David Carradine was found dead today from an apparent suicide. I just wanted to give a little shout out to young Grasshopper. Here he is in the final scene from Kill Bill, Vol. 2. This is the climactic grand finale death match between Bill and his former girlfriend Beatrix Kiddo.
It's a great scene because she nails him with my favorite move: the 5-point palm exploding heart punch. The punch is unique because although it's lethal, it doesn't kick in until a few minutes after impact. It really gives you an opportunity to tie up any loose ends, and really get your stuff in order before you go to the next world. Plus, there's nothing worse than when someone is dying and they whisper out the secrets of the world with their last breath only to die before giving up the vital information. The 5-point palm, exploding heart punch avoids this by providing ample time to clarify any confusion. Bill and Beatrix use their precious time to reconcile and gain some closure. Bill gets to die a somewhat happy man.
Goodbye Bill. Goodbye David.

Taking a page from the Boston Globe and all major networks, I hear they found him with the rope around his nether region, but I haven't checked my sources.
Also, was that Niesa in the final scene?
Legend has it, Marc Meile is the only man to survive the 5-point palm, exploding heart punch.
Or was the the Mary Palm and her five finger sisters punch?
That's bullshit. I was there that day my friend. It was a regular lunge punch that MarC caught with his right hand. He did the regular old, crush the dude's fist move that you've seen before in movies like "Last Dragon" and "Superman".
You know how rumors get, it starts with a routine fist catch-crush, and ends up with a fantastical 5-point palm, exploding heart punch.
