It is a sad day in Kung-Fu-Topia. Two venerable stars of kung fu cinema have passed on to that great dojo in the sky today. Shih Kien (96), best known from his role as Han, the one handed villain of Enter the Dragon*, and David Carradine (72), of the Kung Fu series and more recently Kill Bill movies, both played major roles in the popularization of the genre.

*For his role as Han, he did not speak any English. Instead he learned how the mouth movements for the English words looked and mimicked these movements so that the English could be later dubbed in.

I seriously had a visit from the crazy fairy last night while sleeping. I had a dream where David Carradine was playing as Bill and talking to me….. i’m NOT KIDDING. Then i woke up and read the newspaper later, finding out he hung himself and FREAKED OUT.
