I looked at lorne's picture. Carradine is actually taller. There both probally the same height. logan noll 1996 says on 30/Dec/11
Sorry Michael, but Uma Thurman is 5 ft 11, she's not 6 foot or over. David Carradine's peak height was 6 ft 1 and his height as of his time in Kill Bill was 6 foot. Google has his height listed as 6 foot 1. Uma is probally my height(and i'm 5 foot 8 or 5 foot 9). Mr. Tempus says on 5/Oct/11

Rob, I don't think Carradine was ever 6ft -- Here is a pic of him Uma from Kill Bill. Uma who is listed on here as 5ft 11.5in, is wearing nearly flat sandals, while Carradine is wearing 2inch heel-boots and is still a bit shorter than Uma.

They are both leaning in the pic. Straightened out, they would be pretty much identical in height. In any case, I've seen the movie; In fact it shocked me, I knew Thurman was tall, but he's wearing 4-5cm while she was wearing flats.Ultimately, Carradine looked to be just a hair taller than her, but of course he had a huge footwear advantage.
Best case scenario, even if he had a whole cm on her, it's negated by the footwear advantage.At best, he was a solid 5'11, at worst, he could of be a little under 5'11, like 5ft10.75in. He had lost height by then, but I doubt he was ever a full 6ft.
My estimate for Carradine:
Peak height: 5ft11.75/182cm(minmum 5ft11.5in,maximum 6ft)
"Kill Bill" height:5ft10.75-5ft11/180cm
There is always the chance he was a full 6ft, but unless he had lost a full inch, he was probably 182cm range at peak, like Christian Bale. thebad7 says on 15/Aug/11
He was a very gifted actor, and I liked him best--as many people do--in the KILL BILL saga. I think in his younger days he was 6'0". By the time he did KILL BILL, he was a shade under--say 5'11". His lean build made him look taller.
Funny note about Carradine: he was in a great B action film from 1986 titled ARMED RESPONSE. He starred in this film with Western Legend Lee Van Cleef. Van Cleef was a legit 6'2", and he kept his height all the way to his untimely death in 1989. Carradine's character wore cowboy boots with 2"--and I suspect perhaps a lift inside the heel of the boots--and he looked just about the same height as Van Cleef, with Van Cleef having an edge on Carradine. Of course, Van Cleef was wearing flat-soled sneakers, and Carradine had a serious footwear advantage.
All in all, peak 6'0" for Carradine, but by the end, 5'11" sounds right.

[Editor Rob: Jenny met him years ago at a glasgow event, got his auto but didn't know they were doing photoshoots. She thought he was a few inches taller from memory but can't recall anything more.] AJ says on 24/Mar/11

in his book kill bill diaries, he describes himself as just under 6 foot. he also describes uma as 6 foot 1 Anonymous says on 30/Oct/10
He looked very close to 5'11 in Kill Bill, but of course it's possible for him to have shrunk and been maybe an inch shorter from his peak that I thought was 6'. RIP. |
