    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At the Union Station train depot in Oakland, Dennis Hopper made fast friends with the two Asian children seen in the film waving at his character as he departs the waiting area. He spent his off time playing with the kids during set up. Their reactions to him in the film are genuine.
    • Goofs
      When Buckner and Walker board the train (in Oregon), Stark asks Sheriff Hightower where the next stop is. Hightower replies, "It's across the border into Canada." Washington State lies between Oregon and Canada; it's very unlikely that the train would bypass Washington state.
    • Quotes

      Huey Walker: Once we get outta the 80's, the 90's are going to make the 60's look like the 50's.

    A Fun Period Or The Beginning Of The End?
    For the most part, this is an enjoyable "flashback" for most folks, a look back at the wild and crazy late 1960s. I would have enjoyed it more without all the blasphemous exclamations out of Keifer Sutherland's mouth.

    For those who loved the '60s and its hippie-far Left political and cultural stances, this will be a nostalgic remembrance of those days. For those who think that period was the beginning of the end, morally and culturally for the U.S., this film will demonstrate that, too.

    Regardless of where one is politically, the film moves very fast, is very entertaining, and has almost no credibility. In parts, it's just embarrassing it is so ludicrous.

    Dennis Hopper is very believable as the ex-"hippie" and Carol Kane is a hoot as the "flower child." The rest of the cast, led by Sutherland, is nothing but irritating.

    Also, the soundtrack of '60s songs is excellent.
