Rating:  - Henry Fonda was wrong
I heard Peter Fonda say that even though his father Henry Fonda didn't like Dennis Hopper that after he read 'The Last Movie' he said, "this is one of the great westerns of our time." Well, Hank may have been right about what was on the page but what ended up on film was a cluttered mess. I am a fan of Dennis Hopper somewhat but no matter how you slice it or how much his Hollywood friends try to dress it up this movie stunk. I bought it back in the early 90's and watched it. I gave it to a friend ... Read More
Rating:  - Worth checking out at least once....
This is Dennis Hopper's notorious follow up to Easy Rider. It's a film that shook studio executives to the core because it was such a mess in their eyes.

They cast Hopper's character in the lead, but have no understanding that violence is faked in Hollywood. Hopper ... Read More
Rating:  - What ? Huh . . . . ?
It's just too bad the natives only had stick cameras, they probably could have done a better job. I watched this movie because I wanted to see what caused Dennis Hopper's demise with the studios after the success of "Easy Rider". Disjointed, boring, interesting somewhat, really bad lighting and sound. It's a star-studded borefest. Would be great if Mr. Hopper would re-release a new version that made sense. But maybe that's the point. I am grateful Dennis Hopper survived "The Last Movie" to give us what ... Read More
