THE BUMRUSH

A bumrush goodbye to our favorite lunch pail actor in the movie making business today, David Carradine, who died on June 3rd while filming a movie in Thailand. While the final cause of death has not been officially released, it's likey that he died the way every warm blooded movie star should go: hanging naked in a closet with a rope tied around his neck and penis after a failed attempt at auto-erotic asphyxiation.

That's only one of the reasons why we love David Carradine. Despite the Bruce Lee-was-created-the-idea-for-Kung-Fu-controversy, Carradine took the original Kung Fu television series, owned it, and parlayed that into a career full of movies and television appearances that almost no one can remember other than the Kill Bill movies. The man made movies the way I eat: fast, dirty, and immediately onto something else.
