David Carradine 1936 - 2009

As news dribbles in we are left to wonder why... Perhaps having been cast as Poon Dong, a Chinese mobster, in the action film "Crank: High Voltage" ... Maybe something else.

Current thinking by authorities in Thailand is that the man found hanging naked in a Bangkok hotel closet had snatched his pebble.



My brother Ken said:
Bummer. I remember when I was a college freshman, a guy on the floor started a ‘tradition’ where we got together in someone’s room and watched Kung Fu. We had fun with it, making jokes about the Grasshopper/mentor relationship, but the show had a good story, and a good message.

Goodbye, Grasshopper.

    I'm thinking this is like Michael Hutchence of INXS.

    Poon Dong?

    Are you suggesting suicidal embarassment, or homicidal rage at Hollywood's racial stereotypes?

    Interesting question. All I can say is initial reports sound more like face-saving PR from the Bangkok hotel industry than a true representation of fact.
