Ghostrider Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 The "kung fu" and "kill bill" star has been found dead, in a similar fashion to Michael Hutchence.

Kingmaker2 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I first heard about Carradine's death on the rolling display on SkyNews. Although it just read, "David Carradine dies in Bangkok." I was brought up on the Kung Fu series, and always wondered as a child who would win in a fight between Bruce Lee and Kane. RIP David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Lest in Peace Glasshopper. I loved Kung Fu as a kid but I can't remember if he ever did what he set out to do or got to wherever he was trying to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Kung Fu as a kid but I can't remember if he ever did what he set out to do or got to wherever he was trying to go. He was looking for his half-brother and found him at the end of the third series. As well as a couple of cousins and a nephew I think. Also, Bruce Lee would win. RIP David, I was always a fan.

taxman Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I remember watching Kung Fu as a child. I'm afraid the mysticism and journey of enlightenment stuff passed me by, but I liked the fighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During filming, he only had his dancing training to go on, which is pretty much all you need to look like you know what you are doing on screen. Well, that and a fight choreographer I suppose.

Kingmaker2 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Also, Bruce Lee would win. Yep I always felt that too. Epecially when you think Ku Fu was originally a concept thought up by Bruce Lee, and Bruce was pinning his hopes of playing the lead role of Kane. Bruce Lee was infuriated when he found out that although the film studio decided to take up Bruce's concept, they decided to cast David Carradine instead, with the studios citing that Western audiences weren't ready for a hero that looked too oriental, so they picked Carradine. The fighting in Carradines's Kung Fu was quite a slow paced style where as Bruce Lee style was extremely fast. Still Carradine had me tuning in every Friday evening (as I recall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 It's being reported that he was found dead naked in a cupboard with a rope around his neck. Police in Thailand say there are no suspicious circumstances but his family have asked the FBI to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky77 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 He was found with his hands tied up above his head, handing from the wardrobe rack. How was he able to get in this position by himself? Very, very suspicious. Looks like foul play to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
