I'm even old enough to remember his role in Kung Fu, but maybe I'll watch Kill Bill 1/2 this weekend.

It's funny because I watched Enter The Dragon last night (awesome in case you were wondering) and I started thinking about the old kung fu stars and what Carradine was up to. Apparently he is sparring with Bruce. I might have to watch Kill Bill now.

He died of autoerotic asphyxiation... (Or his Thai hooker didn't understand the safe word and bailed after he croaked)

Kung Fu star Carradine found dead

Kill Bill and Kung Fu star David Carradine has been found dead in a Bangkok hotel room.

Thai police told the BBC the 72-year-old was found by a hotel maid sitting in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and genitals on Thursday morning.

The US star 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."

Carradine was part of an acting dynasty which included his father, John Carradine, and brothers Bruce, Keith and Robert.

The star was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine in the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, which spawned sequels in the '80s and '90s.

After a career which included more than 100 movies with directors such as Martin Scorsese and Ingmar Bergman, he recently found fame again thanks to his role in Quentin Tarantino's 2003 film Kill Bill.

He is survived by his wife, Annie Bierman, and four children.

May your soul rest in peace.

I remember watching the first Shaolin series as a little kid, but years later I came across the remake and it is still awesome. I even bought a book he wrote about his "journey" with Kung Fu.
