GatorBait19 Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 I remember last year when a bunch of stars died within a certain amount of time, wonder if we could have that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 He was in a ton of different movies. It's too bad I can only say I remember him from Speed. He was a pretty bad ass villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I forgot that he was in Apocalypse Now as well, he was just a great character actor. Never a huge star but he was always great in what ever movie/tv show that he was involved in. No matter how crappy the script was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianCarter Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I remember last year when a bunch of stars died within a certain amount of time, wonder if we could have that again Well, fact is, the number of celebrities has increased every year since the invention of film. With TV arriving it increased even further. Now we are getting to the point where our crop of celebrities are graying like our population. Expect to see more and more celebrity deaths in the future. And yes, I'm sad to see Dennis go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 R.I.P. One of the greatest actors of all time imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 He was in a ton of different movies. It's too bad I can only say I remember him from Speed. He was a pretty bad ass villain. Oh man, how can you not remember his amazing job as King Koopa in Super Mario Brothers!? It made that movie watchable! I forgot that he was in Apocalypse Now as well, he was just a great character actor. Never a huge star but he was always great in what ever movie/tv show that he was involved in. No matter how crappy the script was. Super Mario Brothers and The Crow: Wicked Prayer come to mind. The last movie I watched with him was Hell Ride. Such a great flick.

Comradebot Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Great actor. A shame I'll probably best remember him for his AWFUL fake Eastern European accent in the first season of 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristram Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Very sad news. Rest in peace Dennis, great acting career and a hell of a journey through life. If anything, you seemed to be the walking epitome of Easy Rider itself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't remember that at all, but once you mentioned that an image popped into my head. I haven't seen that movie in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeldelayette Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 R.I.P. Dennis Hopper. A movie that I remember him being in that hasn't been mentioned here yet is Land of the Dead. Yeah I'm a big fan of the zombie genre, in particular the Romero zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
