Hopper rode his motorcycle across the new West in Easy Rider and said adios to the Western in The Last Movie, an anti-illusionist film that also parodies Godardian self-reflexive cinema and counterculture romanticism. Given free rein after Easy Rider's success, Hopper transported an absurdly large crew to the remote mountain village of Chincheros, Peru to make a movie that embodies the diffused energy of the sixties. When a Hollywood Western directed in Peru by Sam Fuller wraps, the stuntman Kansas (Hopper) stays behind with the wacked-out hope of building production facilities for subsequent films. The local Indians become his first quasi-clients: they act out a ritualistic version of Fuller's Western on the abandoned set. Here, as J. Hoberman observes, "narrative evaporates as continuity vanishes...actors go out of character...Hopper gives offscreen directions. This loss of fictional storyline is superseded by the disintegration of cinematic representation."
