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!
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 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.
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.
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).
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...
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.
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...🙈
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.
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
It's very rare to see an interview with David Carradine in the 70s discussing his time on Kung Fu, but it's an amazing moment to see, because how opposite to how Carradine is to Caine, so it's an special moment indeed.
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.
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.
@@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
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.
@@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!
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 RU-vid) 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.
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 RU-vid.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”
@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.
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.
@Steve Cena What I mean? You're the one who wrote it. I can decipher that you like homophobic and racist jokes, but the exact meaning is gurgling inside your little mind.
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 carridine it's a shame that david was killed by the yacuza he was at the wrong place at The wrong time rip to david and John up the Irons!!! Maiden manic🤘🤘🎸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
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. 🦆
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
@@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
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.
@@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.....
@@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…
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.
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.
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.
@@RobertCeisler :-) I appreciate a time capsule understanding of such conversations and not talking about cancelling anyone but who even says oriental now,,,,
