Loss of the Grasshoppa...

Oh! I havent watched these kinds of films but the line and nickname of 'GrassHopper' I am well acquainted with. Its just been used so many times in movies that Ive seen that Ive wondered where this line originated from. So that's where it came from. Anyway, Ive seen him in an episode of Lizzie McGuire. I just love that show and I guess that was the Hannah Montana of my time. I actually grew up with Lizzie so to speak. Ive seen an episode where Matt tries to produce a martial arts film for a contest and David Carradine as Sam's(the father played by Robert Carradine) old friend, comes in and helps out Matt, calling him 'GrassHopper' as well.LOL He was really funny in that episode and one would think that they had a lot of fun filming it.

Iv'e also like his shows in the kung-Fu series. but it's been long while since he made some movies like Kill Bill.It's very sad that he passed away. one of the greatest actors in martial arts films. How the heck did he die in Hongkong anyways? we will miss him.

We will miss him. He was just perfect in the Kung Fu series.

Oh wow! Yes, David Carradine was one heck of a guy and has been around on screen for such a long time. From Kung Fu all the way to Kill Bill, he was certainly unique as an actor and was definitely memorable! One specific thing I do remember that was related to him is that the role in Kung Fu was actually supposed to go to Bruce Lee! But Bruce Lee was set to the side because David Carradine was considered to be more "Western" in appearance. The rest is history! How amazing that your Brother knew him personally! Rest in peace David Carradine.

I just got home and saw that, how sad. I did enjoy his series and will miss him.

I can remember sitting infront of our huge tv that took hours to warm up. It was old and we were rather poor so yes it really did take hours to warm up lol. But my brother and I would sit and watch it till it was a full picture and then we would sit and holler at my dad that he was gonna miss grasshopper. I will never forget the little bit of wisdom that was always imparted in each show. Not to mention it really bonded my Dad, Brother and me together. It is a memory that will for ever live in my mind. RIP David Carradine you will truly be missed.

I really liked David and was mad about his dad, John, when I was a teen just getting into horror movies--that's when they were truly horror, not just blood and gore. I enjoyed the Kung Fu series, too, as well as other things David did. I'm sorry he felt he had to end his life but I hope he's at peace now.

Yes, Whoopie Goldberg mentioned that he passed today and was very sad but did not mention how. I saw it on AOL news. Very sad. I am sure the family will have plenty of questions. You have to be in much pain or confusion to take your life, I would think. Very sad.

I used to love the Kung Fu series when I was younger ... DC was really cool in it. I read in the paper this morning they think he might actually have been murdered, as some kind of martial arts revenge killing. Horrific if it's true.

I am sorry to hear we lost such a Gentle Man, yet he is now in another journey of his life. He will be missed here on earth though, from his gentleness of how he portrayed the characters he played. As a teenager I so enjoyed the Kung fu series. They actually taught me how to deal with some of the stresses I was going through at that time in my life. Being abused was easy to turn angry, yet I have not. I thank David Carrdine for this. He will be missed.

For their favorite things we should lose frustrated,hope you can get up,you have a lot things to do.
