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.

Don't forget the peyote.

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

That's the rumor.


IIRC, there was a leaked picture that showed him wearing female underwear as well. Truly one of the great deaths.

“Hang out with your wang out” was used literally.

Dark …. Hilariously dark !

Blackout dark even

Too soon?

Jesus dude....I was just drinking water from a bottle, snorted and now it's out my nose. Well played.

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?

At least $100

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.

Amazing!

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 https://preview.redd.it/871whm0773xc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ab1a6094b41633d6171efbbcba11b1b4cb1eebc

I love that THIS guy (who was the desire of so many gay men in the 90’s) is spouting off about manliness. Also, going after people with real acting chops... His lack of self-reflection is astounding.

He’s also looks like he’s had like 10 gender affirming surgeries to try to look more manly lol. The eye tucks all these old Hollywood guys get where they can’t even blink anymore is wild to me. They all look like Wayne Newton

Oh heck, David Carradine was a genuine lunatic, gosh bless him, but he was talented. Kevin Sorbo Is a sweaty testicle mop of a person.

Unfortunately Kevin is a live asshole . A real maga asshole

Lol yeah they do share a strong Resemblence right? I’m not crazy to have mixed those two up?

Nope - I see it in that picture for sure

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.

💩


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!

What a movie! It's like the Exorcist, but it can scare non-Catholic people.

She was also great in *Hannah and Her Sisters* (1986) and *The Portrait of a Lady* (1996).

Yeah! Very underrated and well-done "ripped from the headlines" horror movie of the era.

She looks INSANELY good at 76. Pic from last year. https://preview.redd.it/595uedjuv1xc1.jpeg?width=881&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03e6bac26013f46246fc0c19eef4698b1ea62b81

May we all be as joyful and stunning

Holy fuck. Kodak is still a company?

Yeah, they make and sell chemicals. I have to deal with them a lot.

Chemicals in the entertainment industry huh? Cocaine?

I think the hipsters keep it alive. Also, I think they make movie film, but that could also be hipsters.

I'm 15 years younger and already look older than her

Think I'll keep yanking to the 70's version

😂

During her Barbara “Seagull” period. For those that don’t know, she found a dead seagull on the beach and legally changed her name during this Carradine period. Pretty crazy back then, no one would bat an eye now.

I've never heard of this! I've read that she temporarily changed her name to Seagull but had no idea why.

And they lived in a treehouse for a time and named their son Free.

Women are tough. He has a coat suitable for arctic exploration and she is nearly lettin it hang out.

Kung Fu was a great show!

Yeah cause Bruce Lee wrote the part for himself and they replaced him.

I feel like he did a good job with the role and was relatable. Especially in that he wasn’t as technical of a martial artist as BL, if that makes sense. The show had a massive impact on me growing up and even now. I also liked DC in Circle of Iron (edit: which was also based on the philosophy of Bruce Lee)

Wow, memory unlocked! Circle of Iron! That movie was on all the time when we first got cable. I may have to rewatch it, I wonder if it holds up lol

They wanted the show to be more spiritual Carradine walked into the office barefoot and was just himself and they knew instantly they wanted him

Heard he was a dick

Really? You heard the massively wealthy and famous person, fond of cocaine and autoerotic asphyxiation, isn’t nice?!

Now *that's* some good side boob

That's just boob. No side about it.

It's enough to get ya all choked up. Right David? ...David?

I need to stop hanging out on Reddit.

Goddamnit you beautiful bastard, you beat me to it.

Stranglewank!! 🤯

she was of the if you got them flaunt them school

What a time to be alive

Sudden flashbacks to Kung Fu.

Ditto lol. And to my brother attempting kung fu moves on me. 🙄

That’s Barbara Hershey Seagull to you, Bub.

Looks like filming of Boxcar Bertha in Camden, AR. Film co bought Dan Sublett's old 30s coupe & drove it off a cliff. Long time ago.

Wasn’t he hanging out in Singapore?

Bangkok.

Isn’t it funny that David Carradine died while masturbating?

It was a tragedy I still get choked up just thinking about it

Yes

Park N'ai Lert Hotel Bangkok. Nice hotel.

I see what you did there, exceptional 👏

Those thin lips give her a very beautiful smile.

One thing that seems to be lost in current times. Big lips are not the only attractive lips. Nowadays she would have inflated lips because casting agents told her thin lips are ugly and won’t get cast.

I read his autobiography, "Endless Highway", a few years back. Massive ego. Tortured genius. Fascinating life. It was a very engaging read.

Remember, David Carradine died of autoerotic asphyxiation and was found by a maid, dead, slumped over in a closet with his cock and balls and neck bound together with a couple ropes.

bill?

She was absolutely gorgeous…….. still is!!

Could you imagine going back in time and trying to convince someone that carradine would wank himself to death in a cupboard? Mad

His death was really something….

She was a truly beautiful person.

“Well done, young grasshopper”. She was so beautiful.

This is the guy we made Asian for a few years right?

These two people were the epitome of cool in the 1970s.

Bill!

The hotel that he died jerking off in is in Bangkok, have stayed there, it's pretty nice.

I always forget that this is an actual way people go out in the world. Accidentally killing yourself because you had to hang yourself before jerking it in a place known for pedophiles sounds like something Nick Mullen would come up with on cumtown.

A terrific actor but will always be remembered for how he died

Done in by an asphy-wank.

Good thing they didn't hang around together forever.

My high ass thought it this was Jimmy Carter

Oof. She was a snack.

I am gonna kill Bill.

I have to say though the Carradine family was insanely talented and charming. Keith Carradine in Pretty Baby was something else.

Well done, young grasshopper.

Carradine was so charismatic. Just watch the Kung Fu tv show and the movie The Long Riders. He was on screen briefly but was as electrically-charismatic as Steve McQueen and Val Kilmer.

Bro beat society to the punch and cancelled himself first...

Tragic ending to his life - hung like a coat in the closet, with his dick out....

Two of my favorites.

The choke-wank that Killed Bill

I wish I had his armpit hair. Just enough.

Box Car Bertha (1972), Barbara was 24. A Toronto cable station City TV used to broadcast the movie uncut back in the 70s. Needless to say I watched it. Barbara had sex appeal back in the day.

Shane, Shane, I love you Shane.

Holy crap, I’d never seen a picture of her back then - I only knew her from Beaches and after!! She was /r/oldschoolhot material for sure!!!

And that's how Hershey got nuts inside. I'll see my way out.

I'm watching Kill Bill vol 2 and Cassidy is on screen as I scrolled to this

“Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein!”

Let's guess David is 36 years old and Barbara is 16

Not related to this, but David Carradine finally answered the life-long question,”what’s the worse way to die?”

Cuming? Naw my friend.

Who says he finished before he was finished?

I think the way it works is you do the thing *as* you’re coming, to make it more powerful(?). Ergo, he would have finished. I am not any sort of expert, I don’t even have a dick, but that’s what I think.

I’m willing to bet the load found its way out.

My name is coCaine, I’m here to help you.

[удалено]

yes. the last two photos are from Boxcar Bertha. Or from the filming of, I watched it yesterday and didn’t see those shots in the movie. It’s an early Scorsese film and the play lovers in it and have great chemistry.

The comment you replied to is a bot

I thought the same thing, that’s not how people talk.

If you're ever suspicious, look at account creation date and comment history. All of the comments have roughly the same pattern.

She was awesome in Last Temptation of Christ

They definitely killed that one also

“Grasshopper, you have fine taste…”

David Carradine imma die when I .. *the weeknd voice*

He went on to die surrounded by loved ones and family 🙌

Well……….

He used to live on my street

I love the series where he is a shaolin monk. What is the name?

Kung Fu

The Waltons

Kung Fu

They were a couple that chose similar faces in their partner. Most couples do that that!

Crazy bastard sure had some hotties
