Lol Dennis didn’t hold back. Didn’t know Johnson wouldn’t support the movie. I saw years ago and liked it - and that soundtrack is wonderful.
Thanks for this, never seen this before.

1:19 the interview begins and it’s a great interview. Dennis Hopper was a great actor and filmmaker.

A very competent director. "The Hot Spot" is a terrific movie. A great story; perfect casting; well acted; great pacing; great direction and edited. You can feel the heat coming out of the screen. And he was right : Johnson was never so good before or since. He should have promoted the hell out of the movie. But ego is a terrible thing. Dennis took no prisoners and always spoke his mind. A great artist. And what an art collection he had. Thanks for posting this and greetings from Prague. CZ

wow,what a jerk! don johnson has more talent in his pinky finger than dennis has in his whole body,not to mention DJ is hotter than hell!!,the man can act,sing and has charisma,and miami vice was the best thing he ever did,not the hot spot...it was a good movie..but still, wow does dennis have a really big ego,he didn't promote the damn movie...so what,he acted and did his job,maybe there were personal reasons why he didn't...this interview left me screaming at my phone!

Dennis hopper was always outrageously narcissistic, but an incredibly interesting person non the less.
