Mr Carradine, most famous for his role as Bill in the Kill Bill saga, was found dead in Bangkok today. Early reports state that the cause of death is suicide.

A very sad day indeed.

Most famous for Kill Bill to maybe this generation, but to me he will always be Kwai Chang Caine from the TV series "Kung Fu" with a smidgen of Frankenstein from Death Race 2000.

Still it is a sad day.

I hated that stupid Kung Fu series just because they used a white guy. Kill Bill was good though.

Suicide? :rolleyes:

I agree as well, Kwai Chang Caine was his true breakthrough character.

Ahhh, Grasshopper, when you can move the BBQ with your bare hands without being burned, THEN you are truly a master!

That was such a funny movie. I remember one scene where one of the drivers sees a sign for the old folks home and makes a detour. All you see is bodies flying over the hedges...

lol

OK so my memory is a little fuzzy, but this is the clip;
