David Carradine: The (Super)Man, the Myth, the Monologue
It's a word! It's a name! It's the "Superman Speech"!
In the wake of DAVID CARRADINE'S death in Thailand, a friend reminds me that it was Carradine who delivered the second-best entry on our list of Top Quentin Tarantino Monologues -- when his "Kill Bill" character waxes on about the mythology of Superman to Uma Thurman's vengeful bride. If it's been awhile, it's worth the re-listen.
Oh, and the best QT monologue ever? Gotta be Christopher Walken's war vet in "Pulp Fiction" (in a script, co-credited to Roger Avary, that also has the swell Sam Jackson diner speech).
To one of Carradine's best scenes ever:

David Carradine was murdered and there is a cover up over here in Bangkok. It was probably done by a ladtboy, either on purpose or accidently. The ladyboy would be strong enough and big enough to pick him up and place him in the closet. I want to see the tapes from the hotel's cameras. Please try to get your hands on them and check them out as they may have been tampered with already.
I think the police and the hotel are both involved.
David would never kill himself....for sure....he was happily working and that was all he wanted in life ...he was on a roll as Chuck and Tiffany his managers say. he had many more films to make and money was rolling in.
When he called me i told him how wonderful Bangkok was, i wish i had never said that now.
Keith is correct in wanting the FBI to investigate the case.
David starred in 2 films for me and i knew him quite well as a personal friend and he would not do this when he had a rebirth so to speak as a Star!!
This will probably get me killed too!! But someone has to speak for David as he cannot!! RIP.....David
