Princess of the warrior is present only due to this forgotten TV fluctuation

In 1994, Universal launched a group of TV programming that was first designed for a long series of new TV films, all in the types of movement, imagination or science fiction. It was presented as a “movement package”, and every “episode” was a new TV movie from a different concession. In TV, it is called “Chefs Series”. The mass appeared for the first time with “tekwar”, “ A science fiction pilot depends on William Shatner’s novels. The original plan for The Action Pack was the viewing of “Smokey and The Bandit”, “Midnight Run”, as well as the original versions such as “Fastlane”, “Vanshing Son” and “Hercules and the Amazon Women”. Each of these six privileges was to be given, at least four films.

The movement package is not clear from the line a little between what was calculated as a series, and what was calculated as films. Ultimately, the four “Tekwar” films were reinstalled and reused as the first season of the “Tekwar” TV series, followed by a second season consisting of 18 episodes for 18 hours. The four “Bandit” films did not lead to a series, so they are still classified as films. “Hercules” was the largest success story from the movement package, with four self -existing films, and overpowered “The Legendary Rouneys” in 1995. This series, starring Kevin Sorbo, ran in 111 episodes and became a simple cultural phenomenon. Be more successful Exhibition show “, Zina: Princess’s warrior,“Action series is based on” Hercules “Woror, which Lucy Luis played.” Xena “135 episodes lasted for six seasons.

“Zina”, however, had no room to flourish if no other movie of Action Pack films did not stumble a little. The four “Distinguished” films brought good numbers, and Universal has rotated these films to a season of 13 episodes of television in 1995, but quickly, well, Disappearance From the public’s awareness, the chain was removed from the air. “Xena” moved to its time and flourished.

Zina’s creator Robert Tapirt spoke recently with EWAnd remember “Vanishing Son” and how he gave his failure “Xena” the space you need.

The first movie “The Lower Son” follows the adventures of Jiang-Wa Chang (Russell Wong) and his brother Wago (Chi Muoi Lo) who grew up in a family-class family in China in the late eighties. Rob Cohen, a violin teacher in Jiang Wa, plays the creator of the series. Jiang-WA and Wago regularly bring protests and demonstrations against the government with their friend Lili (Vivian Wu), and when he joins the Chinese police, the brothers are forced to flee the country and come to America to start their lives. Jiang-Wa begins to play violin professionally and falls in love with the Chilo player, which was played by Rebecca Gihyrt. However, Wago is located with local Vietnamese mobs (Managed by Hing S.), And sliding slowly to the original.

The story of the sequences becomes a bit complicated – “Vanishing Son II” is taking place in Louisiana, and it follows a battle between Vietnamese immigrants and Kokus Klan (!) – But it is sufficient to say that the Wago crimes continue to hit, and the resentment between the brothers is still growing. At the end of “Vanishing Son III”, two works of the FBI were killed, and Jiang-WA is framing for killing. This killing has become useful for the “Vanishing Son” television series, which is seen Jiang-WA on LAM, in an attempt to clarify his name.

TAPERT does not have what he says about the quality of “Son Donation Son”, but he noticed that he was not the same as “Hercules”. Al -Razman was manufactured for a bad dual feature. Because “Hercules” was more popular, though, the new conjugation should come at the expense of “the Shaheen Son”. Taber said:

“Hercules” was five films for two hours, then they requested 13 episodes of “Hercules“There was an offer that was associated with” call “The fading sonAnd “”Hercules I really did, ‘The fading son It did not. So the studio executives said at that time, “We control those two -sided blocs in all these stations throughout America. We need a better pair than that,” said.

And such, “The Shaheen Son” disappeared.

One cannot say why the “son faded” was bad as I did. Perhaps it was not simply full of work package. There were many combat scenes and photography, but the hypothesis and the tone were much more compared to all other motion packages/films. It was more about drama, crime and reconciliation than kicking the donkey. Only WONG, Lo and NGOR appeared in all four films and in the TV series. Dustin Ngawin and Tomita Tommeta were in some films, and they also appeared on the TV show.

Meanwhile, “Hercules” was successful, and was absorbing all the air outside the room. When TAPERT presented the Xena character in the first season of “Hercules: The Legendary Beachs”, he knew immediately that she deserved its own cross series. With “Vanishing Son” anyway, TAPET intervened to develop “Xena: Warrior Princess.” He knew that he had to move quickly because another person would likely try to remove the character soon enough if he did not seize the opportunity themselves. In his words:

“Thus, when he saw (studio heads) Zina’s character in Hercules – literally in rough pieces, and the most severe discounts – they said:” Yes, we must save ourselves before another person did. “Thus this financial need was in the studio.”

These days, “Xena” is very loved until “Hercules”.

Meanwhile, the rest of the movement package continued to flourish for another for another years, as it turned into shows such as “Cleopatra 2525”, “Knight Rider 2010”, “Jack of All Targes” as well as independent films such as “Beastmaster III: The Eye of Braxus” and Comedy “adventures of Captain Zoom Zoom outside”. The Action Pack brand ended in a homogeneous manner in 2001, which is strange that only a few remember. Its legacy only lives in “Xena”, while “Vanishing Son” is still difficult to find.
