Did You Know?
| Trivia | Dennis Hopper considered this movie a follow-up to Easy Rider (1969) in that this is what would have "likely happened" to the Easy Rider (1969) characters ten years later with Out of the Blue (1980) actually being made and released about eleven years after Easy Rider (1969). See more » |
