Story Synopsis:
From the '70s television series "Kung Fu: The Complete First Season" is brought back to life on this two-sided-three-disc DVD set. Schooled throughout his boyhood by a blind Master,
DVD Picture:
Reframed from the original 1.33:1 TV format, the anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVDs exhibit variable image quality that can look quite sharp and nicely detailed at some times, but other times dated and soft. Color fidelity can appear a bit undersaturated at times, with brownish fleshtones, though generally satisfying blacks. Film grain is often noticed and there are occasional flecks of dirt that pop up in the source element. (Suzanne Hodges)
