RIP, Remembering David Carradine.
We're not David Carradine fanatics per se, but we liked the guy; he seemed to have that aged, charmed wisdom and suicides, if that indeed is the case, are always sad. Something to remember him by that's not "Kung Fu" (we won't pretend to have fondness for a show we never really spent time with). A fun deleted scene from "Kill Bill 2" where he got to show off how bad-ass his Bill character was featuring Michael Jai White, who starred in "Spawn," but was obviously was cut from 'KB2.'
Here's the first 10 minutes of Hal Ashby's "Bound For Glory" in which Carradine played folk hero Woody Guthrie, another movie of his we love, and beat out a ton of people for the role, including Tim Buckley and Bob Dylan. He earned a Golden Globe nomination for the role.
Here he is in Martin Scorsese' "Boxcar Bertha" in 1972 with Barbara Hershey, but note the clip is NSFW.
Last, but not least, Ingmar Bergman's "The Serpents Egg" trailer from 1977.

Yea, apparently Carradine and Hershey had for real sex in that film. I've actually never seen it.
I'm starting to get the impression it was autoerotic asphyxiation that killed him. He apparently was a pretty happy guy, and, well, he was naked when they found him.
I will second that thought, Lolita, since Simon's early report entailed ropes tied to other parts of his body, or something of that disturbing nature.
