Flashback

Inspired casting puts sparks in this comedy of counterculture clash between an aging 1960s radical and a buttoned-down FBI agent. Dennis Hopper plays an Abbie Hoffman-esque sixties activist and prankster who lands in the custody of a conservative young agent (a suitably uptight Kiefer Sutherland) and proceeds to literally unravel the agent's carefully constructed front through a series of slippery mind games. Hopper has a blast as the unreformed sixties relic, and Carol Kane is delightful as a hippie holdout who puts both men back in touch with their identities. There are few surprises, plenty of heart, and even a little sentiment in this story of rebellion and the legacy of the counterculture. The soundtrack is gilded with well-chosen 1960s anthems. --Sean Axmaker

Huey Walker:
The 90's are going to make the 60's look like the 50's.

Huey Walker:
You know, Buckner, if it hadn't've been for you, I'd be in a warm cell right now.

John Buckner:
Yeah, being beaten by a nice, warm, rubber hose.

John Buckner:
You want to know why, Mr. Walker? Because from here to Spokane, you and I are joined at the hip. You do what I say when I say it. You don't even take a piss without me watching. If you try to escape, I'm authorized to stop you any way I see fit. Do I make myself clear?

Huey Walker:
Don't worry, kid. I won't give you no exuse to blow me away.

John Buckner:
That's good.

Huey Walker:
Hey, do you want to watch me piss now?

Huey Walker:
I can't believe this! I've been abducted by the Vienna Boys Choir!

Huey Walker:
You know what your problem is?

John Buckner:
What?

Huey Walker:
You like me. You just won't admit it.

John Buckner:
Let me tell you something, Mr. Walker...

Huey Walker:
What happened to "Huey?"

John Buckner:
When you were riding around on your Indian and wiping your ass with the American flag, my father was in Vietnam. He fought there, and he died there too. So don't tell me I like you, because I hate your f***ing guts, okay?

Huey Walker:
I'm sorry about your dad. (Buckner shrugs) Yeah, I wiped my ass with the flag, I did. Gave me a rash.

Hal:
We've gotta keep drinking. If we sober up, we'll never go through with this.

Barry:
Hal, how are we supposed to keep drinking when there's nothing in the bottle?

Hal:
You called me Hal! Now he knows my name, BARRY!

Huey Walker:
I'll do it! I blow the FBI agent's brains out!

John Buckner:
He doesn't mean that folks, really.

Huey Walker:
Honestly, how many of you are here for the free sex?
