David Carradine snatches last pebble

Kung Fu was one of my all time favorite TV shows as a kid.

Thanks for all the memories DC, may you rest in piece.

'David Carradine snatches last pebble" (tentoze)


Master Kan: When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave
 
They are reporting now he may have hung himself in his hotel closet with a curtain cord!!!!!!

How ODD
 
IMO his best role was as Cole Younger in the Walter Hill picture "The Long Riders".

His father John was in many John Ford pictures and was one of the few actors Ford couldn't rattle.

John Carradine as the sinister Tory, Caldwell, in Ford's "Drums Along the Mohawk", 1939

BBC is quoting Thai police as saying that Carradine, 72, was found sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his body and neck.
 
Little known fact - The TV show Kung Fu was never canceled, David walked off the set in search of bigger and better things.

Sad news, indeed. :tears:

I was having a conversation just two days ago with the lady who cuts my hair (who is within one year of me in age) about how all the TV stars who were big when we were kids, are now at the age where they are dying off in rapid succession... now another one is gone. :sigh: Quite a reminder of one's own almost-impending mortality.

R.I.P., Mr. Carradine. Rest well, Cain.
And thanks for the memories... and the legacy that can still be re-enjoyed on disc.
 
It's kinda of strange, I just purchased his first year series of Kung Fu on DVD, about 3 weeks ago. I think it was about 23 bucks at Best Buy. Anyway, Its just great...watched the set in about 2 days. Its full wide screen, excellent quality, no commercials to interupt. Had a hunch my neighbor might like it, so I borrowed it to him, he asked if there was a 2nd season when he returned it. Such a unique story and series..man, still cool and timeless.
