium den.?
Good but lack the magic of the Kung Fu (1972 TV series
I can see the writers now, so after Gene LeBell gets beaten up by David, then you take out the guy with the gun...
These cars are newer than 1906...
So where is Knight Rider?
it's 1906 and he has a 1911 Navy .45.......
fasteddie4145 I noticed that as well

Caine looked old.
That pistol is a model 1911, named after the year it was developed. This was supposed to be 1906. And Slider..... You stink...
Too bad the demons never stoped chasing him.👊
Has the "Jumping the Shark" feeling about it.

He just dropped in to see what condition his condition was in.

"end of old west" was rife with early autos n cycles. automatic hand guns became rage in 19th century!

Was this an inside joke?
Bludy ell no more Glasshopper
wow! this clip has succeeded where a bevy of nurses have failed; i gotta take a dump now!
Did Caine just stab a cat?
Leave her alone brock
What on earth is this? Was this done before, during, or after, kung fu the legend continues?
This was years before Kung Ful the legend continues. I enjoyed that show and was very saddened when David passed away, so unnecessarily. May God rest his soul.
@@ACLTony | Actually this was two years before Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.
