David Carradine's dead

---

 

there is a great disturbance in the force ...

 

I don't know who it was so it didn't really happen.

 

Thats bad

What happened, did a deathstar hit him?

 

Sadness... the B movie industry may never recover

 

Oh well, sucks for him.

Life goes on.

Hopefully more actors die in the future, they are rather annoying people.

 

I think there's a rush for actors to die.
That way they can follow Lawrence Oliver as holograph actors.
They're just following supply and demand.

 

im going to have to go watch Kung Fu now

 

My first guess is autoerotic asphyxiation.

 

Hopefully he went out in an orgy of hash, cocaine and ladyboys.

Really though...I liked the guy. He didn't take himself too seriously.

 

awesome movie, awesome deleted scene...

one of my fellow barefooters has fallen... tis a sad day.

 

This is the third sadest day I can honestly remember in my life. David, you will be missed brother! Peace and Love, may your soul find it's way where ever your going.

 

The school of shaolin stands in mourning

Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found naked by a hotel maid in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body.

The US star was in Thailand filming his latest film, Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder. Mr Binder said the news was "shocking", adding: "He was full of life, always wanting to work... a great person." A US embassy official confirmed the actor's death, but added that the cause of death had not yet been established.

Hotwater

 

Sorry to hear this.

His original Kung Fu show in the 70s was trippy and hippie. Eastern philosophy, psychedelic flashbacks, strange camera angles.

Somehow eastern philosophy and the wild wild west just didn't seem to mix well.

On a humorous note, one of my friends I used to know had an old VHS tape with a commercial on it from about the early 2000s with David Carradine. It was for some sort of soft drink.

Carradine was sent out by his eldlerly master for this soft drink and gets into a show-down with some tough guys from the wild west. You expect a Kung Fu battle to ensue. Instead, everyone gets into a face-slapping eye-poking skuffle like the Stooges. When Carradine goes back to his master to report, the elderly bald guy is talking like Curly from the Stooges and saying things like "Coitenly!"

If anyone has seen that commercial on youtube or elsewhere, please let me know.
