sinister henchman. Ho Chow also guest-starred as the episode's
resident bad guy, armed with nunchakus and other nasty tricks.

Hustle and bustle between takes on the set of Phoenix
(season IV - Kung Fu: The Legend Continues). David Carradine and Kung
Fu alumni James Hong (Chinatown, Big Trouble In Little
China, Blade Runner) rehearse a scene in the background, as
Michael stands by in the foreground (at left). This episode also
guest-starred Robert Carradine (The Long Riders, Stephen King’s
The Tommyknockers, John Carpenter’s Body Bags), and was
directed by yet another Kung Fu alumni, Bo Svenson (Walking
Tall).

Michael and Al Leong choreograph and rehearse
the fight for Caine's climatic battle with his own evil self in Requiem.
This episode was the last show of the last season (season IV - Kung
Fu: The Legend Continues), and the finale fight was among the very
last scenes to be shot. This fight was among Michael’s favorites to
perform, because he got to work with - and "against" - David, in
addition to doubling both sides of the fight…essentially,
fighting himself.
