Keye Luke

Keye Luke plays Master Po on Kung Fu, the teacher in the Shaolin flashbacks that structure Kwai Chang Caine's walk through the American West. Slow-motion kicks, grasshopper as spiritual catchphrase, a network hour that mixed frontier serial with martial-arts mysticism. Luke is how the memory has a voice. Casting fights around the lead still start; Po remains the lesson's face.

The Kung Fu assignment is ABC, 1972–1975 — Master Po in a 1970s window that starts around 1972. Po is how the memory has a voice — a proverb as plot, a temple inside a western. Begin with s01e01. King of the Mountain opens the walking West. Shaolin flashbacks, slow-motion kicks, grasshopper already spiritual catchphrase. Carradine's casting still starts fights next to Bruce Lee origin lore.

Handsome, unsettled, and oddly gentle for a kick show. On TV Flash Luke is 1970s catalog gravity. We file Master Po with the hours that treated a proverb as plot and an elder as the reason a western could sound like a temple.

The later hour is s01e02. Dark Angel is early-run mysticism as a title. Frontier serial plus martial-arts parable: handsome, unsettled, a network hour that still photographs as a walk, not a punch-out. s01e06 is the desk's start for Master Po. The Soul is the Warrior is the thesis on the card. Grasshopper liturgy as craft: the West as a moral obstacle course, the flashbacks still the real action, the kicks the punctuation. Watch the craft; skip the highlight-reel version of Keye Luke. Keye Luke keeps Kung Fu specific so the ABC run still has a pulse.
