    Sales of Kung Fu on DVD will probably skyrocket…

    Oh, shit! I was, just yesterday, out of the blue, remembering the B movies THE WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS and CIRCLE OF IRON very fondly.That’s weird, how that will happen.My dad and I were big fans of the fun-but-shitty syndicated KUNG-FU: THE LEGEND CONTINUES, as well. I grew up on the fun cheez-mysticism of Carradine’s movies and TV show.

    Some former stars bow out gracefully like Carradine, others get too much plastic surgery and shill for neo-nazis: http://bp3.blogger.com/_I2j2VVNXosc/RsgzOlXji3I/AAAAAAAAASc/v9EMsG_zQnU/s1600-h/chuck_norris_plastic_surgery.jpgBut I’m jes’ sayin’…don’t let Hal “Psychotic Terrorist” Turner or Chuck “Walker, Texas Rump Ranger” Norris know I wrote this, or you-know-what will happen to you-know-who.

    One of the best closing lines in all of the movies… when, mortally wounded, falling to his knees, he calls beatrice the “c” word. brilliant!

    I don’t think hanging oneself in a Bangkok hotel counts as “going out gracefully”. Carradine was a great actor at his height. I wonder what demons drove him to take his own life at 73. Was he facing a serious medical/mental crisis?

    According to some of the British papers, there was also a noose around his genitals? Auto-erotic asphyxiation gone horribly wrong?
