David Carradine dead at 72

[Hammock Parties]

Bill Killed.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8083479.stm

Kill Bill and Kung Fu star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room, BBC correspondent Jonathan Head has reported.

The 72-year-old 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."


On June 3, 2009, Carradine was found dead in his room at the Park Nai Lert Hotel in Bangkok (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangkok), Thailand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carradine#cite_note-5). The initial police investigation indicated that Carradine had hanged (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanged) himself using a cord of the type which is used with curtains. Circumstances suggested that the death was a suicide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carradine#cite_note-TheNation-0)
David Carradine's manager Chuck Binder, said he believed Carradine's death was from natural causes, and not from a suicide as reported in the Thai press. [7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carradine#cite_note-NewBizarre-6)

Carradine, 73, was staying in Bangkok while shooting a movie. The film crew became aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant yesterday. When a producer went to his room, he discovered that the actor had died.

sometimes you can be a real cunt

[Frazod]

Damn, that sucks. Carradine rocked. :(

I'll always primarily remember him as Cole Younger in the Long Riders.

[Demonpenz]

[big nasty kcnut]

Rip david your a man i try to be like.

[Duck Dog]

RIP Grasshopper.

[Deberg_1990]

RIP...that sucks. He was great in Kill Bill. (BTW, that role was originally written for Warren Beatty)

He made a ton of bad movies, but will always be remembered as a B movie god.

[Frazod]

BTW, could one of the mods please change the thread title?

The name's David, not Bill.

My bad, fixed it.

[Duck Dog]

I like his show, 'Wild West Tech'.

[Frazod]

Thank you.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO BILL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gonzo]

RIP Grasshopper...

[Lumpy]

I thought he was a great actor and took pride in every role he played. He was especially great in "Kill Bill". RIP Mr. Carradine.

[Frazod]

Yeah, that's a very interesting show. I thought it was cool the way he and Keith seemed to take turns hosting.

[KC Dan]

Ditto - RIP Grasshopper

Kung Foo was one of my all time favorite shows. RIP DC.

Does anyone know where Uma Thurman is? Just sayin'....

Carradine was one of a kind. Martial arts expert, free spirit, and general whackjob. The closest thing we have left is Gary Busey but he's more weird than cool.

If Heaven is what we want it to be, Carradine's probably strolling across some barren landscape like at the beginning of a "Kung Fu" episode... although, this time, he's strolling towards a platform covered in hot sexy women and all the food and mind-alterers a man could want. :) RIP to one of the truly unique characters born to humanity. :bow:

On this we can agree.

BL probably hates him. Because the Kung Foo (series) role was originally planned for him.

[Redrum_69]

Carradine stole the role in Kung Fu that was supposed to go to Bruce Lee

The same demons that haunted Bruce Lee's family finally caught up to Carradine...


Bruce would later pitch a television series of his own tentatively titled The Warrior. According to Caldwell, Lee's concept was retooled and renamed Kung Fu, but Warner Bros. gave Lee no credit.

Kung Fu WAS truely one of my favirite shows. You'd think I'd spell it correctly.

[Mr. Krab]

I don't think the series would of had near the success with Bruce Lee. He was all about intensity and focus. He lacked the peaceful, somewhat sleepy style that Carradine brought to the role that allowed him to be a butt-kicking victim

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Bummer.

RIP.

Does Skip charge you rent for living in his head?

Same here, Kung Fu was a must watch. I have a hard time understanding him hanging himself. It just doesn't fit with my image of him.

[Simply Red]

RIP Grasshopper.

[BigChiefFan]

A 73 year old hanging himself, doesn't typically happen. If you've made it that long, why would you just give up? This sounds fishy.

Cole Younger's gravesite is actually in Lees Summit, MO right off 291.

Nothing special like I thought it would be. Just your normal ol gravesite.

Does Uma Thurman have an alibi?

For years the Dalton's gravesite in Coffeyville didn't even have a headstone. Just a piece of pipe forming an arch with both ends in the ground. You wouldn't even know who it was unless somebody told you. Relatives have since put up a headstone.

One of my all time favorite Westerns was the classic "Shane" with Alan Ladd. I didn't know that David Carradine played Ladd's character in a TV series. Apparently it only lasted 17 episodes, but I wouldn't mind a DVD release of it.

:spock: Carradine was rich (maybe not by Hollywood standards but certainly by ours), famous, well-liked, popular, found work as an actor (again, maybe not in Oscar-winners but he kept working), and lived to be 72.

May the demons "haunt" me in a similar fashion and "catch up" to me at that age.

Apparently he went the way of Michael Hutchence:

"Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and genitals on Thursday morning."

He was in Bangkok for chrissakes, there had to be a hooker within pissing distance....

Yes, I know. I visited it for luck before I went to the KU/MU game in 2007.

I'm sure Cole would have been pleased with the outcome of the game. :thumb:

There might have been a few in the room who took off when he died.

Gotta hand it to the man: he lived in style, and he died in style.

Think about it. When you're 72, do you want to:

a.) Quietly go to sleep in the rocking chair of an old folk's home, or
b.) Go to the beyond in a Thailand hotel with a noose on your nuts?

I'd opt for b, it's a lot better story to tell once you get where you're going...

[PRIEST]

This

[blaise]

Why did David Carradine go to Thailand?

To hang out.

[RNR]

As a kid I loved his Kung Fu show. All the guys I grew up with boxed and when you got into a fight it was a fist fight. To watch Bruce Lee and that tv show was cool because of the way they fought. Lee was much better at it than Carradine but it was still fun to watch. Strange thing is most of us still looked down at guys who tried to kick during a fight. We thought it was cheating :shrug: Anyway sad news to hear he has passed.

[Pioli Zombie]

Will they rename the show Hung Fu now?

Cheating? Kicking is a great weapon. Especially if you can kick over your head.

Yes he was excellent in that-what a Great flick.

[Psyko Tek]

Long Riders I loved
but his best role

Hate to say it but I bet he was kicking a lot at the end.

I got in a fight with a kid in 5th grade who kicked me. I caught his foot in mid-kick and dumped him backwards right on his fucking head. It was awesome.

:evil:

[CheeZnOnCatP]

I would like to know the real story. Maybe someone used the five finger exploding heart punch. This guy was a true kungfu master.

[Baby Lee]

Cool thread, mind if I hang for a while?

In My late teens I started taking Taekwondo and started moving more towards a kick boxing style of fighting. But when we were kids we were more of the "sissies" kick train of thought

The movie of his life should be directed by David Lynch.

Sad. Here he had suicidal tendencies in his life and yet he dies* of an accidental strangulation trying to get off? FTR, his death is already reported on the autoerotic asphyxiation page on Wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoerotic_asphyxiation :rolleyes:

I loved Kung Fu and hated him in Kill Bill. Both of those characters captured the dichotomy that he seemed to be.

Agreed, though I thought his performance in Kill Bill II was worthy of Oscar consideration.

Quite true. Good observation.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

I'm not seeing any reputable source that this was AEA...they would be listing the cause of death as accidental if it were.

TMZ is now reporting that his hands were tied around his back.

At first it a rope around his neck. Then it was a rope around his neck and genitals. Now it is a rope around his neck, genitals, and hands.

His manager is crying foul play.

http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/05/carradines-rep-davids-hands-were-tied/

[blaise]

I'm guessing he was doing some blow with some hookers and some funky sexual stuff and either it went too far or they just decided to rob him and kill him.
I'd be willing to bet his wallet was empty when they found him.

[Pioli Zombie]

This is eearily similar to Jake Delhommes playoff performance.
