Oh, this is just far too goofy not to post. In the days before his unexpected and untimely passing, cult icon David Carradine was at work on quite a number of projects, many of which are wrapping post now and should be releasing over the next year. There were big budget, high profile projects like Yuen Woo-Ping's True Legend . And then there were other more, shall we call them, modest productions....
Jackie Chan will star in a $29 million Chinese-language remake of 1982's The Shaolin Temple with Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse and Fan Bingbing. The film will be about China's famed shrine of martial arts, a 1,500-year old temple whose famous fighting monks have featured in films by stars such as Bruce Lee and Jet Li, and in the 1970s TV series "Kung Fu" with David Carradine.

The Younger Son and I watched Kill Bill, vol. 2 , in which we actually get to see David Carradine's titular Bill, last night while The Husband and The Daughter were at church and The Elder Son was at work. There was much more narrative and much less action in this one. Directed by Quentin Tarentino , it stars David Carradine and Uma Thurman . trailer: The New York Times calls it "the most voluptuous...
From China comes True Legend (aka Su Qi-Er), the latest martial arts epic from Yuen Woo-Ping, the fight choreographer on all three Matrix movies and Kill Bill. The film stars Michelle Yeoh (who you'll recognize from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Man Cheuk Chiu as the lead. IMDb lists David Carradine as part of the cast as well as Jay Chou, who is playing Kato in The Green Hornet, as the "God...
It took well over a decade for action legend Yuen Woo-Ping to return to the director's seat, and he certainly hasn't chosen the easiest of subjects to tackle, either. That is because the hero of his upcoming wuxia 苏乞儿 (True Legend) is none other than Beggar Su (the Su Qi Er of the title), one of the most famous names in the martial arts canon. previously essayed by greats like...
He’s known for being the martial arts choreographer of 'The Matrix' films, the Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon , and the 'Kill Bill' flicks, but Yuen Woo-Ping has also had quite the accomplished directorial career. Drunken Master , released in 1978, made a star out of a then-obscure Jackie Chan, and both Fist of Legend and Iron Monkey are considered classics of the genre. After...
The Younger Son and I were on our own tonight, so we decided to watch a movie while we ate some drive-through burgers. He picked Kill Bill: vol. 1 (2003) , which we were pretty sure would not be watchable for The Husband. I had bought both movies soon after the sad death of David Carradine , who plays the titular "Bill" . Uma Thurman plays the woman out to kill Bill. Quentin Tarantino directs....
You knew that when South Park returned it would work in one of the many celebrity deaths that happened over the past several months. But last night's episode actually had, well, all of them: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, David Carradine, and all the others. Ike started to see their ghosts and was sent to a psychiatrist for it. Here's the full episode . Chipotlaway is disgusting but hysterical. What...
On Weds, South Park kicked off their 13th season with a episode definitely engineered to create controversy…less so for social commentary, which they do pretty well, but more so because they “went there” by including this year’s many celebrity passings, drawing in Billy Mays, David Carradine, Ed McMahon, Patrick Swayze, Farrah Fawcett, Bea Arthur, Walter [...]
In the HIGHlarious (although, some would argue crass) season premiere, deceased celebrities rose from their grave to haunt the boys of South Park. Billy Mays, David Carradine, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Walter Cronkite, DJ AM and Michael Jackson were just some celebrities to be trapped in purgatory, waiting to enter heaven. Jackson went as far as [...]
On the bad taste scale, South Park and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia vie for the top spot. Few other programs see no taboos when it comes to laughs. Case in pint? Deceased celebrities.
