1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Dennis Hopper
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, Antonio Mendoza, Phil Spector
Continuity mistake: Billy and Wyatt and the two commune women are having a swim in a water basin. Wyatt is sitting on the rim, splashing his feet in the water, and 'his' girl starts swimming towards him. Then it cuts to a frontal close-up of her smiling at him, but you can still see his feet splashing in the background. (00:39:30)
Billy: You must be some important dude, man. Like, that treatment.
George Hanson: Dude? What does he mean, dude? Dude ranch?
Billy: Dude.
Captain America: Hell no. Dude means - nice guy, you know. Dude means: regular sort of person.
George Hanson: Well, you boys don't look like you're from this part of the country.
Trivia: Originally Dennis Hopper didn't want Jack Nicholson in Easy Rider.
Question: What kind of dirt bikes are they riding in the opening scene of Easy Rider? Is it Harley?
