For the first time since their roles in Kill Bill, David Carradine and Daryl Hannah will reunite for Kung Fu Killer. This two-part original movie miniseries is set to premiere on Spike TV this August. The movie is set in the late 1920s in China, before the Communist reign. Carradine will play White Crane, the orphaned son of Western missionaries who was raised by a monk to become a spiritual leader and master in martial arts.

In the first installment, White Crane will seek revenge on the mercenaries who raid his temple and murder his mentor. He infiltrates the Shanghai underworld. There he'll meet Jane Marshall, played by Daryl Hannah, a Brooklyn lounge singer who is in China on her own journey. She is trying to recover her kidnapped brother, held hostage by Kahn Xin, leader of the same mercenaries who ransacked White Crane's temple.

Jon Stewart explained that he likes to work with the news networks (unbearable, depressing muzak, really) in the background. He recently heard a really strange phrase that, apparently, caused him to do a rather comical doubletake: "Forcibly remove actress Daryl Hannah from a walnut tree." Yeah. Hannah clung to a tree to protest the destruction of a public garden. The previous phrase is not something that one hears everyday... It's right up there with "Get these mothahf_ckin' Daryl Hannahs off this mothaf_ckin' plane!"
