Rest In Peace David Carradine...

The Carradine family are that rarest of entities-Hollywood "B" movie royalty. The patriarch of the clan, John Carradine was one of Hollywood's most colorful and reliable character actors. His son David, who of course was just found dead of an apparent suicide succeeded his father as the one "B" movie actor who has a mystique and even a grandeur that was mesmerizing even when appearing in genre work. Many of David Carradine's eulogies mentioned his work in Kung Fu and Kill Bill, but of equal import in Carradine's film work was his elegant turn as "Frankenstiein" the masterful cross country racer in the drive in classic Death Race 2000 (1972). He starred with the soon to be famous Sylvester Stallone and Carradine manages to look oddly charasmatic and operatic in his black leather outfit (with cape!)
