Review of Tracks

Tracks (1976)
There's gonna get'ya man! (SPOILERS AHEAD)
24 March 2004
Warning: Spoilers
This movie has got more great Dennis Hopper scenes than any 10 of his latest roles. You've got Dennis Hopper carrying his radio around looking paranoid, you've got Dennis Hopper walking through a train stark naked, you've got Dennis Hopper leaping out of a grave, wrapped in bullets with a machine gun after going on a tirade, "I hate and I hate!" This is one fantastic film. It has cameos from some great character actors as well--there's Harry Northup (Doughboy in Taxi Driver), and Richard Romanus (Michael from Mean Streets). If that isn't enough you've got the always entertaining Dean Stockwell as a man on the run. The music is beautiful and hysterical. Good luck finding a decent copy of this film on VHS. It's not on DVD and don't expect it to be any time soon. But, if you can find it treasure it like a fine wine. Actually, killing a bottle of wine while watching this film is a good idea. Drink up...
