Where does David Carradine rank among the great western movie stars?
High enough, as he was awarded the Golden Boot and honored in the Santa Clarita Walk of Western Stars. However, in his time, the western as a genre was in decadence, only Gunsmoke was surviving, with The Little House on the Prairie and... Kung Fu. His time was one of western antiheroes. In that, he excelled. Also, Kwai Chang Caine became his blessing and his curse.
Near the bottom.
No idea, it's subjective.
But he was my personal favorite. I loved his series "Shane" which sadly lasted only one season despite good critical reviews.
But Kung Fu was my all-time favorite tv show.
Such great acting in the show. Such a troubled guy. May God bless you David
@mdo686 by reading about him? Lost art I guess. And yes, by the way, I am troubled. Troubled about the way he died. Troubling indeed.
What a unique show "Kung Fu" was! One of my favs to be sure.
It’s nice hearing two people talk without the audience laughing every 3 seconds. Talk shows today don’t allow for genuine conversation
Honestly, David Carradine knew a lot more about Kung Fu than I expected him to, when Dick asked. I heard that he once responded, when asked what he knew about it, "I'm a dancer, man!".
He was totally a dancer when he started in the series, and approached the fights as choreographies he had to follow. But he learned kung fu as he was going through the episodes, and kept learning afterwards. He never considered himself a master, but an "evangelist" of kung fu, and more of its peaceful rather than its fighting applications. He wrote a book about that, Spirit of Shaolin. He both knew much less and understood much more than he believed and you would imagine.
There is an extra in the DVDs showing him visiting the Shaolin monastery (the real one). I have seen it around in RUclips. It's worth a look.
He seems pretty chill.
Odds are he was high.
The Carradine brothers did not have an easy early life. But they made something of themselves. I have read David’s biography. He was a “very original” kind of person. I too am bothered by how he died. But I don’t dwell on that. I am impressed with his life and legacy. I think it was he who said the too many people (actors or notable people I think he was referring to) get too close to the fire. Apparently he too got too close to the fire.
Footnote: Both David Carridine and future Kung-Fu co-star Radamas Pera were in a different story of the same episode of Night Gallery. "The Phantom Farmhouse (Carridine) and "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" (Pera)
Silent Snow is great
Carradine was excellent as Woody Guthrie in 'Bound For Glory.'
A great film.
That he was.
David Carradine grew up in the hippie era in the 1960’s. This in part explains his laconic demeanour.
the best content in the history of television
He was great in the tv series Kung Fu. A lot of negative cheap shots here.
I've met a couple guys just like him. They normally move around a lot from place to place and romantic relationships never work out for long.
Probably why he developed such a dangerous kink.
@@brainflash1 He should've had a Spotter!
Sagittarius.. freedom loving
Please post the 3rd Bobby Fischer interview from after he won the world championship!
You nose who, doesnt like Bobby Fischer videos being posted.
@@BenMJay Putin?
There's a lot of Crap in this comment section. But I'm a fan, here's to You DC. R.I.P.
Loved him in Lone Wolf McQuaid
Great movie.
"I hang from the rafters a lot... but not from my knees."

Hmm
Comedy Gold.
Bizarre....
Foreshadowing
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel.
John Arthur Carradine (Los Ángeles, 08 de diciembre de 1936-Bangkok, 03 de junio de 2009), conocido en el cine como David Carradine, fue un actor estadounidense, célebre por su trabajo en la serie de televisión Kung fu y la película Kill Bill. Fue miembro de la familia de actores Carradine la cual se inició con su padre, John Carradine. Tenía una carrera de actor en donde desempeñaba papeles protagónicos o de reparto en televisión y cine durante más de cuatro décadas.
It was a shame his life was cut short
by himself, strangled, while seeking experience. Sth which you learn in buddhism is not opportune
Yeah the Tongs/Triads made an example of him. Such a loss
I wonder what Dick Cavet, and the FCC would think if they saw the future
10 weeks after I was born
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows.
DC..He came and went at the same time.
👍🏻🤣😂🤣👍🏻
Ba dum bump .
@Doug Lowe . . . and good luck to him.
My late son did the Praying Mantis! True format. Thought at Bruce Lee Center,in Los Angeles. California. ( Studied the Martial Arts back East, under Sabinin, Athlete in Martial Art Boxing. Since 10 years old.). Later at Warner's part off Bruce Lee Production. At the time, about 25 years old. Actually a Beautiful Art form. 😎🇺🇸🇩🇰🦅📬
If his hair was darker he would look so much like his father.
Like pulling teeth

Ain't that the truth
He was a weird dude…
Met him at a sci fi convention in 2001. Yes, he was a weird dude.
@@CJRamos-jv3pb But was he cool?
At least he had a brain.
Most don’t have one of them nowadays especially the Hollywood crew.
@@brainflash1, he might have thought he was, but I'm gonna say no. He came off as a dick.
I wonder who the who the guest in gold lame and bare feet is.
Which yours was filling in
She is La Lupe
Who belongs to the foot that I keep seeing to the left.
All I ever learned from watching the Kung Fu series was to never, ever, stroll into a bar and just order water. You might still get into a fight because you're Chinese or whatever, but at least it won't be over your choice of beverage.
LOL!
At least or water with some scotch.
Caine seemed to take care of his water and the bully in that episode.
Then you're thick...😂
Totally uncomfortable with the mention of his Dad...
Yes, it seemed that way.
plus in the 1970s TV was regulated rockford files used car chases and less guns because guns were not allowed to be shown in the same scene as being pointed at someone else// dukes of h again used less guns and more cars
dallas very few guns very few //
Agreed, a lot of similarities between Rockford Files and Kung Fu in terms of their use of action (cars for one, body blows for another).
@@ianbauer4703 hey Ian, james garner talked about the TV violence code in the Rockford Files' interviews./
JG also said, 'any (man) that does action tv (for too many yrs) wont have his (legs)' James did get hurt a couple of times, and the network did not think he was hurt. running on concrete with them shoes, i would pass
God Bless and take care
@@johnbeechy Hi, I think injuries were also what saw Carradine leave (or walk off) his TV show, Kung Fu. Like Garner, Carradine was in almost every frame per episode -- often fighting baddies -- and that took its toll on him.
@@ianbauer4703 Hi back at you, U are so Right about the 'toll it takes on the One Man show(s) of the 1970s'.
I have been watching more and more 1970s/60s tv shows off RUclips, eg: Cannon, barnaby Jones, etc
and they had a small Cast and the hawaii 5- o also had Jack Lord and small cast.
now r days with large casts, so when one might get hurt the show CAN film others and take up the required time for that hourly / 30 minute time slot.
U take care and do not let them, that direct u, to place any tolls upon u as if u r a truck on a long road route
God Bless
@@johnbeechy Take care, keep watching those great shows of yesteryear.
What a lovely guy, wonder how he died
you don't want to know.
@@markinnes4264 Oh God
With a beauty
It's strange to hear them refer to people as oriental; we don't do that anymore.
1973
Yes, the only thing that's referred to as "oriental" are rugs.
@@jeffkatt And cuisine
I don't know why it went out of use; "Oriental" is way more specific to a region than ASIAN.
I see this a lot now; the term "Asian" has become synonymous with Chinese, and it completely ignores all the other ethnicities in the continent.
@@JanetStarChild Asian is anyone from Asia, which is more than just China.
Why did he bring a guitar onto the show? A prop? I don’t think he played the instrument
Lots of things being said here that would be considered racist today. Oriental is a seasoning not a race. Asian is the correct ethnic name. Not to mention the yellow facing he was asking.
Wrong! A lot of Asians prefer 'Oriental' -- it just means East in Latin rather than West 'Occidental'. Learn English and grow up.
@amandajstar no we don't
@@amandajstar idiot, you need to practice what you preach. Many Asians find it offensive calling them oriental. Do your research before posting an ignorant comment.
@@APatriarca1 Well, that's one person's view.
Todays political correctness is mad!
David cant afford a pair of good boots,, he has a huge hole in the bottom of the sole,, watch the very end LOL
seems like a very awkward interview
For those who don’t know….it was Bruce Lee who came up with the idea for the Kung fu series….he didn’t want the role because he didn’t like how they would choreograph the fight scenes. He was not happy with what they did with the series. After watching this interview I have lost respect for David carradine who apparently doesn’t respect the art or the history. I loved the show but now feel differently knowing the story behind it. The new Kung fu series is supposed to be closer to what Bruce Lee would have wanted. Only major difference is the setting.
Bruce Lee didn’t get the part because he was Chinese and the network didn’t want to put a Chinese man as the lead role in the series due to racism. It was Lee’s idea which was called “The Silent Flute” but changed to Kung Fu. That’s why Bruce Lee went back to Hong Kong to do movies and the rest is history. He became a legend. 🔥💪🏽
Just watching this and wondering ... why was Dick Cavett famous? I was as bored with his interview as was Carradine.
"Hanging from the rafters" Oh, we know why David was hanging there.
Oh come on, man. Don't let that be his legacy, he was a decent actor and human being. Sure he had "quirks", but so did many from his generation.
He was badass in Kill Bill. Wish he got to flex his acting muscle more often. Caine was such a waste of his talent IMO, but I guess everyone has bills to pay.
@@alext2566 Well Put ! ❤️🙏 🇬🇧
that, i guess, would be an overgeneralization
Ironic. That’s how he died
ABC network chose David Carradine over an Asian actor.....nod to the great Bruce Lee.
I heard they did that because Bruce Lee had a real attitude= a bad attitude. He was a real asshole- a real Bully then they first cast him and I think he got fired and went with David Carradine instead.
Who was the greatest martial artist ever, but as an actor, always played Bruce Lee.
David Carradine was an actor for real, able to play Iago and Atahuallpa in theater, Caine and Bill in TV and movies.
That's why he was cast. For that role, they needed an actor. Fights lasted like 2 minutes for episode.
@@HoldenNY22 Matthew Polly's bio explained that. He wasn't cast and fired later, he simply wasn't cast. Not due to bad attitude, but too victorious attitude for a quiet, peaceful role.
@- What do you mean- "Victorious Attitude for a quiet, peaceful role." Are you talking about BRuce Lee had a Victorious Attitude or David Carradine. Could you please explain. Maybe I've heard wrong.
@@HoldenNY22 I like BL but Carredine was much better for this role. They made the right decision.
WEIRD DUDE
He's not easy to listen to- his voice sounds like he's mumbling.
white guy is more kung fu than china
Some of the fight scenes from the TV show Kung Fu are quite cringe worthy by today's standards.
@Jack Strawb Hmm, yes!
....look up how he died...just SAYIN!
Some things are better left in the closet.
How disappointing. Carradine thinks he's Mr. Cool. Eating, lounging, a bit of a bore.
He just stone and trying to hide it
