FRANKENSTEIN’S RED-BLOODED AMERICAN SENSE OF HUMOR
So yes, I did hear about David Carradine, though I understand that the exact cause of death is not 100% clear.
Anyway, I know that most people will remember him as Caine in Kung Fu, but believe it or not, I never really saw it. I was seven when it first came on TV, and it just never appeared on my young radar. And I don’t think any of the TV stations in Nashville ever got the syndication rights, so I’ve never caught it on reruns, either.
Which is why when I think of David Carradine, I think of Frankenstein in Death Race 2000.
Like so.
FUN FACT: Even though I was only 10 when the movie came out, by the time I was in middle school, we picked up lots of jokes about how many points people would be worth.
I eventually saw the movie in the late 80s. It was everything I hoped it would be: cheap, violent and bizarrely hilarious.
Good night Mr Frankenstein,
This is dF

75 points for the elderly...
My first pair of onscreen boobs came from this movie on KPLR Channel 11, and I had been exposed to mucho cable by that time. Ah, good 'ol independent broadcast TV.
I picked up the DVD of this movie for $1 in a grocery store. Best f-ing dollar I ever spent..
