(1969) dir Dennis Hopper, w/ Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Karen Black [95 min]
“You boys don’t look like you’re from this part of the country,” says hungover lawyer Jack Nicholson to leather-garbed, star-spangled Peter Fonda’s ‘Captain America’ and Dennis Hopper’s hirsute, fringed buckskin-clad Billy.
