In the summer of 1973, I saw Easy Rider and decided to go hitchhiking across America. I was 16. In the summer of '73 you could get away with hitching cross country without worrying about getting killed like nowadays. I got picked up by some good old boys. One of them had hair down over his ears, and we pulled into a diner just like the one in this movie. I had hair over my ears also. We're not talking long hair, but it was long enough to get your ass kicked in 1973 in a seedy little diner like the one in this movie. As we walked through the door, one guy in a Peterbilt cap let out a hoot and a holler... I didn't know what they were yelling about; I just sat down and waited to give the waitress my order. We waited for about a half an hour maybe, maybe just 20 minutes, and we got the message and left. The scene in this movie is extremely realistic.

There were just as many serial killers/kidnappers in the 70s. They just didn't have as much media coverage, so the general public wasn't as aware of them as we are today.

I remember those guys with flat tops, full of smug hatred. Though I was a little kid at the time, I was old enough to remember the bikers of that time period also. I spent a lot more time around them. My dad sold motorcycles for a living and had a Harley chopper raked out there close to Captain America's, except dad's was yellow. I have a picture of him somewhere with long hair, dark sunglasses, and a beer sitting on his chopper. He probably headed out for a ride drunk soon after. He used to sometimes ride with a bike gang for kicks.They were some crazy, hilarious guys. We'd go every five years or so to Sturgis for vacation, back in the 70s before it became a bunch of patent attorneys with fake tatts. In our small lower Midwestern town, there were so many bikers who hung around that the locals, even though some of them might have liked to hate on them, just kind of shut up about it. The bikers weren't outnumbered where I came from. I remember in '69 when dad and the guys from the cycle shop went to see Easy Rider. I was a small child not even in kindergarten yet, so I didn't get to go and was sore about it. When dad got home he said "They blew 'em away." Didn't know what that meant at the time, but of course I know now. Years later, in the early 80s, I became a Christian. Dad never could stomach that until the day he died, he was always the "live free biker" type, he didn't have time for faith in anything but himself and his friends. He was always ready to fight. Still drank and caroused here and there and got in bar fights into his 60s. Walked with a bad limp til the day he died from that time he plowed his Harley drunk into a car head on. Amazing he lived to be 74. I spoke about becoming a Christian. Unfortunately, many of those smug, hateful flat tops had gone into religion and did a pretty good job of making it rough on many of us young guys just trying to love Jesus. As I grew older, I stopped caring what people thought of me and stopped playing nice with them. I didn't hold my tongue anymore. I even broke up a church service once, big verbal showdown from the pews with the pastor. He finally gave up and stopped trying to preach that evening. If I told you what he'd said, you'd agree with what I did. It was unbelievable how hateful those types could be when they got religion without Jesus. Whenever I saw cold, hateful hypocrisy I called it out--and still call it out, including on myself. I may be a lot different from dad, but in some ways I'm my father's son ready to fight. Love you, dad.

He gave all the drivers & extras, envelopes full of brand new $100. bills. We went out in all directions and bought every yellow rose in San Antonio. We brought them all back to the hotel where the actors were staying and put them all over the place! There were hundreds & hundreds of yellow roses. Peter was sweet on actress Loretta Swit and she said she loved yellow roses. She was very amazed. That was a great adventure.

I found someone selling light sticks. I was stoned playing around with it. I cut one open and found that it glowed green on everything you put it on. So, I had a great idea. I cut a bunch open and put the liquid all over my clothes & cowboy hat. I was completely glowing bright green!!!! I started walking through the crowd. People were blowing thier minds watching me. It was a blast. But sadly, the drugs were messing people up. There were not enough medical care there. They were overwhelmed. I ended up taking care and watching over a handful of ODs at our campsite. Non of them died, the next morning they all woke up ok. They All thanked us, then they all started partying again. It was a real wild concert that lasted for days. I'm glad I got there early and I'm glad I took a lot of supplies & camping gear. This concert & a Grateful Dead concert in Austin at Manor Downs in the early 80s were the 2 wildest concerts I ever went too.

I saw this movie in the late 90s. Came from Ireland in 2003 with a cali girl and broke up soon after so went hitching. I ended up hitchhiking around America .

As a 19-year-old, I hitchhiked from Chicago to Boston via NYC and Connecticut. There were no cell phones, social media, fewer guns, and less casual violence. It was a more civil society, generally, but racism and prejudice were more overt and outspoken as depicted here.

seems like a century ago, things have changed so much...

I watched this movie at the Oakland Army base movie house on 3/15/70, the night before deploying to Vietnam. I smelled something funny and said "what's that funny smell". The guy next to me laughed and asked, "you don't know what that is?". Marijuana hadn't made it yet to the neighborhood where I grew up on the South side of Houston. It was a real eye opener to me then that somebody had the nerve to light up on the base.

I wrote the script for this and I'm so proud of the way it was made into a movie.

The director told the local men in the diner that the 3 main characters were actually murderers and rapists (not just hippies) to bring out an extra level of hostility in their acting

Small towns never change. Back in 2003 or so my friends and I went camping on the north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota, close to the Canadian border. Split Rock Lighthouse (highly recommended) was our main campsite, though we also went up to Grand Portage, and took the ferry to Isle Royale NP. On the way home we decided to take a leisurely drive on state highways instead of rushing home on the Interstate. In small-town Minnesota we stopped for dinner at a small-town cafe. We weren't hippies or anything unusual, though one friend was a Korean-American. You'd think lizard people from the planet Pluto entered on hovercraft or something. The whole place stopped and looked at us. As we were served, the waitress kept interrogating us about where we were from. Maynard? Maybe Clara City? Nope. As she served other customers, we could see her relaying the intel to them, and receiving instructions for more questions. Maybe we bought one of those new houses going up outside of Prinsburg? Nope. Out-of-state contractors for the highway? Wrong again. They were standoffish, but not rude. We definitely were the talk of the town that day.

This is about when American film went back on location after being studio bound for so many years. Ushered in a great decade (70s) for American film. Interesting film that in hindsight, glamourized a hippie lifestyle that had a very dark underside. The film making's very good though. Hopper had some very good people working with him on this.

I can remember solo hitchhiking years ago. I’m 72… Yes, there were dangerous characters out there but it was commonly known not to go below the Mason-Dixon Line… I met one blond & blue eyed hitchhiker who claimed he was recently beat up and his dog was shot dead, while hitchhiking through Texas… There was a purpose for having long hair during the 1960’s and most young people felt the same way: to end the Vietnam War and to promote equality among Races, and just simple happiness. I guess things got boring. We seem to be right back in those days where people were extremely provincial. Big difference today is that for some strange reason, there are many more people who seem even more angry about peace, love and happiness…

Yeah sure, in the late 60's early 70's you might have some situations with southern locals harassing hippies passing through, but there's NO WAY the following attack / murder scene would have ever happened. Back then, a lot of the parents / locals in these towns HAD teenage boys who were growing their hair long. I know because part of my family is from the deep south; e.g. one of them was best friends w Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Allen Collins' wife.
