Q&A
Dude was filming a movie here at our local western movie lot and was in the cantina where tourists can go. I asked for his autograph and he told me to fuck off. I was 10 years old… 😂
He must not have had his morning 8-ball
Cocaine and Xanax smoothie
With an LSD chaser.
Really?, that sounds like it can be a wonderful around Los Angeles
What did the belt say to David Carradine?
"Yo bro, let's hang..."
Wasn’t there a theory it was autoerotic asphyxiation gone wrong? Yikes
“Hang out with your wang out” was used literally.
Dark …. Hilariously dark !
Blackout dark even
Too soon?
The garter belt and bra under his clothes were chafing him.
His wiki says he actually attempted suicide at 5 yrs old. Highly unusual for that age range. I think he was truly miserable / depressed his whole life.
That’s crazy. Wow…
And Hershey was turned on by damaged goods, apparently
Not an excuse for being an asshole to a kid asking for an autograph.
Nope. But rather salient context, no ?
Personally i would tell my kid to leave the man alone.
You could say he was always hanging on by a thread
If only Bruce Lee got his own role in Kung fu. David Carridine wouldn’t be like that.
I've always held the theory that Bruce Lee might still be alive today had he gotten that role. His circumstances around the time of his death might have been different enough to have gotten treatment sooner, since he likely would have still been in the States filming the series around that time.
I may have never known who he was 😂
What a wonderful guy. I wonder what ever happened to him 🤔
Auto asphyxiated in a wardrobe apparently.
His net worth at death was 500k. He must have really love to party ....
I wonder how much he made on the Kill Bill movies?
Shocking, he doesn't sound like a self-strangling jerkoff at all.
He's strangle-nutting in heaven now
The guy was almost 75 and was letting his freak flag fly. Got to hand it to him.
Went out swinging
Me too
This exact same kind of situation happened to me at Gencon '05. A friend and I approached him as he was looking at a model of the Mach 5 from Speed Racer at a booth. We very politely asked for an autograph. He didn't even look up. He just said, "Whatever." Then he put the model down and walked away.
You must have loved it when he auto asphyxiated himself to death.
The ol' choke and stroke.
Nut off nod off
The Funky Spider-Man
Always use the buddy system
Gotta keep a lemon around
Getting his squanch on.
I was on acid when I heard the news and I had just finished watching a movie with an introduction by Carradine, it was weird
Weird stuff always happens when you're on acid. It's like the universe knows you're tripping and sets out to fuck with you.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is that you killed David Carradine. He'd be alive today if you hadn't taken that tab.
It's really true. Having the ability to view things objectively while tripping is a skill. So often, its necessary to turn to your buddy and say "You saw that too, right? It would be weird even if we werent tripping, right?"
Hmm was it some low budget DVD release of Nosferatu that had the option of playing a Type O Negative album instead of the “score”?
Cause I had that DVD and David Carradine did the intro, with a sword cane. I am kind of sad I gave it away.
Yes that was it. It was crazy on acid.
Got em
So you’re saying he was a real jerk off to hanged around
The air went out of the room when he came
damn, that’s a bummer of a story. I had no idea he was like that. you can’t tell from their on screen personas…
Of course, I thought what a coincidence to see this post today as I just read a random article about him yesterday complaining about Hollywood’s focus on “less masculine, feminine” guys these days like timothee chalamet 🤣
Wait, he died in 2009. Chalomet was like 13
I completely mixed him up with another actor lol
Why? He disnt exactly come off warm & fuzzy in any role I ever saw him in. I'm not surprised he was a creep.
The guy was a dick. I have a relative who was assigned to drive him to a filming location. They weren't familiar with any of his work and he spent the entire 90 minute drive berating them for not knowing his work and calling them stupid.
Well, he died suffocating himself while jerking off, so I’d say you got the last laugh.
At least he died, doing what he loved.
Not "Fuck off, grasshopper"?
😂
You would have lost the auto. Instead he gave you a story you can tell forever. Win.
Well, you probably had it coming... /s
😂 Fucking kids
No…. He was jerking off
Shoulda asked for it on a belt
I just remember he was in the army and was arrested like 50 times over his life and his brother played Louis in ROTN. Wasn't his father a famous actor too?
He ended up being a real jerk...
Really left you hanging
lol what a great story! So much better than an autograph if you ask me.
Well, if it’s any consolation he died jacking off.
💩
He had doors to see , himself to choke.
Classic Dave😂
Like dying while masturbaring, for one.
Was he like a known scumbag? I don't know much from him beyond this movie
Dude undid his belt tho
They can go get a belt or a neck tie to hang themselves by Like David Carradine, they can go fuck themselves and just die
She was great in The Entity.
The Entity scared me as a kid back then. I do not understand why my parents let me watch that with them.
Same! That movie scared me so much back then. I'm 47 now and watched it recently. STILL makes me feel 😬.
Yes! I always remembered how freaky it was when I saw it as a kid and I watched it recently ( 48) so Messed up!
If you had been a little older the ghost rape scene would have completely distracted you from the scary parts.
Haha, that’s all I remember from that movie!
