1* HarsherInHindsight: A film titled ''The Last Movie'' who becomes a CreatorKiller. Hum...
2* HilariousInHindsight: The film within the film which was "directed" by Creator/SamuelFuller was about Pat Garrett and UsefulNotes/BillyTheKid. The other [[Creator/SamPeckinpah Sam, Peckinpah]], directed ''Film/PatGarrettAndBillyTheKid''. Both movies star Creator/KrisKristofferson.
3* ProtectionFromEditors: The book ''Literature/TheFiftyWorstFilmsOfAllTimeAndHowTheyGotThatWay'' recounts the film's production in some detail, saying that the studio was so eager to cash in on the youth market following the success of ''Film/EasyRider'' that they gave Creator/DennisHopper ''[[AuteurLicense carte blanche]]'' and they were horrified with the results.
4* VindicatedByHistory: While he had disparaged the film in the past, Creator/DennisHopper said it was ahead of its time, and only now had audiences and critics started to understand his artistic vision. In 2006, Hopper told ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' that he had re-acquired the rights to the film and was planning a DVD release. Hopper did not realize his plans to release the film on DVD before his death in May 2010. On August 16, 2018, Arbelos Films, Vidiots & American Cinematheque hosted the Los Angeles 4K restoration premiere at Sid Grauman's Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, California. A Blu-ray of the film was announced for release on November 13, 2018. Even [[https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Last-Movie-Blu-ray/188694/#Review contemporary]] [[https://www.timeout.com/movies/the-last-movie-1 reviews]] that criticize the film's chaotic approach deem it worth watching.
