David Carradine has been taken from us. The man who got many of us taking Kung Fu lessons has been found dead in his Bangkok hotel room: Actor David Carradine Dead at 72. Very sad if it's true that suicide is the cause.
The Carradine myth has always been an interesting one. They passed over Bruce Lee for that role, yet I doubt Carradine could ever punch his way out of a wet paper bag. Still, heck of a show. The pain involved in carrying that boiling iron pot out into the snow always fascinated me as a kid. And don't tell me you never did the snatch the pebble out of my hand thing as a kid.
RIP
And never forget his classic role as Frankenstein in Death Race 2000:
How very sad. Keye Luke who played Master Po was a dear friend of mine. He died in 1991. He loved playing that role. I have always imagined Carrodine was, like Keye, a very sensitive and creative soul. RIP dear Grasshopper, RIP.
Carradine is the family curse?!
I think that watching this movie, you will be able to understand why it happened.
