Uploaded for education and critical fair-use purposes.
Was on the lighting and camera crew on "Speed" and had daily discussions with Hopper on politics while he was in hair and makeup. This doc captured his essence. He was bigger than himself and could not be understood only in terms of his acting. Miss you...
One of my all-time favorite movies, and he played Howard Payne beyond perfectly!
I'm watching speed right now!!! Thank you for your contribution!
Youve never even seen _Speed._
Shit film
I want to thank the poster, and everyone involved in bringing this documentary to fruition. Very important to get something down about Dennis Hopper's life. Huge personality, and even more huge life and contribution.
Thanks for watching. I noticed it wasn't available online - so I took a version I taped off TV in Australia and uploaded it! Please share and subscribe for more.
This doco is outstanding
Dennis was my neighbor for decades. It is hard to believe my "like" was only 9th one.
I agree! Problem is, I had no idea this documentary existed until about a week ago. I get the feeling that is the issue with a lot of people, judging from the comments.
I also didn't know that he taught acting until seeing this. Wow, those lucky people who can say Dennis Hopper was their acting teacher! Geez!
any good stories? Dennis Hopper was such a treasure.
Did you see his art collection/artwork?
@@jacobadams5924 He was a wife beater who also physically and mentally abused his kids.
Loved this guy ❤
Been watching everything Dennis Hopper lately. Not only was this man a genius he was one cool motherfucker man.
Yes, a fascinating artist on many levels.
Even the 1995 Nike commercials?
Awh yes!, how did i not see this?. One of the coolest guys ever, and best actors ever. I've always liked him ever since i saw the Trip years ago, and the strange thing is, the year he died i bought Easy Rider, and left it aside for a few months, then i decide to play it and show my friends, the next day he's dead. He struck me obviously as a complete wild man which i love, but also warm and laid back -- he's the kind of guy you don't forget, and i always think of him.
If you've not already gotten "The American Dreamer" you need to. Don't watch the shitty VHS version here on RUclips, go buy it on blu-ray. They recently remastered it a couple years ago, and its how you should see it.
He embodies his vision
Saw his installation in Vienna. And the movie clip and easy rider in the theater they constructed. Thanks for this
Great documentary dennis hopper lived his life to the fullest and was a great actor and a artists. thanks for showing up and being dennis hopper.
Thanks for watching, share this around, its not available on Netflix or DVD ...
He was as good as Brando in the end. Did more in acting and art.
DENNIS HOPPER IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS
Terrific memories of Dennis; thank you.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was always intrigued by him after seeing Blue Velvet and The American Friend but I never looked into him honestly. This made me love the man. Such a great portrait on him and the authentic essence of the person he was.
Thanks for watching. Subscribe for more.
I love this documentary, great to see it in good quality too. Thanks for uploading!
Thanks for watching! Yes, not bad quality, recorded it from TV and onto a mini-DV tape because I didnt have any better way of recording it ..
Thank you for posting! Dennis was incredible
Great doc! Hopper's life and career are fascinating.
My favorite actor. Always has been..always will be
Love Dennis Hopper. After admiring him for years I was delighted to learn that he , Eric Satie and myself shared the same renigade birthday according to Astrodienst.
Which means literally _nothing._
I can't imagine anyone doing the Frank role as well in Blue Velvet as Dennis. No one. He and Isabella knocked it out of the park.
He had his life by portraying others his way.
Wow! Had no idea this existed. Dennis Hopper is an icon. Too bad he is underrated and not appreciated for the true genius that he was.
He's underrated? I don't think you remember his career correctly.
lm reading Hopper's biography now....its a wild ride!
Thanks for posting!
That laugh always makes me smile
LoL! Been Dennis Hopper fan for a long time and I've always said that the thing I loved most about him was his laugh. He had the greatest laugh!
Total Legend. Dennis is
Thank you for posting this!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
He told her not to read his Poetry . Because it was dark and it was evil unlike like her. A disturbing Voo Doo that wasn’t for all souls. It was best for him not to even mention. The art was wrong but yet Still it exist. When all you consume is evil from an evil environment. Few lessons come from it. And the lesson is unknown at this point. He hoped his pen would run out of ink. It drew a large amount of strength from his soul and physical body. Sometimes he was exhausted but could not stop writing. Too afraid he would forget the words and subject. But somehow he just lost his place.
This contract need not your mark, The Vatican has made room for you. Beware of assassins. This is not an invitation. Take your position among temporary GODS
A few months ago I saw the "Dennis Hopper Photographs 1961 - 1967" traveling exhibit in New Britain, Connecticut. I was, at once, very passionate again about everything I've seen from Hopper the actor & Hopper the visual artist. I consider the book to be an excellent follow-up to the exhibit & (now; i've just seen it) this documentary to be an excellent ...
Hopper had major demons but he was terrific in the art of acting, and just as good as an artist in general.
His waterworld performance was so good.
Valdez, AK.
He was hit and miss. Fried his brain from too much drugs early on in his career. But he was exceptional in Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now, and True Romance.
He was great in almost anything he was in... Even B-movies like Road Ends.
Of course! That was his 'thing'. Lol. Best Hopper movie = 'Out of the Blue". 👍❤️
Could be great, like Brando. But uneven. On and off the Boat.
Dude, _Apocalypse Now_ sucks. You are aware he wasn't even there? He and Marlon Brando are in two different countries, splicing film together together to seek like they're in the same scene.

I watch this on SBS 15 yrs ago
Me too! Thats when I taped it ..
What is SBS?

Always liked him, he played in good movies especially as the villain. That movie the glory stompers I always liked. I just watched a movie of his last night called the last day’s of Frankie the fly, it was really good, guess that’s why I’m watching this documentary, can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since he’s passed.
Hes great ... Lots of great small movies not many people have see too .. Like Road Ends ..
Port Film Co-op I’ll have to try and find that one
I didn't know this existed thank you
Hey, Im glad you liked it! Thanks for watching. I used to burn DVDs of this for people all the time ... Its quite an important film to me.. And Im glad to finally put it on youtube.
Thanks brother. If cameras followed him 24/7, there still wouldn't be enough film on this guy. He's one of the coolest ever! I'm a half hour into it and ive heard most of the storys before in other things but it's still fresh
he used to be realty HOT back in his teens & 20s ..Gorgeous face & eyes 💖🥰
I didn't know Richard Hammond had been in these many movies, crashes yes...
That was a great film.
Actors are a strange lot. Know a few here in NY. Never can tell when they are genuine or acting. Definately in their own world. Strange occupation to me, hey what do I know.
Poem in the end was awesome. Dennis was a salty dude.
There is also a video on RUclips of him reciting Rilke
39:26 ... Jack Nicholson blows my mind every time I see this scene ... 50 years goes by ... and it’s one of the coolest thing I’ve ever heard off .
I always get teary eyed whenever I see Jack's reaction when Dennis got his long overdue star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. Of course, they waited until Dennis was dying of cancer.
Brando was of the opinion that Hopper was batshit crazy.
If you're old enough to know who Hopper was, you probably know Brando. You know: The one everyone, including all his contemporaries and colleagues, had dubbed the greatest actor of all time?
What Dennis didn't realize he was every bit as good as Brando. Did more for acting and art.
Seeing the old men play golf made me think and we put them on a pedestal.
Okay. I can't continue this anymore. What's the song playing at the end at 1:27:25 ? I did everything I could to find it. I really thought it was a fairly popular song, but google isn't in it's brightest form today. So can anyone help?
Oh, great! Just found it. It's the Byrds...
The irony, I watched this on SBS, search for it on yt, ripped from SBS, sinced I watched this 10yrs ago, I think about it almost every fortnight
What is SBS?
@@theexpresidentsAustralian TV channel.
1:24:04 awkward!
Great documentary
👌👏
LMAO on the Mexico story. Weird how he can remember that story, but probably blacked out so many others.
Hopper's House 5:49
I’m no. 2!
luv that doc !! but what about creators who lies to everybody...
Huh?
I love Dennis Hopper- but his following sure is comprised of arrogant a**holes. Any job allows one to pursue their art.
@@idontsurf1Saying "comprised of" is ungrammatical English. It means "include," and you wouldn't say "include of."
So yes, his followers are assholes. But at least one is educated, and nice enough to teach a lower human the ways.
@@theexpresidentsno I think comprised of is correct
These folks tortured themselves to make films back then. The back scenes make a better film. Dennis Hopper was insanely different, but the drugs and alcohol will crush even a transcendent soul. Not to mention these locations themselves. They're soul crushing alone.
The Phillipines is soul-crushing?
Burbank is soul-crushing?
Walk naked with a rock to the edge of South America and come back with an army to take back North America from a lost imaginary world war 3. Bad Ass.
I would have picked him to play Donald Trump
Thats a very good call!
Donald Trump is the size of John Wayne!!x
As much as I like Hopper, he would have been too short to play Trump.
Arrogant. He kept a film company waiting for hours. How did he have career??
Because he was brilliant.x
Because he wasn't a female who works 2/3 the time of everyone else and then complains they get less money.
