I know this David Carradine news is from yesterday, but I've decided to post due to the bizarre events surrounding his death. Of course if you're a fan of this site you obviously loved him in Kill Bill 1 & 2, Death Race 2000 and Kung Fu.

When I heard the news of his "suicide" I automatically thought no fucking way. I could understand him possibly dying of old age, but not suicide especially since his career has been in full swing.
A maid found Carradine hanging naked by a rope in the closet of his hotel suite at the plush Swissotel Nai Lert Park hotel Thursday, police said.Initial reports indicated a possible suicide, but his family representatives in Los Angeles have repeatedly said the actor was not suicidal.

Representatives for Carradine also declined to comment on media reports that the death was related to autoerotic asphyxiation, which involves intentionally cutting off oxygen supply for strong sexual arousal. And a former lawyer for Carradine said she suspected foul play.

Other updates also say this hands were tied up in rope. The whole thing is messed up. Rest in peace David. I'll be dusting off my copy of Q: The Winged Serpent to pay homage.

It's time to go new school on y'all asses. Yep, thats right, we got some grind coming out in the '08 straight outta Japan.

The Machine Girl has gore, ninjas, chainsaws, a flying guillotine and (a cinema first) drill bra! It's a thing of beauty and it's part of the new wave Japanese splatter punk revolution.

This is a classic revenge film where the protagonist wears a schoolgirl uniform, has a machine gun for an arm and the viewer gets an occasional panty shot. Need I say more?

When the blood sprays in this flick - it sprays so much you'd think the production crew must have worn raincoats. Fuck, why does America get stuck with bullshit torture porn Saw films? Maybe its time to move to Japan.Okay, as usual, I've made my point and I like to keep it short n' sweet. So watch this trailer and go pick it up on DVD. It's worth it.

Jimmy Wang Yu is the White Dragon. A one man wrecking crew with his steel spear aka "six feet of silver death."

Sure, Wang Yu has been in a ton of classics, but this one is solid on the trash scale. Bad dubbing, missing footage, scratchy transfer, wacky sound effects...blaze it up cause it's all here.

The White Dragon must save the Chinese nation from tyrannical destruction all by himself. The leads us to a strong 30 minute grand finale of Wang Yu spearing suckers to death. Zero dialogue in the second half, just killing. That's the way I like it!

When our hero spears an enemy through the chest they don't bother to make it look real. It's the obvious hold the spear under the armpit trick.

The White Dragon fights General Tai in the final battle with a shocking ending.Another noteworthy thing is the horrible 80's prog rock song in the opening credits. The band is called Flood and the song soooo doesn't fit in this flick!

Another ass kickin' trailer...strictly droppin' gems on y'all.

No, this isn't Cannonball Run, but the plot is the same. This flick came out 5 years earlier. Both films were based on novels written by the same guy. So that's the connection. God damn those must be shitty novels.

David Carradine is the driver in this coast-to-coast carsploitation.

The cars in this flick are classic and they get smashed the fuck up! Providing the viewer with 90 minutes of brainless entertainment. Which is perfect after a long weekend of drinking n' smoking. Yes, by now you know I live a hedonistic lifestyle. Is there any other way?

Carradine drives a 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. I guess 1970 was a kick ass year for badass cars. I actually caught this on cable over the weekend. So, now I need to add this cheese DVD to my collection. I'm not even posting the trailer cause this car crash/pile-up sequence is soooo friggin ridiculous I couldn't resist. Enjoy.

Director Chang Cheh and producer Run Run Shaw bring us this hard hittin' kung-fu film. The story revolves around a young fighter who travels to Singapore to make a name on the streets.

This flick may start off slow, but it ends with a battle to the death! I saved you the trouble and posted the grand finale below...cause I'm good like that.

Boxer From Shantung inspired Quentin Tarantino. Who re-created the teahouse scene for the Kill Bill 'House of Blue Leaves' sequence.

Throw a mask on these bad guys below and PRESTO you got The Crazy 88's!
This is hands down the bloodiest kung-fu film of the early to mid seventies. Do yourself a favor and watch the ass whoopin!
