Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter the success of Easy Rider (1969), Universal Studios created a youth division, making "semi-independent" films for low budgets in hopes of generating similar profits. The idea was to make five movies at $1 million or less, not interfere in the filmmaking process, and give the directors total control and a share in the profits.

Mrs. Anderson: You know, I had fantasies like that, about being beat up. Did you ever have a fantasy about women beating you up? Or don't cowboys have fantasies?
- Crazy creditsThere is a nearly-15-minute gap between the first title card, "A FILM BY DENNIS HOPPER," and the other title card, "THE LAST MOVIE".

THE LAST GREAT NON-LINEAR MOVIE OF THE GOLDEN ERA
The Last Movie would have been much better if Dennis Hopper hadn't let his hippie friends in the editing room. If the scenes where rearranged in a chronological order rather than being non-linear as it is, it would have stood a chance. However, the late 60's/early 70's (which many critics consider a "golden era" in filmmaking) was a time of experimentation, so if Hopper wanted to be self-indulgent he was in the right time at the right place. This is one title that begs to be recut. I would suggest a DVD with the original cut on one side and a new directors cut on the other. It would be fascinating to hear Hopper's audio commentary for further insights into where his mind was at the time (if he is capable of remembering, that is). By the way, this movie won first prize at the Venice Film Festival, so it wasn't the total failure (artisticly) that many critics have tried to make it out to be. I personally like it. The only other non-linear film I can think of from that era is HEAD(1968) which was far more succesful in terms of structure, or rather, non-structure. Had these films been commercially successful they might have revolutionized filmmaking, or at least spawned a non-linear film genre.
