At last the Feds have caught him! Infamous 60's radical Huey Walker (Dennis Hopper) is heading for jail. So how come it's Huey's yuptight FBI escort (Kiefer Sutherland) who ends up behind bars? And why do they soon team up as uneasy riders on the lam? With Dennis Hopper as Huey, you couldn't ask for a better match of actor and role. He helped usher in the Age of Aquarius with Easy Rider. Now he takes a look back with Flashback, a comic collision course between the tie-dyed 60's and the pin-striped 80's. "The 90's are going to make the 60's look like the 50's," Huey predicts. Put on your love beads over your power tie and get in on the good times!
"...the Hopper performance...is quick and smart..." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"...has its moments of reliving the past..." Dennis Scwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Editor's Note
When straitlaced, yuppified G-man John Buckner (Kiefer Sutherland) is assigned to escort ex-60's hippie radical Huey Walker (Dennis Hopper) to the federal pen for past crimes, the agent finds that the old burnout is a little more cagey than he counted on. Walker gets Buckner intoxicated and steals his identification, landing the FBI agent in jail instead of Walker. Hopper and Sutherland lampoon the differences between the idealistic 60s and the money-grubbing 80s in this 1990 action comedy.
