* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The scene where our two heroes and two prostitutes drop acid in a New Orleans graveyard. It features a young girl reciting a Catholic prayer, Creator/PeterFonda babbling to a statue of Virgin Mary as if it was his own mother (who committed suicide when he was 10), and lots and lots of rapid cuts of faded film. It's...very strange. Justified, as it's supposed to represent the effects of being on acid.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The main characters receive (murderous) persecution for being counterculture bikers in the Deep South. In more modern times, "outlaw" culture has become embraced in the South, and bikers dressed like them wouldn't be seen as anything particularly noteworthy.

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: As Creator/DennisHopper's wife was driving him to the airport, where he would fly to Louisiana and shoot the film, she said it would bomb and he'd become a mockery. He replied by asking for divorce... and when settling the terms, she only didn't ask half his winnings from the film because Hopper was so drugged and paranoid those days that she thought he'd kill her.

The result: ''Film/TheLastMovie'', which was once considered to be one of the 50 worst movies of all time. Hopper's later films were mostly duds, although ''Colors'' became both a critical and financial success and ''The Hot Spot'' has been VindicatedByHistory.
