'Kung Fu' review: Leaves it till late to find a firm footing


'I'm just glad they didn't make me shave my head like in those 1970s Hong Kong flicks.'

So, about Kung Fu, the new series that's all about family and kicking butt. It's billed as being based on the 1970s David Carradine TV show created by Ed Spielman (some would argue, by Bruce Lee) but it has very little in common with that ancient oddity.

In fact, aside from the title and the fact that the main character is a (female) Shaolin monk, it has nothing else in common with its, um, ancestor.
