Grasshopper dead.

Sadly.

Quote:

Kill Bill and Kung Fu star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room, BBC correspondent Jonathan Head has reported.

The 72-year-old was in Thailand filming his latest film Stretch, according to his personal manager Chuck Binder.

Mr Binder said the news was "shocking", adding: "He was full of life, always wanting to work... a great person."

I remember back in '74 when Kung Fu was at the height of popularity we used to practise drop kicks on each other at school. Thanks Dave, great times. :bow:

This is indeed sad news. Kung Fu was awesome.

"When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave."

We shall bow at you, man. I did not see Kung Fu, but what I saw what Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, which was something good, to me. I'm going to see it tomorrow, not that Im in home with Tv.

Re: Grasshopper dead.

It's ironic given the manner of his death that he was found in a city with that name.

"Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?"
"Old man, how is it that you hear these things?"
"Young man, how is it that you do not?"

A great show that had lasting impact on this one.

RIP.

Hehehe, one of my "must watch" programs as a kid, every other activity came to a halt in my neighborhood when Kung Fu came on. We used to try to simulate blocking arrows *from a play bow* and thrown spears *broom sticks* just like our hero...somehow nobody got seriuosly hurt. They still show the reruns once in a while.

Dave had been hosting "Wild West Tech" recently too, but he'll always be Caine to me. RIP Grasshopper.
