There was a made-for-TV movie called simply ''Kung Fu: The Movie'', which aired on Creator/{{CBS}} in 1986 as a sequel. In addition to Carradine and Keye Luke, the movie starred a pre-fame Creator/BrandonLee as Caine's lost illegitimate son and Creator/{{Mako}} as the father of the royal nephew that Caine killed, using Caine's son as the instrument of his revenge. In 1987, there was an attempt at a SequelSeries called ''Kung Fu: The Next Generation'', which would have aired on CBS, but only had a pilot episode. Carradine did not return; instead it starred David Darlow as Caine's grandson who tries to turn his own son, played by Brandon Lee, away from a life of crime.
A SequelSeries, ''Series/KungFuTheLegendContinues'', featured Caine's IdenticalGrandson and his own estranged son Peter, a modern day cop. This series ran from 1993 to 1997 as part of Warner Bros' Creator/{{PTEN}} syndicated package, and does not appear to include the events of ''Kung Fu: The Movie'' or ''Kung Fu: The Next Generation'' in its continuity. It lasted longer than its namesake, though it failed to gain nearly so much attention. ''Kung Fu 3D'' was a series of 12 {{Webisode}}s hosted on the Warner Brothers website in 1999; while it featured a character named Kwai Chang Caine voiced by Carradine, it deviated from the show's canon. Caine is [[DoorstopBaby left on the temple's steps by his mother as a baby]], and he is in search of his father instead of his brother. The web series had NoEnding.
There is also the series ''Series/{{Warrior|2019}}'', which is based on a similar series concept that Creator/BruceLee developed around 1971, which began airing in 2019 on Creator/{{Cinemax}} for two seasons before moving to Creator/HBOMax for season three onwards. The following year, Creator/GregBerlanti was tapped to produce a [[Series/KungFu2021 remake]] for Creator/TheCW, featuring a [[GenderFlip gender-flipped]] Caine named Nicky Shen (played by Creator/OliviaLiang), which aired its first episode on April 2021.
Either invented or introduced the concept of a kung-fu Western to...well, ''Western'' audiences. If you're looking for martial arts tropes, see ThisIndexKnowsKungFu.

There isalso a pop culture belief, perpetuated even by some official sources, that the series was a project developed by Creator/BruceLee that got stolen from him. Nothing of this is true; while Lee did audition for the character that went to Carradine, he was busy developing his own series, which was never made. A series loosely based on Lee's own was produced in 2019, ''Series/{{Warrior|2019}}'', which is based on a similar series concept that Creator/BruceLee developed around 1971, which began airing in 2019 on Creator/{{Cinemax}} for two seasons before moving to Creator/HBOMax for season three onwards.

* TestOfPain: The final test in the Shaolin training regimen requires the acolyte to lift a heavy brazier full of hot coals with his forearms and move it away from the temple's exit door. The rim of the brazier is set with tiger/dragon reliefs on its underside that are heated to red-hot by the coals, so that the acolyte will brand himself by lifting it. Caine passes the test without crying out in pain, after which the door opens so he can leave the temple and start searching for Danny.

Despite the anguish, Caine succeeds, and once the urn is displaced, the door opens. Caine is now free to leave the monastery and seek his brother, Daniel.
