KUNG FU BOB

A classic that immortalized a very unique period in time. The odds of Hopper (and company) being able to create a coherent film while under the influence of so many drugs is nothing short of a cinematic miracle. I adore this film, and it's soundtrack (which created the model for many soundtracks that came after).

Rest in peace Dennis, you beautiful, crazy, freak-flag waving SOB. Ride easy forever more brother.

It's the movie that cost George Lazenby his 007 career. =D

"Easy Rider was the No. 1 movie. Everyone was smoking marijuana, and that was the furthest thing from a James Bond movie. So I didn’t sign the contract. I was badly treated after that. They told the press that I was difficult to handle, so it was hard to find work.”

- George Lazenby

You have to take the time period in perspective : Bond WAS considered passe by late 60s and many prolly thought 007 would go belly up in the 70s.

"Everyone did weed"

Not true , afaik Burt Ward never messed with that stuff....he prolly didn't drink either. That's just an excuse to goof off , "if they do it , so must I !" lol
