After doing a re-make of John Cassevetes’ 'Faces' 1968, I decided to re-make another American classic, Dennis Hopper’s 'Easy Rider' 1969. ![]() One of the best bits: the mismatched couple being bombarded with an ear-piercing rendition of "The Age of Aquarius" by their dippy traveling companions. Easy Rider, a drama movie starring Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, and Antonio Mendoza is available to stream now. Two drop-outs on motorbikes travel the long road from Los Angeles to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. to New Orleans in search of freedom and spiritual truth, encountering small-town. The fact that everyone in the audience knows precisely how this one will end up is inconsequential Cusack and Zuniga deliver such engaging performances that we're pulling for them to wise up and discover one another from the very first scene. Two motorcycle-riding drifters set off on a cross-country trek from L.A. Gib and Alison despise one another on sight - so naturally, they are compelled to travel to California together. Likewise planning a westward journey is coed Alison Bradbury (Daphne Zuniga), a control freak who has a wealthy, stuffy fiancé over there. ![]() ![]() It has a fresh, up-tempo mix of pop-country, featuring both organic and electronic. John Cusack plays Walter "Gib" Gibson, a self-involved college freshman who makes plans to head to California, there to touch base (and a few other things) with a "sure thing" played by Nicollette Sheridan. Easy Rider is like Keith Urban, Billy Currington, and David Nail. Director Rob Reiner's The Sure Thing is essentially It Happened One Night for the 1980s, but its lack of surprise in no way impedes its entertainment value. This is the definitive counterculture blockbuster. ![]()
