Out of the Blue is a legendary film shoot from the days when Vancouver could barely scrape together one professional movie crew. Dennis Hopper directed this melancholy study of a teen girl (played by Linda Manz from Days of Heaven) from the wrong side of the tracks, who looks to lead the life of a punk rocker.
She meets a LOT of west coast lowlifes with ball-hugger jeans and bad haircuts (the 1970s Vancouver we all miss).
I met members of Hopper's crew some years later, and to a person they all had serious substance abuse issues (apparently gained by working on that shoot).
Dave: How did you guys end up in the movie Out Of The Blue?
Nick: We were the hip and now band in Vancouver at the time, and Hopper was coming up to rescue the movie from bankruptcy when Perry Mason/ironsides pulled out. We asked him (Dennis Hopper) at one point to see some kind of script so we would know what we were getting into. He told us it was all in his noodle. I think those were Dennis's very dark days; there was a lot of cocaine floating around the set. Our scene was shot totally live at a free gig on Vancouver's downtown eastside, which, if you've ever been there, you will know is definitely the wrong side of the tracks. By the way, we got $1000 for appearing, which our manager spent on god knows what, and I've never received one cent in royalties from the two songs in the movie. Fuck, we don't even get credit at the end!!
