Noooooo!!

carradine

David Carradine found dead.

This is terrible, terrible news. The world just lost one of the greats of the past 40 years.

If you've never witnessed the magic of Kung Fu, and I'm not talking about that crappy Kung Fu: The Legend Continues series from the early 90's (that was NOT Kung Fu)) you're missing a tremendous television legend, and something that has just begged to be given the proper big-screen treatment.

I was just pondering the other day how I'd like to take the original 90 min. pilot and recut it with a few of the other highlight episodes to make a 3 hour Kung Fu epic, just for my own enjoyment.

I'm anxiously awaiting details on how the 72 year-old met his demise in a Bangkok hotel room...

I have fond memories of the original KUNG FU TV series. Poor Grasshopper.

Probably an accidental sexual thing. Like that guy from INXS.

Hmmmm. I keep hearing conflicting reports. I bet by the end of the day the full truth behind it will be out; let's hope!

And I pray he didn't hang himself...

" The body of American actor David Carradine, best known for the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu," was found in a hotel room closet with a rope tied to his neck and genitals, and his death may have been accidental suffocation, Thai police said Friday."

That's why it's probably the self-sexual hanging thing. Just like the guy in INXS. I mean, why would he tie his genitals if he was just going to kill himself? He was probably drunk or high and whoops.
