    I would have loved it if the two characters from Easy Rider had walked past him when he was standing outside the cemetery😎
    The punk couple were cool mind.

    genuine acid trip in a movie is still a rare thing. that scene was something else

      It looked so utterly real.. Acid back them was very potent...Not surprised at all to hear it was a genuine 'Bad' trip.

    From what I understand, all the New Orleans scenes in Easy Rider were not shot during principal photography with a 35 mm camera, but are actually just 16 mm films shot as a proposal to make the movie. And that was before they had 16 mm film with T-grain, to make the 16 mm comparable to 35 in image quality. That's why the image quality at Mardi Gras and the Cemetery is so poor...

    Mercifully I never had a 'Bad Trip'...It was always that unknown quantity...''Would this be a good or bad trip?''...... I am too old for it now, but very grateful I had the experiences. But the scene so looks so realistic.........I didn't realise they were actually tripping, but thought it was extremely well acted. Acid was very potent then.
    Operation Julie bust made me realise where our acid came from...Locally! After the bust it tripled in price. Made at a suburban house in Hampton, nr Kingston upon Thames. House still stands.
    They were in cahoots with some Americans too, Brotherhood of Eternal Love...maybe the makers of this stuff in the film?

    Hey great video, really like to hear the history of the Italian tomb. One thing though Fonda had said that real LSD wasn't used for that scene, only real grass in the earlier scenes. Love your channel though keep up the good work!

    I legit just went to New Orleans yesterday and today I went to that cemetery and visited that tomb, we went and saw the grave of the voodoo queen and all that stuff. Our tour guide talked about the movie and why we can’t film.

    That scene in _Easy Rider_ was most definitely NOT the first time Jack Nicholson ever smoked weed. He indulged before he even began his acting career, as he said on a number of occasions. And he had been an actor for a number of AIP movies ( _The Raven_ ) years before _Easy Rider_ .

    • @paintbox9899
      @paintbox9899 4 роки тому

      yeah jack was hippy at the time who was gutted about cutting his hair for the part in the film. I remember hearing Peter Fonda say they gave him some strong grass to make it hit him hard as he already had a tolerance.

  • @crystalp7242
    @crystalp7242 4 роки тому +4

    Don’t forget that those scenes he mentions (from Easy Rider and Bonnie and Clyde) became possible to show in American film because the Production Code was on its way out. It made Hollywood basically censor itself for about 3 decades, although it became more difficult to enforce by the 1960s. It was eventually replaced by the current rating system in 1968, the year before Easy Rider’s release.

    Archbishop Hannan was not only a great prelate, a compassionate pastor, but a legendary hardass as well. As a chaplain in WWII, he made combat jumps. I can imagine him putting the hammer to disrespect of the cemetery. However, it kept on in my day. In the 1970s, I remember as a young man that people reached into dilapidated tombs to remove human bones. I almost fell off my chair when you mentioned the tombs were a "Catholic slow cooker crematorium."
    My wife and I lived in Gentilly. I miss the city and sometimes I wake up with a powerful hunger for a Mother's roast beef po boy with debris.
    Love your videos!

    • @johnard611
      @johnard611 2 місяці тому +1

      I wonder if Archbishop Hannan got his jump training from Herbert Sobel, the original commander of Easy Company from Band of Brothers? After losing his company, Sobel commanded a jump school that trained 400 non-combat personnel.

    You showed up in my reccomendations recently, I forget which one, maybe one of the Lincolnite ones, but I loved the history stuff.
    But I ADORE the crossover of history and movies. Easy Rider is always one of my favorite movies. On my bucket list, I feel like I need to either recreate Easy Rider or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, at least once in my life.
    Pssst. If you're ever in Pennsylvania I got the acid hookups.

I stuck it out but fuck was I anxious the entire time. Had to go to the beach for an hour to take a breather....and watch the fireworks. That made things a little better lol

      While most of the series was filmed in Georgia, Lafayette Cemetery no.1 was one of the few New Orleans locations actually used. Its been a few years since I've watched the show, but it seemed to me that some of the cemetery scenes were likely shot on a set, especially when they went inside a crypt. But nothing about that immediately popped up when I searched the web.
