pdvd_0081

On this day in 2009, actor David Carradine died in Bangkok, Thailand, yesterday. While he will be best remembered for his role as Kwai Chang Caine on the television series, “Kung Fu”, Carradine will also be remembered for his cool screen presence. It was last seen in peak form when he played the title character in “Kill Bill Vol. 1 and 2″. However, for me it was best exemplified in his portrayal of Cole Younger, alongside his brothers Keith and Robert, in “The Long Riders”, the best retelling of the Jesse James’ Gang ever put on film.

    “The Long Riders” is one of my favorite films. This makes me sad.
