Vanishing Son

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vanishing Son was part of Universal TV's Action Pack. Starting as a series of four made for television movies in 1994, the television series debuted on January 16, 1995. Vanishing Son I, Vanishing Son II, Vanishing Son III, and Vanishing Son IV, were aired on February 28, 1994, July 18, 1994, July 25, 1994, and October 10, 1994, respectively. The series was ground-breaking for the casting of an Asian-American male in an attractive leading-man role.

Russell Wong starred as Jian-Wa Chang, a musician who escaped from the People's Republic of China after being involved in a student demonstration against the government. He and his brother Wago escaped to the USA; he pursued his music while Wago became drawn to a life of organized crime.

Wago and two US Federal Agents are killed; Jian-Wa is held responsible, but a Vietnamese mafioso known as "The General" (Haing S. Ngor) is behind the murders. Jian-Wa becomes a fugitive, using his wisdom, music, and martial arts skills to solve problems along the way, on his quest to bring "The General" to justice. As he helps others while traveling, he is aided by the spirit of his murdered brother Wago.

The series was canceled after the first thirteen episodes aired.
