Out of the Blue (released in Canada as No Looking Back) is a 1980 Canadian drama film directed by and starring Dennis Hopper. The film was written and produced by Gary Jules Jouvenat. It competed for the Palme d'Or at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. This was the first film Hopper directed since 1971's The Last Movie, stepping in at the last minute to replace the original director (screenwriter Leonard Yakir).
Film Critic Jonathan Rosenbaum considers it one of the 15 best films of the 1980s.
It centers on Cebe, a rebellious and troubled young girl, played by Linda Manz — interested only in Elvis Presley and punk rock music — as well as her ex-convict father Don Barnes (Dennis Hopper), and her high-strung mother Kathy (Sharon Farrell). The title is taken from the Neil Young song "My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)".
The film was made in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and various icons of Vancouver in that era are featured in the film, including the Pointed Sticks, one of the leading bands of Vancouver's punk era.
The film was aired in full on UK TV Channel 4 as part of the Red Triangle series on January 10, 1987.
The song "Kill All Hippies", from Scottish rock band Primal Scream's 2000 album XTRMNTR, features a sample of Manz' dialogue from the movie.
