Following Sange's post on Mr. Eddings.

I really enjoyed Carradine's work. Sure, as a kid I saw him in his role in Kung Fu. I saw him as a bad guy, as a good guy, etc. Personally, my favorite role is that of Bill in Kill Bill...

I'll miss his work.

It seems he died in a curious way...

Yeah, I read about that stuff with the ropes. It kind of confuses me... :?

I also remember watching David Carradine in Kung Fu and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues as a child years ago. In my opinion, those were the two best roles he ever had. A lot of the buddhist stuff in those two shows was very poetic. I think I'm going to watch some of those episodes again now to remember him by. At least he got to live a long and successful life, but he still died before his time at 72...

hmmm...

Yeah. Real shame. I first read about it from Wikinews. It really came as a slight shock for me. :(
Anyone know more about his death?
EDIT: Ok. I already found what I was looking for and now I wish I hadn't found it.

hmmm..

I was typing a reply, but thinking again, it´s better not.

Hmmm...

Well, as for me, I will watch as many movies I can find where he has worked. He had a very, very odd way of acting, but I always liked that style. In my childhood, he always seemed like a stickman...

I think the moral of the story is:

When threading through the realms of pleasure, do make sure thy neck and other appendages know no bounds that may stay them from moving as freely as birds in flight.

Can't say I give a toss. I contributed to his livelihood for buying Kill Bill 1 & 2. Now he blew it all away on his "sex fetish" or possible assassination by some Triad group.

And Kung Fu was a crap programme, btw.

I just thought the same.
