I'm thinking terminal illness that he didn't want to suffer with.

He was there making a movie.

Rumor has it that he broke some serious Thai law and knew that his ass was grasshopper.

BBC sez:

the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body.

Sounds like a very embarrassing accident a la Michael Hutchence et al.

I kinda hope that's the explanation.

Incidentally, I have here a copy of the original Kwai Chang Cain pilot. Suppose it's worth posting?

I would just like to state for the record that Banjo's topic title is among the greatest topic titles of all time.

I wonder why the DC camp feels the need to correct the "suicide" media story, as if it's somehow more honorable or preferable to have strangled himself jerking off.

An accidental death from jerking off IS more honorable than committing suicide because of mental illness or for some trivial reason!

Edit:  Plus his life insurance won't pay his beneficiaries if his death is determined to be suicide.

I know that.  That's why I said death from jacking off is more honorable than committing suicide.

Look mate... it's really not shameful that you are in that same boat as Rush, just give in and give Viagra a go.

The rest of us won't laugh...

Actually, not true.  Depends on the policy.  As for mine, after the initial two years of payments mine pays the full amount, regardless of cause of death, specifically including suicide.  I'm good for a cool $1M as soon as the reaper shows up, whether I invited him or he comes of his own volition.

Tell your beneficiaries I'm for hire for at least 5%.

That's all cool, but let's say you are a Marine or soldier out defending the American Corporate machine, will that machine sell you life insurance? ...i think not.  Although their profits depend upon your success they will in no way partake in that particular risk to keep their revenue stream alive.

The largest lie in all of capitalism, you lay your life on the line to perserve their business model yet they refuse to insure you and your family's future.

Please leave me in a small room with just a few of them and their bought politicians....

Your HOA may not be any nicer than your insurance company.

That's just fucking awesome

Have they located the two midget Thai trannyboi's and their great dane yet?

I hate my HOA!  I replaced a rotting old utility shed when I first moved into my home with one the HOA said has the wrong roof shape.  I had to put in a screened patio in front of my utility shed so that it couldn’t be seen from the street!  To redo my front landscaping, I would need to submit a plan in writing with sketches for approval!  When the time comes to repaint the house, there’s a limited palette of boring colors I’m allowed to choose from.  Never buy a house that falls within the jurisdiction of a HOA!  I’m far less interested in improving my property because of my HOA.

Yep, fuck HOA's.

Funny, the first two people who built in my old neighborhood became the first "presidents" of our HOA when management of it was turned over from the bank.

They made buddies with the first 10-12 people to move in, then seemed to have an incumbent lock on Prez and VP of our neighborhood association, no matter how many fliers me and some other folks put out.

The part that pissed me off is that the landscaping company (that handled everything from maintaining common grounds to snow removal to street light replacement) was owned by the same two people (with their trucks displayed for all to see in the driveway).

It seemed our neighborhood was their only clients and our dues didn't mesh well with what little was being performed by this partnership.

Regardless, I hear they still run the show.

Still laughing at that one.

We were right, it was auto-erotic asphyxiation.

Apparently the NY Post had the same thought.

Off IMDB comments- the guy sounded like a fuckup

Carradine' Drunken Freak Out @ the Aero, Santa Monica

The Aero in santa monica showed Bound for Glory last night. Never saw the movie before. I really enjoyed it.

any way about two thirds of the way in someone is speaking loud behind us. A lot of old hollywood types show up at the Aero and often comment during the films...."Oh you remember such and such. Last time i saw him...." and so on. they are old and deaf and loud. Anyway one of these hollywood elephant men starts talking. I look behind me and it's Carradine. Ok, cool let him talk. He addressed the whole room as he did. People didn't know it was him and shushed him up. pretty damn funny. One guy got up and went to tell him to be quiet and I guess he realized it was Carradine. So Carradine shuts up. The whole thing was pretty funny to my wife and I.

the Aero is split level. we were sitting on the lower level in the last row. behind us on the upper level is a wheel chair spot. the floor where the chair would be parked is at our shoulder level as we are seated. Not sure if that makes sense, but Carradine is sits in this spot right behind us. His leg or knee is touching my arm as it is extend around my wife's shoulder. he's that close. The movie ends and I turned around and said, "Hey, how many times have you ever been hushed in your own movie?" He didn't hear me and leaned forward. I repeated and he leans closer. on the third repeat he hears me and laughs. his face is really close to mine. He smells like alcohol.

Now the Q and A begins. Carradine is joined by critic Kevin Thomas, the actor who played Ozark Bule and Haskell Wexler. Very cool. Carradine has the mic is loud and just talks not letting anyone in, not that anyone is trying to cut him off. as the monologue wears on he makes some statement about how unions now are bad, cites some wages posted at a toyota factory in Tenn. vs. wages posted at a GM factory in Detroit. He probably has a point,but he is loud and rude about it. A woman raises her hand and says, something about he may not know about the whole story there and that he should know all the facts, etc. well, carradine blows up. yells at her. he's rude and shouting. Shout loud, really loud. people are yelling at him and her as they take sides, so she gets up to leave. he stands, as he keeps yelling at her. She stops half way up the aisle and she tells him she won't stay here if he keeps yelling and cutting her off. He stands and says you want to talk? here take the mic and he throws(!!!) it at her. It hits a woman sitting down front!!!! turns out the woman is some how part of the American Cinematheque powers that be. crazy. Some where around this time the actor who played Ozark got up and left. any way from then on it is totally adversarial. He gets more and more beligerant, rude, and self righteous.

Later he attacks Haskell Wexler. Carradine says, "Bound for Glory is my greatest movie and Wexler ruined it." Seriously, he said this no less than twice. *beep* Wexler got the academy award for this film! Carradine is yelling at Wexler and saying Bound for Glory is "my film," "he ruined my film," and "I am Woody Guthery." What a train wreck. Carradine says all sorts of misinformation about camera and cinematography choices. For example someone got a question in and asked Wexler about how they achieved the sand storm effect. Carradine cuts off Wexler and said it was a painting. Wexler corrected him that is was a special effects shot of smoke blown into a tank and matted in later. This was met by a loud belligerent Carradine. Wexler several times would correct him only to be shouted at. At some point, Carradine says Ashby was going to fire wexler because he "ruined" the film. Carradine even goes as far to say the cinematography choices were wrong and he disliked them. Wexler threw some back at Carradine saying he worked with Ashby FOUR more times after this movie and Carradine only worked on one film. Carradine later said he did coke with Ashby and Tarantino.

A sort of sad moment was during the union arguments, I think, and Carradine said the economy is so bad right now he was having troubles putting food on the table for his kids and paying bills. This was said in a sad, angry drunk man tone. pitiful really.

During all this yelling and badgering, Kevin Thomas, critic a$$h0le says nothing. he just lets it go on and on. What an embarassment.

This was so bad my words can't even get close to adequately describing all the shenanigans.

If you don't believe any of this, try calling KPCC and see if you can get a copy of the video they took of the whole thing.

The American Cinematheque should ban David Carradine from both the Egyptian and Aero. He was that big of an a$$h0le. Kevin Thomas should not be allowed to host any events, because he was so unprofessional in his moderation of the discussion.

I'd love to hear from others that were there.

Let the conspiracy speculation begin!

I don't see this thread having the staying power to stay sticky. Kung Fu wasn't that great a show* and Carradine wasn't that great an actor.



*but I'm unAmerican, because I hated Mash and All in the Family, too. Sanford and Son wasn't all that bad, but if Redd died last week would we be all goofy like this? I doubt it.


PS: points to Banjo for Hung Fu. And I'm in Bakersfield in June and it was only 87° today. Had to post it somewhere.

I think of death Race 2000 first every time Carradine is mentioned. I was surprised by his imdb entry-- he seems to have been working steadily for 40+ years. I expected at least 15 years of no acting filled by a sex and drug fueled sabbatical. But I guess appearing in a couple of episodes of tv a year would only require a few days at most of lucidity.
