I’m watching a film called Night Tide, from 1961. Dennis will have been in his mid-20s then and looks very boyish. He isn’t much taller than the lead actress and is rather short compared to the other actors. He plays a sailor, and looks no taller than 5ft7-7.5.

I’ve been watching a couple of Tarantino scenes, one being the hilarious Gold Watch Story and the other from True Romance when gangsters invite themselves into Dennis Hopper’s residence to find out where his son and his wife have disappeared to - with the gangsters’ cocaine.
Christopher Walken is the lead gangster, and had to dye his usually fair hair black for the part and wear dark face makeup as he’s a Sicilian. It’s a very entertaining scene, and the sheer guts displayed by Dennis Hopper is staggering; he’s a retired cop. He will not divulge where the two youngsters are and even winds them up with a tale about Sicilian ancestry. He hasn’t long to live, and he knows it. Christopher Walken gives him the kiss of death and shoots him in the head.
Quentin Tarantino loves the scene and I remember reading it’s his favourite of all his films. It’s very violent but jazzed up with a large helping of humour.
Dennis gets 5ft7.75. 🕯

The late, great Dennis Hopper starred as a teacher in My Science Project, a film from 1985. Actually, I’m wondering if he’d lost height when this was made; he was 48/49 at the time and doesn’t look much above 5ft7.5.
I’m going with 5ft7.75 for his peak, but he looks shorter than 5ft8 in this, so ideally, I’m going to have to check out his earlier work.

Appearing alongside Rock Hudson (6'4-5") in Giant (no pun), I'd say about 5'7".

Seeing the list up top has reminded me how many films of Dennis's I haven't got!
I do love his brave performance in 'True Romance', playing the Policeman father of Christian Slater's Clarence Worley, before he's to meet Christopher Walken's nasty gangster personage.
"He's right! She tastes like a peach!" 🍑 Dennis's reaction when he kisses Alabama, played by the gorgeous Patricia Arquette, goodbye. Alas and alack, it was to be his last kiss. 😢
5ft8.5. 😃👌😘 Patricia looks tiny next to him and she has to go on tiptoe to give him his kiss!

@Rob: That makes sense. Brando's 5'8.75" seems fairly certain and Hopper never gave the impression of being Brando's height. 172 cm would make some sense as it explains him looking shorter than Penn at age 55, unless Penn and Bronson both wore lifts and poor Dennis was left unarmed, but that didn't look to be the case. Hopper definitely seemed more than just an inch shorter than Sly in golf shoes in 2002, but I don't know how much he had lost by then.

I think the 5'8.5" claim was his peak height in shoes. A 55 year old Dennis Hopper was shorter than 5'8" Sean Penn, who was noticeably(more than an inch) shorter than a 69+ year old Charles Bronson in 1991. Unfortunately, the best picture showing this appears to have disappeared, but Bronson at 5'9", Penn at 5'8" and Hopper at 5'7.5" is much more believable from those photos of the 3 support "The Indian Runner" at Cannes than Bronson at 5'8.5" and both Penn and Hopper at 5'8".

Hopper could seem like a 5 ft 7 ranger at time but 5'8 flat might be right. I would have gone with 172. This guy was B-A-D-A-S-S even by LA 80s rock standards, 3 grams of coke and 30 beers etc a day at peak. You wouldn't think it to look at him when he got older, he didn't get that Jagger/Richards/Ashcroft/Iggy Pop super sunken in face look typical of a life of drugs, he aged surprisingly well, but always a bit unsavory/seedy looking.

Well, Sam and Sandy, the movies are movies and that particular art doesn't always imitate life all that well. It just seems odd that frank immorality is presented as normal, harmless and funny in so many movies. The worst offender on my list is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. We're supposed to like these guys, because they're handsome and they say funny stuff, but they're criminals. I'm assuming that you've seen the movie. In it, Butch and the Kid and the hole-in-the-wall gang are interrupted in a robbery by the super posse. All the robbers except Butch and the Kid are summarily killed, and neither Butch nor the Kid expresses any sorrow for their dead companions. (News, Harvey, Flat Nose? Who remembers them?) And then, in the end, Butch and Sundance kill at least ten Bolivian soldiers. We in the audience don't mourn those men. We're glad they were killed. That movie makes the audience complicit in evil, and most people don't realize it.

I agree in that Tarantino's characters always spoke in movie speak but that his movies became more divorced from human behavior over time, to the point where the lauded mid-career films like Inglorious Basterds and, to a lesser extent, Django left me fairly cold due to their lack of human behavior or reasons to invest in the characters despite Christoph Waltz acting the hell out of his parts in both. I think Jackie Brown is his best film in regards to relatable, universal humanity on screen.

@ Ian C - But I am a fan of Quentin's, and find his films hugely enjoyable, including the collaborations, ie 'From Dusk Till Dawn'.
Quentin's special effects are so unique to him that you always know when he's been responsible for a scene. I saw my the New Year/Birthday (I can't quite remember, as they're both in January!) in watching 'Reservoir Dogs', and shortly after that, I watched 'Pulp Fiction'. I next want to see 'True Romance', which, though it had been at the time I read the article, the sweariest movie ever, and includes a huge body count, still ends on a good and positive note. Personally, I find swearing rather funny, as did my Mum. At school, if we swore in class, we'd have our mouths washed out with soap and water, so seeing it in all its glory in a Quentin Tarantino movie has an extra special essence for people who grew up like I did!
I never watched 'Gunsmoke' - I couldn't stand it - but I know what you mean by today's movie heroes being bad guys. I've been into the 'American Horror Story' seasons of late, though I find that good prevails in that), but before then, I watched 'Boardwalk Empire', and the baddies are indeed the heroes.
Quentin Tarantino is a self-confessed movie buff, but I don't think his liking for movies has any influence on how he writes. He's far too much of an individual. His great film, 'Inglourious B'sterds', the idea of which was years in conceiving, and is probably my favourite, has a positive ending. Hitler and all that rotten lot are popped! You can tell that good does tend to prevail in his movies.
So that's why I like this very individual individual, Mr Ian C! I also like Stephen King. Have you seen Stephen's 'The Stand'? That really is the ultimate good versus evil movie. Though utterly different, these two writers are among those I rank the highest from geniuses of my era.
All the very best to you Ian!

Y'know, Sandy, you're almost comically kind and generous in your posts on this site, so it seems a little odd that you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino. I truly enjoyed Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, but much of the appeal of these movies is in their cruelty and cynicism, and I'm now a little dismayed that I liked them so much. For all the comedic brilliance of Tarantino's dialogue, nobody in a Tarantino ever speaks like a real human being. In fact, Tarantino's knowledge of how people speak seems to be cribbed from movies, rather than real life.
Why are so few movies and successful TV shows these days about good people? I remember the TV shows of my childhood, like Peter Gunn or Gunsmoke, whose heroes were decent and heroic, and you were supposed to like them. Compare that to The Sopranos, whose main character was a vicious sociopath. I mean, what happened?
I can think of only one successful movie franchise character who is a good man: Rocky Balboa. In the first Rocky, the plot hinges on Rocky's essential decency and integrity. Of course, it is made clear that Rocky is also not very bright, so the only decent movie hero is also the one with least innate intelligence. Which is pretty cynical right there.

Rewatched Blue Velvet and he may be wearing ample footwear if not lifts in playing the imposing Frank Booth, from his appearance you would guess him a tightly coiled 5'9" in the role, but he certainly looked more like his listing in other films and at times a weakish 5'8" at that.

I could buy a weak 5 8 peak he was short but not tiny.
He did seem to have short arms and legs making his overall size small.
Gotta say 5 9 is crazy that would be average for his era he was short.
He also claimed 5 8 .5 hard to believe I seem him 5 7 to 5 8.
This of course does not take footwear into account, other than cowboy boots he seemed content with flats.

If anyone wanted more evidence that Hopper was under 5' 8" then watch the movie "I died a thousand times." He has a short scene where he dances close up to Shelley Winters (listed as 5' 4" on here and other sites). Winters is wearing heels which could be about 3" high but even then that would only bring her up to 5' 7" so if Hopper was barefoot he should still be an inch taller than her. He was wearing dress shoes and Winters towered over him. He was looking up when he spoke to her. Unless this listing is for shoe height then 5' 8" for Hopper is out of the question. So is 5' 7" for that matter.

I just watched an old episode of Cheyenne and Dennis appears as the leader of a gang robbing the passengers on a train. He was wearing cowboy boots and he was still shorter than everyone including the women young and old. I doubt if he was even 5' 7" I think a fraction over 5' 6" would be nearer the mark.

In "Rebel Without a Cause", 5'0" Natalie Wood's head come up to his mouth level. I don't think there's 8 inches from your mouth level to the top of your head. Especially not if you're way under six feet tall.

I always thought of this guy as really short and stocky but upon watching Apocaylpse Now, I have to say...he looked sorta tall. I thought he looked more 5'9" next to Sheen. That movie did a great job at making average sized actors look huge, espically Robert Duvall and Marlon Brando. Anyway, I can easily buy 5'8" for his peak height...and Sheen was apparently never more than 5'6".

robotix: You're correct with Laura Dern.
In his prime Dennis was a tad over 5'7" now he sticks with that height. Also in Easy Rider he's wearing boots.

It's funny, but from left to right, it looks like he grew an inch in each of the 3 pictures, going from 5'6" in the first to 5'7" in the second to 5'8" in the last....lol.

guyfrommars, looks like Laura Dern has 6" on him if she straigtens up. Could be she's wearing 3" heels which is 5'10"+3"=6'1" which is 6" above 5'7"

It´s funny, in the three pics both Glenn and Hopper wear almost the same clothes, with slight differences

Dennis is at least 5'8". I am 5"8.5" and was wearing boots with a 2 inch heel, and took a picture with him and our heads were basically the same level. I would say much closer to 5'9" really, definitely not shorter than 5'8" though.

Dennis Hopper was never more than 5'7". I met him back in the very early 1970's. That's why I'm telling you that James Dean was no more than 5'6". In Rebel Without a Cause, Dean was the same height as Hopper and Dean wore lifts! Check out Hopper's height in Giant. He's not wearing lifts. Compare him to Dean who is.
By the way, here's Hopper with Kiefer Sutherland: Click Here
Now tell me all you Kiefer fans, is he really 5'10"?
In that shot of Glenn and Dennis, Glenn looks like he's just been "goosed"!

Anyone remember if he looked around the same height or shorter than Nicholson in Easy Rider? I seem to remember Jack being taller though there is talk of his being 5'7''
