Being broke usually means it's time to make sacrifices, but not for Michael Madsen -- dude declared bankruptcy, then allegedly racked up $80,000 in unpaid rent on a mansion ... and now faces eviction.
According to docs filed last Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, the owner of Michael's luxury Malibu home claims the "Kill Bill" actor skipped out on his $20,000/month rent four months in a row ... and now owes $80,000.
If he doesn't pay up, Michael could be homeless -- according to the docs, the owner intends to evict him if the debt isn't covered.
It's unclear how Michael planned to pay his rent since he filed docs for bankruptcy back in June, which say his net monthly income was $-3,392.

Nothing ruins a good friendship like money -- so it's safe to say Pierce Brosnan and Quentin Tarantino won't be talking to Michael Madsen anytime soon.
Seems Madsen is in debt to both guys big time. According to bankruptcy documents Madsen filed earlier this month, he owes $25,000 to 007 -- but he's into QT for a cool $1 million!
Pierce and QT shouldn't hold their breath while they wait for the "personal loans" to get paid back -- Madsen is almost a total of $4 million in the hole, and the docs say his net monthly income is $-3,392.

Thailand cops are saying there is no evidence that anyone was in the hotel room at the time of David Carradine's death.
Police say they reviewed surveillance footage outside Carradine's room and interviewed all of the hotel's staff. The officer leading the investigation said they have all but ruled out the possibility of foul play.
Police are now interviewing members of the film crew that were working with Carradine in Bangkok.
UPDATE: TMZ just confirmed the FBI has been contacted by the Carradine family. We're told the agency is now taking the required legal steps to see if Thai police want or need FBI assistance with the case.

David Carradine's official cause of death will be listed as suffocation, according to a hospital staffer in Bangkok.
The staffer, who was present when the autopsy was conducted, also says there were no other bruises or marks on Carradine's body besides the ones on his neck.
That would support the theory that the actor's death was not the result of foul play.

The suspicious circumstances revolving around the death of David Carradine are being asked to be investigated by the FBI by the late actor's family.
David's family wants the FBI to step in, in part because of reports of how the actor was found in his hotel room. The family hopes that with the FBI aiding Thailand police with their investigation, more concrete answers surrounding his cause of death may be located.
Although at first ruled as a suicide, additional evidence may suggest an alternative explanation. According to David's manager, the actor was found with his hands tied behind his back.
As of now, Thai cops have not been contacted by the FBI.

While David Carradine's family is screaming foul play was involved in his death -- the police are busy painting a completely different picture.
Cops in Thailand told the AP there is no evidence to suggest anyone else was in the room at the time of David's death -- and cops also have said it's possible he died from an "accidental suffocation."
Meanwhile David's manager, Chuck Binder, said he was told the actor's hands were tied behind his back -- although cops have yet to release such information.
David was found hanged in his Bangkok hotel room on Thursday, with rope around his neck and genitals.

Legendary actor David Carradine was found dead in a hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand this morning.
According to Carradine's agent, the 72-year-old "Kung Fu" and "Kill Bill" star was in Thailand for a movie.
David's agent told WABC that he believes the actor died of natural causes.
TMZ last encountered Carradine back in March, when the guy -- who was always in a playful mood when we ran into him -- jokingly told our camera guy, "I could take you f"**kin' out man!"

"Kill Bill" star and "Kung Fu" master David Carradine is the one person you don't want to hear "I could take you f**kin' out, man!" from.
Our photog did ... and was never seen again.

Michael Madsen allegedly threw such a hissy fit in a schmancy London hotel room that he had to take himself ... to the hospital. And if he was in a knockdown, drag-out that he lost, the victor was a woman.
The "Kill Bill" star was staying at The Dorchester, with a woman we're told is his wife. The coppers were called after a "commotion" in his room. We're told no arrests were made but he was taken to the hospital with cuts and bruises.

Quentin Tarantino, creator of such esteemed art house date films as "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction," was on a panel at Comic-Con this weekend to discuss his and Robert Rodriguez's upcoming double film "Grindhouse" when he told the audience that he wanted to do not one but two "Kill Bill" prequels.
One prequel will cover Bill's back story and would feature Pai Mei, Esteban Vihaio, sword maker Hatori Hanzo and, of course, Bill.
The second will be the further adventures of Uma Thurman's character The Bride, possibly working as an assassin for Bill.
The real kicker about this announcement was Tarantino wants the films to be anime-inspired, not unlike the Oren-Ishii sequence in the first "Kill Bill" film. This news alone should have Tarantino and anime fans salivating.
Of course, Tarantino is known to throw out ideas that either don't come to fruition or take years to make. We're still waiting for the "Inglorious Bastards."
Let's keep our fingers crossed just in case.
