I don't think I have ever seen a more menacing character than his in "Blue Velvet".

Never watched that. If you've seen the original Cape Fear, how does he compare to Robert Mitchum's Max Cady?

I wasn't aware he was in Cape Fear. Wasn't that Dinero?

Robert Mitchum was the best there ever was imo. I still think Hopper's character gave off a more malevolent air.

I once heard on a Paul Harvey radio show that Mitchum was nervous making the movie because he had actually in real life escaped from a chain gang in Savannah as a youth, and that is where they filmed the movie.

BTW, Hopper was born in Dodge City, KS.

Blue Velvet was really, really disturbingly violent....hated to see Dennis play such a violent character....E-Ring will be more to our liking..I hope....
