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.

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

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