Kwai Chang Caine


I've never seen any of the Gambler movies...

Is Carradine's character in the film the Kwai Chang Caine from the Kung Fu series?
That would be awesome, having a cross-over character into this film.

I think my grandmother would have loved this film; or maybe she did. She was big on westerns. They were never really my bag, but I remember watching the Mel Gibson "Maverick" over and over with her. I think it was her way of trying to get me interested in them.

I may have missed a few, it was fun trying to figure out how many were there.

Yes. He is the same character. I was a kid during the days of Western televison and it was a treat to see all these people again.
