that's a shame...and to kill himself at the age of 72. one has to wonder how long he had been suffering.
whatever torment he was in may have been with him for years, at that age.

Carradine was cast because the Hollywood execs decided that people wouldn't watch a show with an oriental as the main character.  The show was originally going to have Bruce Lee.  Such weird ways that life has of creating opportunities and life changes for us.  Bruce had to leave America to avoid his bill collectors because he couldn't get a job and he was broke.  David Carradine ended up learning martial arts and transforming himself because of the role.  Bruce Lee went to Hong Kong and became a huge international star.  (and people seemed to like movies with an oriental as the lead).

Very sad. I loved the Kung Fu series, and I really loved his performance in the Kill Bill movies.

Yeppers. Josey Wales and 'High Plains Drifter' are prolly my fave CE movies.

While watching 'Shane' recently, I realized 'Pale Rider' parallels pretty closely. But the storyline is not exactly unique, so maybe I was just projecting.

It's about as complicated as it can get, that's for sure. It leaves a hole in the collective soul...
