Reuniting for the first time since they appeared together in Kill Bill, David Carradine and Darryl Hannah are starring in Spike TV’s two-part original miniseries, Kung Fu Killer. The miniseries premieres 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. 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.

For a chance to win a DVD copy of episode one and two of Kung Fu Killer, tell us your favorite action TV show in the comment field below. Comment by Wednesday, August 20th for a chance to win!

I would say that my all-time-favorite would be knight rider.
I'm not sure if I can pick an absolute favorite. It's a tie-

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Bones
Heroes

No doubt - Heroes
♠~Dnbuster~♠ ~. Aug 15, 2008, 5:19pm EDT
Texas Ranger- chuck Norris:)
Vikki M. Aug 15, 2008, 5:25pm EDT
Of all time I'd have to say "The A-Team". In more recent years, it would definitely be "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
Anne Marie A. Aug 15, 2008, 5:31pm EDT
I have several favorites.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Dark Angel
Heroes
would definitely be among my favorite Action T.V. shows

My all time fave would have to be "A team". All those disguises!
CROSSFIRE

The first action show I paid any attention to was "The Mod Squad"( one black-one white-one blond). Oh, how I wanted to be Peggy Lipton. Although, in retrospect, she was a wimp..I think I just had a crush on Pete.
Then I wanted to be "Emma Peel", or "Honey West". I always liked shows with a strong female.
Bethany C. Aug 16, 2008, 1:13pm EDT
The A-Team was my all time favorite, I think. Walker, Texas Ranger is another one I like. I'm sure there are more that I can't think of at the moment.

I just loved Mission Impossible. Peter Graves and Jim Phelps were such good actors and along with Barbara Bain as Cinnamon and Greg Morris as Barney Collier, you were always on the edge of your seat. Each week there was a different guest star which really livened up the show.
I especially loved the opening - "Your mission Jim, should you decide to accept it",which always kept me waiting for the one time when Jim would say, "You know what, I think I'll sit this one out!" LOL. Of course that never happened, but I'd always get a little smile at this opening line.

Tap Out is our favorite action TV show! Mask cracks me up!
☆ ƒåitĥ ☆ Aug 17, 2008, 1:16am EDT
It's a tie for me between Heroes & LOST.
Terry M. Aug 18, 2008, 6:53am EDT
I would have to say knight rider. I don't think there is any forgetting KIT.
Laura Cushing Aug 18, 2008, 12:26pm EDT
I loved Buffy the Vampire slayer while it was on, particularly the first five seasons. After that, it just got iffy.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Aug 18, 2008, 1:46pm EDT
"Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" would have to be my all-time favorite.
Angela <:3---}~~~~ M. Aug 18, 2008, 2:48pm EDT

Teresa W. Aug 18, 2008, 9:34pm EDT
Xena Warrior Princess was one of my total favorite action TV show series, that and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Nowadays, I'm totally in love with Stargate Atlantis on the SciFi Channel! I love the characters of Colonel Shepherd and Ronan!
Beth G. Aug 18, 2008, 9:46pm EDT
I think my favorite one is The A-Team. Come on, who didn't pity the fool and love Murdock!
April H. Aug 19, 2008, 11:37am EDT
I'd have to go with Knight Rider - I wanted to have a Kit!
☀ Aunt Shanny Aug 19, 2008, 11:39am EDT
Ummm... I don't have one. Am I still in the running?

No pun intended.

hmmm, trying to think of an action show that I watch or used to watch...

Would the Amazing Race be considered action?? That is the only show I can think of right now that I have watched lately that might have some action in it..

~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Aug 20, 2008, 6:55pm EDT
ROFL.

Did you all not see that the Lady said "ACTION"???????????


There is but one on television worth watching, and it is . . .

ta-da!!!

The Unit

CBS, on Tuesday nights,

and you losers all missed it, didn't you?

Well, didn't you?
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Aug 20, 2008, 7:01pm EDT
Just for NOT supporting your (secret) Special Forces Unit, who report ONLY to the President of the United States and put their lives on the line (but only every Tuesday night, and sometimes on Saturday nights in reruns), none of youse guys are going to WIN!!!

Are they, Stepanie???

Next time support your (secret) Special Forces Unit, who report only to the President of the United States, and put their lives on the line -- for YOU -- and you shall win!!!
~Lady Neeetah of California~Obama #44 W. Aug 20, 2008, 7:03pm EDT
lol. I'm always misspelling your name. Does that mean I lose?
Seth Williams Aug 20, 2008, 8:14pm EDT
Battlestar Galactica - the new one, not the cheesy 70s version. Taut plotting and dialog, good attention to cinemagraphic details, real emotional depth....and action, action, action.
Dark Angel with Jessica Alba. I was so glad when SciFi ran the whole series last summer. I even have the action figure.
Torchwood is also a big favorite. The show has ALL kinds of action. Something for everybody.
Another- BBC's Robin Hood. Bow and arrow action!
And anytime I can catch a rerun of the original Kung Fu. Always enjoyed Kwai Chang Caine adventures.
Ashley B. Aug 21, 2008, 7:43am EDT
Knight Rider, Walker, Texas Ranger, and The Unit are some of my favorites when I have the opportunity to watch them.
Jessica D. Aug 23, 2008, 11:58am EDT
I like JAG - but I not sure if you could really considered that action adventure.
Jennifer H. Aug 24, 2008, 9:30pm EDT
The closer , svu= special victims unit , Law and Order, saving grace , Army wifes,
Stefanie Plum, Gather Partner Team Aug 25, 2008, 10:02am EDT
I like the answer about the political debates. That means plenty of action TV for this week. :-)

The winner though for the DVD episodes is Selene S.. Congratulations!!!
