David Carradine and Daryl Hannah reunite for the first time since their roles on the big screen in "Kill Bill" to star in the two-part original movie miniseries, "Kung Fu Killer" slated to premiere Sunday, August 17 and Monday, August 18 (10:00 PM - Midnight, ET/PT) on Spike in HD.
Set in late 1920s in China, before Communist rule, "Kung Fu Killer" tells the story of White Crane (Carradine), an orphaned son of Western missionaries who was raised as a Wudang monk to become a spiritual leader and master in martial arts, and his ultimate journey for revenge and justice.
In the first installment, Crane's peaceful world is shattered when Kahn Xin (Lim Kay Tong) and his mercenaries raid his temple and slay his mentor. In search of his master's murderers, Crane infiltrates the Shanghai underworld where he encounters Jane Marshall (Hannah), a lounge singer from Brooklyn, who is on a mission of her own -- to find her lost brother, who is being held captive by Kahn. Realizing that Kahn's evil plans are more intricate and widespread than originally thought, Crane teams up with Jane in order to enter Kahn's inner circle. From there, they tread carefully in order to dismantle Kahn's destructive plans before assassinating him. Soon, Crane's battle becomes a moral one, as he finds himself torn between his peaceful Wudang upbringing and the cold-blooded life of an assassin.
The second installment, "Kung Fu Killer II" shifts gears to a more personal drama as Crane returns to help rebuild his shattered temple. However, the peace is short-lived as, back in Shanghai, nightclub singer Jane is kidnapped by Bai Yang, an old classmate and rival of Crane's who plans to employ her in the sex trade. It is up to Crane and his young protege Lang (Osric Chau) to save not only Jane, but Lang's true love Wei.
