Friday night on the BLOOMBERG TELEVISION program “Night Talk,” anchor Mike Schneider talked to Kung Fu Killer’s David Carradine. Carradine talked about leaving the Kung Fu television series in the 1970s, “I didn’t want to play this little bald Chinese guy for the rest of my life.”

He talked about playing “White Crane,” an orphaned son of Western missionaries who was raised as a Wudang monk. “I’ve always wanted to do…something about this character [the historical character in the new movie], but I never could because Warner Brothers owns the rights. But they don’t own the rights to history. Nobody has a copyright on history.”

“Night Talk” airs in the U.S., Europe and Asia on Bloomberg TV at 10PM on weeknights and is simulcast on Bloomberg Radio at 10PM. Bloomberg Radio is broadcast on 1130AM in the New York Metropolitan area and is available on XM and Sirius.

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.  Beginning in the Shanghai underworld, Crane encounters Jane Marshall (Hannah) a lounge singer from Brooklyn, who is on a mission of her own to find her lost brother.
