comidy and jackie was great in the rush hour movies with Chris tucker very funny up the irons maiden manic👍👍👍🇬🇧🎸🎸🎸🤘
@@EJK2099 Orson Welles episode was SO delightful!!
The wizard of Oz..
I used to watch that show religiously😁. He was the underdog with moral values, a calm courageous spirit, disciplined mind and "hands".
Loved that show...
God
@@stephenzanichkowsky4434 Best.
I had dinner with David on a yacht on the Thames many years ago. Very charming and witty man. One of my most treasured memories. He also played piano. Played in the bar after dinner . God rest his soul.
Did he choke you?
Unfortunately, I wasn't born yet when _Kung Fu_ was on TV, but I was a teenager when _Kung Fu: The Legend Continues_ was on TV, and I loved it. In my adult years, I managed to find and watch the original Kung Fu series, and I now own the complete set. What a saga!
Great stuff
Kung Fu the Legend Continues was a great series
I loved Kung Fu with it came out in 1972. David Carradine as Cole Younger in the movie The Long Riders was absolutely brilliant. R.I.P David Carradine/Kwai Chang Caine.
The Kung Fu show was one of my favourites when I was kid !!
Good ol' David Carradine. I always loved the movies he was in, his roles and they way he played them.
No need to fill silences or make forced jokes. Cavett was the best
I disagree. He could have been great if he didn't try to be funny and stopped talking about himself all of the time.
no he wasn't.. he wasn't even close to the best. he was condescending and rude. he never knew when to shut up.
@@Maplelustikr..
I really love David Carradine ❣️ I seen that he had true acting ability and he will forever stay in my heart ❤️ and he's missed, very much everyday. Rest in peace, Grasshopper 🙏🏻
I had no idea he was that tall. When he walked in..he towereddd over the host.
@@robd1329 I know. Neither did I.
There is no one like David Carradine.
Such a great talent and amazing man. He is missed
I love this interview! DC is so handsome!! Thanks for posting!!
Kung Fu was a well written t.v. series. The episodes were morality plays infused with Eastern philosophy.
Very well put. Exactly. And I learned a lot about Eastern philosophy. And it fascinated me.
the 70s was the zenith of intelligent well written Television shows ..all since has got dumber ...and dumber ...etc . . ..!
I always liked him. It's sad that he died, and it's sad the way that he died. I remember watching (and liking) the tv series Kung Fu when I was a kid. I think it came on Sunday nights (though I may be wrong about that).
And it was hard not to like him in Kill Bill (notwithstanding that he played a vicious psychopath).
Well... at least he died on his own terms (mostly).
I to was fascinated by him but beleave me he was not a nice fellow to work with was widely disliked by almost everybody in the business..my farther was his director on the film Cannonball in 1976..he loathed him and he was very inappropriate with female cast and crew...
I took his wedding pictures when he married Mrs. Biermann, at Tarantino's Beach house
@@MrSandalwood no human is perfect.
He was murdered....& the method was obvious who was behind it.
I was a guest in his house with the treehouse many years ago. When I asked him to explain TAOISM he said humbly "I know nothing".
''The Tao of the word is not the Eternal Tao''!- 1st line of the Tao Te Ching.
Maybe it wasn't being humble. Maybe he really DIDN'T know anything.
Everytime i click on a Cavett interview I am relieved by his interview style, so easy going yet poignant
no he wasn't. who were you watching??
His voice is the best
I would say his style is more awkward, uncomfortable, and I self-effacing, and sometimes downright strange.
If you are not aware, david Carradine passed away in Thailand in very dubious circumstances. Google it to find out.
I think he was well cast in that kung fu tv show, I remember it from when I was a kid.
He was murdered & the method used was common by these ppl...
STARWHACKERS ! (According to his friend Randy Quaid )
I can't believe Pablo Escobar did that to him *ALLEGEDLY*
David did well on the show despite not actually knowing kung fu
..he knew the philosophy thats more than half of it ....... !
he was a trained dancer and that helped
You should say despite not actually being Chinese. One of the wokest shows ever created.
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THE ENTIRE EPISODE !
Nov-22-2021, That was pretty damn good. David Carradine always kicks ass
That lady was really nice to David. He should’ve said thank you.
Who is the lady, do you know?
Cuban singer La Lupe. @@deletelater793
His body language said otherwise. Meaning thank you.
I didn't like her I thought she was a bobble head
He was fantastic. When he spoke to his guests he knows what to say. It was because he was interested. Just a great show.
I saw David Carradine walking in London one quiet morning in Shaftsbury Avenue, 2001 with a lady on his arm. He looked older than he does here of course.
There were two David’s. One was very nice and peaceful and like a child and the other was abused angry and ready to explode. His whole life was a battle with the two like all of us. He just exposed it in public. As far as his passing I’m not giving any credit to those s who may have been involved but it was his time and they’ll get their time.
How did he die?
Please TV executives please find the new Dick Cavett...interviewing is a skill and this man is the best....Not playing stupid games or singing karaoke in a car..just talking and telling stories humans from the dawn of time just like hearing stories...🙈
Hear hear!
People are different now. Rude, impatient, short attention spans, quick to anger. Almost all negative changes since this took place. There can't be hosts or shows like this until we mature and act civilized.
@@n0tk0sher I agree. It's very interesting how you make your point on this specific interview. To me, Carradine's manner in this interview represents the beginning of the collective madness of subjectivity we're all currently suffering, whereas Cavett represents the beginning of the end of civil objective truth.
He showed everyone how truly square they were. The early to mid 70’s, people were still extremely square. Not this guy. Thank You, David Carradine.
Hmm... I can't disagree that he did seem uber-hip in comparison to Cavett but, on the other hand, looking at it from today's standpoint - where seemingly everything has become subjective - I'm not so sure how positive this attitude was en masse.
Ok buddy....whatever....and we now see the results of being a sex drugs rock and roll culture....
Please post the 3rd and 4th Bobby Fischer interviews
Always got the impression carradine never liked being interviewed and he seemed to keep cavett at a distance
He seemed quite comfortable to me. Just casual conversation.
I sensed latent hostility in Carradine.
Yeah he does seem kind of cynical and curt in his responses He’s definitely not making the interview easy for dick and dick is really doing his best to get him to converse. I think David came on the show to try to play his guitar seems that’s why he brought it out there in the first place I would’ve just opened with asking him to play it maybe that would’ve relaxed and more
Feels like it's been a lifetime since the world acknowledged David Carradine's existence. Damn shame that he went out the way he did.
Wish he could've hung around a bit longer.
@@hasselett ouch hahaha but good one 😂😂
The way he died was a smokescreen for the Chinese mob.
He had the 2 Kill Bill movies a few years before he died
He was murdered...very common method by 'those ppl'
😆 I thought he was coming on with a rifle for a second, then I saw the guitar. Phew!
Would have been more likely to come out with some throwing stars.
He never needed a rifle or pistol. His spirit, mind and body are his weapons.
He's the man.
God Bless My Mom, she had one date with him =)
Cavett?
@@redwatch1100 No David Carradine
@@redwatch1100 no David Carradine!!!!
Sure she did.
And did she have anything to say about her date?.. tea please.
The most important point here was the "Cosmic Note"; wish more was said about that.
What would you have said about it?
Great smile.
Dick Cavett very easy to listen to.
This man is sharp and knows what happens is
Walked a swath through the bullies across the Wild American West. He will live on in our hearts and minds as Kwai Chang Caine ... Forevermore ... .. .
David is a little more subdued even kind of edgy mood in this interview that I’ve seen him in previous ones.
Exactly. It seemed like Gavett was making fun of the show in a way and he is out of tune. The show kung fu is important because it shows us ethics and a sense of morality. The interviewer and girl simply aren’t on the same wavelength. This made David seem disinterested in my opinion.
@@Shiftteam13you have good insight
@@rkidlat appreciate it! I showed my dad this interview and when David said, “there is some distance between us” that told me everything I needed to know!
Bruce Lee plugged the "Kung Fu" idea and was supposed to be the main protagonist but was deemed "too oriental" for the part
What a shame, would have loved to have seen Bruce Lee in it.
No,it was because he was limited as a serious dramatic actor.
And I am a a huge Bruce Lee fan,since I was 11 yrs old in 73.
@@marsazorean62 Bruce Lee had been acting long before he ever plugged the show. His dad was an actor and he had roles in Hong Kong. His most known role from back then was from "The Orphan". Lee even himself said that he understands partly why he wasn't cast in "kung fu"' "The money men" didn't trust the audience would accept an oriental hero. How can you not know this if you're "a fan"? This is common knowledge
@Vladimir Putin, Dreadlock Rasta Bruce Lee was a philosophy major. Read one of his books. There is no question that the end product would have been extremely better if Lee would have been allowed to carry out his idea. I don't really know if you are even serious. Most likely just trolling. Watch his scenes in "Longstreet". You can also watch Pierre Bernard's interview where they brush the subject with Bruce. As you deem Bruce Lee was just about "punching and kicking" you reveal that you know nothing about who he was
According to relatives, David Carradine was a depraved and sick individual. He was a talented and charismatic actor whose public persona hid a very dark side.
Well said, sorry to say- ("Kung Fu" was my favorite TV show).
It didnt hide it very well, even in this interview, he seems like the kind of guy you walk on eggshells around.
@@jimbobjimjim6500 I agree.
Sick? How so??? I find it hard to believe it didn't come out if he was that messed up....
@@MsLiberty101 Google it - it's well know that he had issues.
Couple of things: Carradine looked like a giant as he walked on this set whereas on film he always looked average height. The other thing? I didn't feel this was a good interview at all .... it never got out of 1st gear. It was as if DC didn't want to be interviewed. Sometimes he was barely audible and didn't have much to say.
That's because Dick Cavett was a shorty, 5'7".
He was probably high.
One of the comments here says he didn't actually know kung fu. That's not entirely true. He didn't know it at first- when the series began - but later on, in the later episodes, he studied kung fu for real and started doing more of his own stunts. Because he learned kung fu and he was a celebrity, thanks to the series, he eventually became a kind of ambassador for kung fu, helping to enlighten the world about the martial arts, kung fu in particular, a role he gladly and proudly accepted. Later in life he even visited an actual Shaolin temple. There was a documentary film made about this (you can watch it on RUclips) and you see him meeting with actual Shaolin monks. He was allowed into their temple and given a tour that is not normally given to foreigners. It's as if they welcomed him as one of their own. In return, he treated the monks with utmost reverence and respect. Never has an actor and the character he portrayed been so alike as David Carradine and Kwai Chang Caine. The two were virtually one and the same.
Dick, come back!
Young David Carradine-*swoon*🥵❤️❤️❤️🙏
@romstar But older Carradine, well let's just say he didn't age well. They say who you are shows on your face.
Hilarious.😂❤️
The lady is Cuban singer La Lupe.
Thanks for mentioning because I had no clue who she is.
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 at all.
Cavett actually thinks actors are their roles. can't wait for the Spiderman interviews.
many actors assumed their roles 24/7..during the filming of the movie
gooood
The original "Grasshoppah".
1:30 wow! suddenly with his long he reminds me Hugh jackman
-------------------- his demeanor reminds me of the TaxiDriver
Strange cat. His antics are pretty legendary, and often disturbing.
I have a totally different perspective of this Carradine appearance after reading his book...I hadn't read the book (of course) when I first watched this (as a kid) eons ago...
Was David a whack job?
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 on RUclips.
It’s “BILL”
I didn't notice in the Kung Fu series but damn 1:40 he's quite big.
Dick Cavett is just small.
He was 6 ft. tall
He is big which I thought was kind of hilarious that in the series people would“ pick on him“ if you’re gonna pick a fight with a Chinese guy, it would be a Shorty like Bruce Lee but not some 6 foot China man looks like he could put up a fight. The fact that he was so bigAnd played such a humble character convincingly I might add, is a testament to David’s superb acting ability and physical presence. He made you believe that he was a potential target
I think it was rather Forward of David to bring a guitar with him on The show. After all he was being interviewed as an actor, not as a Musician. Still, Dick Cavett could’ve easily just let him play a selection or to the fact that he didn’t do that seemed to me either an oversight or maybe a subtle power move on his part “ You’re not gonna come on MY Show and dictate to me what you’re going to do here”
Just imagine what Bruce Lee felt when his ideas to start making Hollywood films about kung fu were stolen and for the main role in the first kung fu movie in the Hollywood was chosen David Carradine. I would be very angry. Bruce Lee knew well that he is gonna succeed in Hollywood with these kung fu movies because the market was empty and vacant for the new hero ( try to dream about the same now...The market and the internet is full of films and games and it's very hard to impress someone). The reason why he was certain to get success was that he knew that there is a wide audience of martial arts lovers and he can become a hero for them by making movies where people can watch the badass martial artist. Eventually, he has reached this goal in Honk Kong. I think the West wanted to steal a great career from Bruce Lee giving preference to the white guy with few martial arts knowledge and experience. But David wasn't as smart as Bruce Lee and as well as talented.
who was the lady on the right?
La Lupe ... she was known as the Queen of Latin Soul. Died in '92.
@@Marcel_Audubon That’s the lady on the left. The lady on the right is Dick Cavett. And he’s a man, baby.

David carridine was a good actor and his father he was a good actor as well his dad was in a lot of horror movies the late john

The wrong time rip to david and John up the

Yakuza was from Japan. And David died in Thailand. I don't think there is a Yakuza in Thailand.
SOOOO BLAND
The Spanish Singer, La Lupe.
Cuban Singer
Who is the woman in this clip?
Eartha Kitt?
@@siasti hmmm. Maybe, but I don't think so.
La Lupé, a Cuban singer of boleros and Latin soul. And sometimes controversial performances.
Who is the female guest here please?
Interesting contrast to the David Carradine of Kill Bill. Here he seems almost reticent to say much, whereas in those movies he is so much more engaging and forthcoming.
Who is the lady?
Famous cuban singer la lupe.
Guadalupe Victoria Yolí Raymond, she was a star in cuba and exiled to united states where she died poor in the 90ies.
It's ironic that a man portraying a man on a peaceful journey would end up anything but that in real life, although D C also went on an illicit substances journey too, which in turn through a monkey wrench in a sober journey at least.
He was really handsome.
Seemed like we never saw the easygoing smiling conversationalist in his acting roles. A lot of his characters were serious. Somber.
Surprised to know that David did not like Bruce Lee at all.
Yeah, because Bruce Lee was the real deal.
they were in competition for the role of Cain; Bruce Lee wanted the part but he was turned down. Maybe a sore loser? Nobody could have played the character of Caine with such excellence, such grace and such integrity.
You could understand Bruce’s resentment of Carradine. It was rumored that the series was Bruce’s idea originally even though there’s much speculation on that part in Hollywood circles. Also Bruce must’ve been furious to find out that Carradine new virtually no martial arts when the role clearly calledFor an actor who did. Couldn’t understand Carradine resentment of lee though.
5:08 words are dressing.. hmm. Maybe this doesn't apply but Richard Feynman spoke of the name of a thing vs the thing itself. Just because you know the name of a specie of duck for e.g. doesn't mean you know anything about that duck. 🦆
Back when mildly racist and homophobic jokes were okay.... 😂😂😂

The universal note is 432 megahertz, supposedly. I wonder if it's tied in to the golden ratio number.
I'm always noticing the number 147. I don't know why though. It holds no special significance as far as I know. I notice certain precise relationships among the digits 0 through 9 too. Again, as far as I know there's no special significance that they have. The funny thing is, I've never been any good with numbers. I do better with words. Not necessarily much better though. lol
@@somethingyousaid5059 147. The maximum break in snooker
@@flasheart3817
I'm not in the habit of compulsively checking the clock to see what time it is. Even so, for some reason I frequently look at it when it's exactly 1:47 in the afternoon. (More frequently than what I would think was mere coincidence.) I'm not even thinking about the number when it happens. It's just a purely unconscious act of looking at a clock, that's all. But each time that it happens I don't know what to make of it.
Anyway, thanks for the bit of trivia. I can't say that I know anything about snooker though. lol
I guess S∆|_\/∆|}⭕r |}∆|_i was well tuned in to the universal golden ratio.
David was such a gorgeous guy but at the same time such a flake
Bruce Lee's idea but he got pushed aside for this low-energy mumbler
Well , we can't all be the life and soul of the party.
@@jimmythemadostrich8947 It's more about the energy and knowledge of Bruce Lee being shoved out of the way than being a party animal
@@halfabeet You're right! Did you notice the masonic handshake between Carradine and Cavett?
@Oscar Prendhast Bruce Lee came up with the idea with the intention of starring in it, but was pushed aside because he was actually Chinese. The character was changed when Carradine was cast, after Lee had been pushed out.
@Oscar Prendhast Duh. They obviously tweaked that part of the story to accommodate the whitewashing.
DEATH RACE 2000
Kung Fu would not have worked with Bruce Lee in the lead. He was too "showy" for the part. The show was a western, and Kwai Chang was the reluctant gunfighter, only he used his hands and feet.
Oy veh, David Carradine is dull. What a boring interview... I felt for Dick Cavett
The Spanish Singer, La Lupe.
LOL A wolf bit him...doesn't look like a bite ...both eyes where attacked by a wolf ?? lol its called cocaine
He didn't come off as very intelligent or amiable in this interview. He got better. But what's with the guitar?
Is it me ? Or did he not even acknowledge that poor woman.....how classless.
I assume the lady already had her time and now it's his.
@@westar1234 she might have had her time.....but at least you say hello to the other guest and then you have your time.....I found that very callous and rude.....
It looks to me like they exchange pleasantries.
yeah.. you're right. what kind of backwards one track mind social skills are these. it's weird in a very bad way.
@@Maplelust
Are you blind? They very obviously exchanged a nod & a smile - what, should he have got down on one knee & kissed her hand, asking her if it was ok for him to then have his time on the show?
Anyone that can’t see that they acknowledged one another, well, it’s you folk that seem to enjoy causing trouble just for the sake of it…
Oriental....
It was a different era with different norms
@@RobertCeisler I fully agree but in the description?
@@justshowmehow Ahhhh. I hadn't even noticed that. You're absolutely right.
@@RobertCeisler :-) I appreciate a time capsule understanding of such conversations and not talking about cancelling anyone but who even says oriental now,,,,
@@justshowmehow Nobody, except apparently the people who run Dick Cavett's RUclips channel.
Carradine clearly has no idea what to talk about, not that I would have done much better. Must be hard to be a regular guy, asked to talk about what you do.
His kind of death was a little less Kung-Fu than expected. Grasshopper had strayed a little from the path of wisdom.
Okay, let's say he was exploring a dark Buddhist path.
It's a lesson: we look elsewhere, we want exoticism and above all no Christianity and we find ourselves hanging between a jacket and trousers.
Pablo Escobar would've got him ( *ALLEGEDLY* ) even if he was Christian.
🥋’Kung Fu’ was a great tv show ! But this interview was a bozo.🤡
Bad interview
Carradine=boring...sorry but do not remember him being so boring
Bruce Lee should have played " little scarabee" in kung fu..And not David carradine.
He looked at her the way she deserves to be looked at and it made her nervous. Watch Davids interview with Alain Delon. David was as flustered by handsome Alain as a preening jealous pufferfish. He attacked Alain non stop like a male Karen. Even this interview is awful.
I ABSOULTELY LOVED Kung Fu when I was a youngster. Although it would have been even more thrilling if Bruce Lee had played the role.
It worked out for the best
@@gavinbrando8255 we only know what we know
When you love martial arts but forget about its roots plus basic rationality & nature where human belongs, you end up as bruce lee or jet lee - dead after wrong mix of pharmaceutics or disabled after wrong unnatural to human (hunted meat) diet. Thats also why you won't ever see indian vege kung fu master... ^^ First because of betraying nature in favour of corrupt inhuman civilisation second because of wrong cultist approach so maybe the same just on other side of the coin...
The role was actually promised to Lee. But at that time network executives thought a white actor would be more marketable than an Asian actor.
Honestly, I think David was a better fit for the role than Bruce.
I'm a fan of Bruce Lee, but he always played his characters as very brash, hotheaded and forceful, like they had a wild tiger within them, which is nothing like the tranquil pacifist that is Kwai Chang Caine.
