I AM The Willow Sword
You know i have a real hard time buying into that horsesh!t. I guess we will never know since he was in Bangkok thailand and found Hung in a hotel room. i mean maybe i am in denial but it just doesnt seem plausable. Anyway, i think its a real bummer. I was and still am a Fan of Carradine,despite LKFmdouchebag's comments.
i feel we have lost a hollywood icon and i am bummed about it.
RIP Mr carradine, was a pleasure to get to talk with you when i did all those years ago.
Peace, TWS
It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.

TV wise, Kung fu was at best OK and Kung Fu the legend continues was horrific !
Now, on a real personal note, I had the pleasure of escorting him out of 2 night clubs in my time as a bouncer, he was a mean drunk and BOTH times took a swing at me, LOL !
The last time he said, "Hey, I know you, you threw me out last time, mother****er!"
Priceless !

'Kill Bill' star Carradine found dead
BANGKOK (AP) -- Actor David Carradine, star of the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" who also had a wide-ranging career in the movies, has been found dead in the Thai capital, Bangkok. A news report said he was found hanged in his hotel room and was believed to have committed suicide.
A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy, Michael Turner, confirmed the death of the 72-year-old actor. He said Carradine died either late Wednesday or early Thursday, but he could not provide further details out of consideration for his family.
The Web site of the Thai newspaper The Nation cited unidentified police sources as saying Carradine was found Thursday hanged in his luxury hotel room and is believed to have committed suicide.
Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby.
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series "Kung Fu," which aired in 1972-75.
He reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine's grandson in the 1990s syndicated series "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues."
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino's two-part saga "Kill Bill."

Not to take this off topic, but Bill Mummy kicked the crap out of a guy in a bar I used to go to in my home town, had cowboy boots on and really gave it to the guy. Not gonna go down as a high point in technical fighting history, but the guy he kicked the crap out of has forever been "the guy who got his ass kicked by the kid from lost in space."At times like this I tend to remember people in a personal way:

While I don't like most of what he did, there is no denying he became an icon for the arts.

In fairness, David Carradine is not at fault for stealing a role from Bruce Lee. Hollywood had been using westerners to play different ethnic groups for decades before, and their view, which was probably accurate, was that their audience wasn't willing to fork out cash for genuine articles.
Now, we're enlightened. This occurred when Tom Cruise saved the Samurai.
Somewhere, there's a really talented Australian who doesn't want to play the bad guy in a Jackie Chan flick.

i met DC something like 6 years ago......he had this crazy story as to how the kung fu series came about it was almost laughable...but he was a great actor, and had alot of interesting things to say....had dinner with him later that night and we had a long discourse about films movies and martial arts...when his kill bill diary came out he sent me an autographed copy of it...so Rest In Peace david, you were an ******* but you were a great *******....

When tae-bo was big he came out with a video called "Cardio Tai Chi" It was the biggest abortion of a video ever. Guy was a di(k. Perhaps all his lying about the MA finally caught up with him and he felt guilty....or else Shannon Lee got to him.

RIP David Carradine,
I still thought he was alright in Kung Fu (but hey that's just me, although Bruce would have been several hundred times better but then again that's just me as well)
Either way its sad and believe it or not I'll actually miss him once in awhile.
Nothing is harder to see into than people's nature. The sage looks at subtle phenomena and listens to small voices. This harmonizes the outside with the inside and the inside with the outside.

Ha! way back in the dark ages, Bill Mumy and Miguel Ferrer spotted lunch for me and a couple comic book artists. Nicest guy I ever met, totally unaffected by the industry. Many actors/actresses are tough to handle, they are so narcissistic, paranoid and well, stupid. But not Bill Mumy, smart guy, nice guy, well mannered and now... an a$$ kicker.
Right on.

I hate to bring this up, but it is either a tragedy - he lost his will to live or, typical of Hollywood - it is auto-erot!c asphyxiation.
Wonder what the Vegas odds are?
