Dennis Hopper...my god...


You can tell that he was completely in the clouds...high as hell and with the brain working less than part time...
He is the one that fits better in that jungle madness that the movie was...perfect cast...sooo worn out...no surprise why he says nobody wanted to do anything with him...almost better in the documentary than in the movie :)

Well, he was excellent in this documentary as well as the movie, but I'm surprised he didn't have a heart attack on the set in addition to Martin Sheen.

my buddy's cadence, and the way he talks, the "mans..." the shaking/spasmodic movements that he does are JUST like Dennis Hopper's in this documentary. The way they talk is like an engine, it gets all revved up and they start shaking and getting louder and louder and then finally the flow dies down and its awkward. this may or may not be due to LOTS of acid. also... frame of mind/mind power/comprehensive responses come into play.

i have no idea. for i too indulged in too much dosage

The thing is, if I saw someone like that on the street, I'd avoid them, but to watch Dennis in this film is absolutely hypnotic.

Yeah, I thought that was *beep* hilarious.

RIP

Hopper was certainly 'way out there', but he delivered a bravura performance all the same. Apparently spouting poetry was HIS idea.

In the later more contemporary interviews he admits that it wasn't one of his most "together" periods and lauds Coppola for giving him a chance when most in Hollywood were turning their backs on him (arguably for good reason, as this film shows ).
