Carradine, Hannah reunite for 'Kung Fu'

NEW YORK, June 19 (UPI) -- "Kill Bill" co-stars David Carradine and Daryl Hannah have reunited for "Kung Fu Killer," a miniseries to debut in the United States this August, Spike TV said.

The two-part "Kung Fu Killer" is to premiere in high definition on the network under the Spike Guy Movies umbrella.

Set in late 1920s China, before Communist rule, the miniseries tells the story of White Crane (Carradine,) the 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.

Hannah plays a lounge singer from Brooklyn looking for her brother, who is being held captive by the same man who, along with his mercenaries, raided Crane's temple and killed his mentor, Spike TV said.

"Kung Fu Killer" was shot entirely on location in China at the Zhejiang Heng Dian World Studios and in the towns of Fong Yang and Heng Dian.
