It's a shame - the guy was a unique presence.

Whoa, two threads in four seconds. Mods, please nuke mine.

Wow, somebody killed Bill. Bill himself.

RIP. It was in Bangkok, so no telling what was going on. Maybe suicide, maybe something weird.

The Murray Head song is on a continuous loop in my head.

Pai Mei taught somebody the five point palm-exploding heart technique.

Death Race 2000 was the first 'R' rated movie I saw (and I was much too young, but we had HBO and the parents were out). RIP, Frankenstein.

I guess that he was finally able to snatch the pebble ...

RIP

RIP Kwai Chang Caine. The Carradine name is royalty in Hollywood. He was married five times but had a deep live in relationship with actress Barbara Hershey. They appeared in the movie Box Car Bertha, directed by Matin Scorsese. There is a tremendous love scene in the flick between Hershey and Carradine and they claim that was where their son Free, also known as Tom who is a special effects artist, was conceived.
Carradine's portrayal of a Shaolin monk in the TV series Kung Fu was comical in that Hollywood thought a WASP could portray an asian. At any rate, he did help promote Kung Fu, which was then at its height in popularity with Bruce Lee still living.

Bruce Lee just woke up in Heaven with a huge erection. He eagerly awaits Carradine's arrival.

Yeah. I can see Bruce drop-kicking Carradine through the pearly gates.
But I understand the two had a good relationship.

Unique dude, had a sense of humor about himself, and he was the best part of Kill Bill. RIP.
