Died while being services by a hooker, with a rope wrapped around your junk, inside the closet of a hotel, in friggin’ Bangkock…

Well done sir. Well done.

RIP.

INDEPENDENT FILM “PORTLAND” MOURNS LOSS OF DAVID CARRADINE

Actor David Carradine was set to co-star in the feature film entitled PORTLAND shooting in Los Angeles, CA and Portland, OR this summer.

Los Angeles, CA, June 4, 2009 – The cast, crew, and producing team behind the feature film Portland are shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic passing of co-star David Carradine on the eve of principal photography.

Portland was set to be David’s next film and was his only project currently in pre-production. Helmed by Matthew Mishory, the picture stars Erin Daniels, Jonathan Caouette, Steven Martini, Renee Victor, and Alex Schemmer. Carradine was set to play a pivotal role in the film and this has been a great loss for the entire PORTLAND family. “An actor of David Carradine’s stature behind our film meant the world to us,” said executive producers Adrian Salpeter and Elizabeth Levine of Random Bench Productions. “Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time”.

The team is committed to this film and are considering other actors to replace the irreplaceable David Carradine. The producers and all involved are moving forward with the production in his memory.

Mr. Carradine was truly a living legend of stage and screen, having worked with Martin Scorsese, Hal Ashby, Ingmar Bergman, and Quentin Tarantino, among many others, in a career that spanned nearly five decades.

Writer/director Matthew Mishory adds, “every filmmaker aspires to work with an iconic actor like David Carradine, he was one of a kind”.

So, the cause of death was from the five point palm exploding LUNGS technique then.

I’ll always remember him for Death Race 2000. I saw it at the drive-in when I was a kid, and my mom made us go to sleep in the back seat when the massage scene came on. Of course we peeked over the front seat to keep watching. My brothers and I used to watch Kung Fu also. I haven’t seen it since it was originally on, but I remember liking him in it. I’m not a fan of the Kill Bill movies, but I though he was good in them. It’s sad to see him go, especially in such a tragic way.

Maybe he is the third of the “always in threes” rule…along with Dom Deluise and Bea Arthur. Unfortunate and sad.

Aw man. That’s too bad. No more wandering the Earth and getting into adventures for him.

Poon Dong? Jesus! Maybe I need to check out CRANK 2.

When I was a kid, they played “Kung Fu” reruns every Saturday and Sunday. I loved that show.

I think he would be more remembered for his performance in Kill Bill than in Crank: High Voltage, at least to the younger generations.

It is sad to hear of his passing.

He always seemed like a real cool guy who was OK with his lot in life. It’s sad to see that he apparently hung himself.. Here’s hoping he was murdered and it was set up to look like suicide.
