Agreed.
He always made me rent/watch cheap B-Grade movies if he was in them, it could have a cast of nobody's but if it Had Dennis Hopper as the badie it was worth the $2.50.

CFOUR, Mario Bro's 2 just wouldn't be the same without him :(

RIP.

Anyway the first time I remember seeing Dennis Hopper was in Speed. He always made a good bad guy I thought. He looked extremely unwell in that picture above. Atleast he's not suffereing anymore.
