Short description
Wyatt and Billy, two Harley-riding hippies, complete a drug deal in Southern California and decide to travel cross-country in search of spiritual truth.
What's left behind the scenes
- In 1998, the Library of Congress added the film to the National Film Registry for its cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance.
- Captain America’s motorcycle was very difficult to handle. During the filming of one scene, Jack Nicholson (who was sitting on the back seat) pressed his knees so hard against Fonda to maintain his balance that he broke one of his ribs.
- In many scenes of the film, the actors smoked real marijuana, but powdered sugar was used as a substitute for cocaine.
- The role of the lawyer was originally written for Terry Southern's friend, actor Rip Torn. During a meeting between Torn, Funds, and Hopper, the latter spoke disparagingly about rednecks he had encountered while traveling through the South, which greatly offended Torn, a Southerner. The argument nearly escalated into a fight. As a result, Torn left the project, and the role went to Nicholson.
- Captain America's chopper became the most expensive motorcycle in the world. In October 2014, during a very heated auction, the motorcycle was sold for a staggering $1.35 million.
