Damn - loved him in Kill Bill.

Just put the 3 Kung Fu dvds in my queue to watch with my 'grasshopper'.

R.I.P. Grasshopper...

Always loved Kung Fu & pretty much anything Carradine did, I enjoyed...

all my childhood memories starting to leave me....

[Fancypants]

Wow, shocker... even more shocking:

(CNN) -- American actor David Carradine has been found dead, hanging by a nylon rope in a hotel room closet in Bangkok, Thailand, according a Thai police official.

I always loved Kung Fu when I was a kid. Sad

[mfeust]

What a shame. I was a big fan of the Kung Fu series. A lot of flops between it and the Kill Bill movies. I hope they didn't find him jacking off in the closet.

I loved Kung Fu and it affected me in a deep, funny kind of way... RIP

Looks like it was an erotic thriller that may have killed him http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/loca...carradine-dead

Boy....that's strange. On one hand, could be some sort of erotic mishap, perhaps suicide.

Lots of questions that could lead one to believe it was foul play, too.

There are certainly worse ways to go, but not a hell of a lot.

Wouldn't a half-snorted 8 ball and a couple of scantily clad hookers make for a better death scene in a Bangkok hotel suite?

Add more coke and a couple hits of X and you got a deal. Two hookers would be fine, though.


Just kidding about the dope. I don't even drink anymore. Eight or ten years ago, though..........

[Musicmaniac]

Now they're saying there may have been fowl play, I loathe chickens!

[graphicguy]

The part I don't get from that story is the fact his hands were bound. If his hands were bound, how could he hang himself?

And, how in the hell do you tie a shoestring around your......ummmm....."member", and take the rest of the shoe string and wrap it around your neck? I don't know about you, but mine doesn't reach quite that far up....even when I'm excited!!!!!!

And, if he truly did hang himself, how did he end up curled up on the floor?

They need McGyver, Columbo, and Matlock in on this one.

They need McGyver, Columbo, and Matlock in on this one.

Or send in somebody who possesses all of those qualities, Chuck Norris.

I've been trying to work through that math as well. I couldn't tie my shoes in a hotel room closet, much less deal with the variety of things DC had going on.
