The Big Picture A wise person once said, "They can't all be hits." Nevertheless, you can still make an engaging movie that, even though it's a little out there and weird, still draws an audience. Gene Hackman is one of the greatest performers in Hollywood history. His resume speaks for itself with notable entries like The Conversation, Night Moves, Superman I and II, Hoosiers, and many more. Of course, many will argue that his finest performance was one of his earliest.

Language English Actors Gene Hackman, Kris Kristofferson, Harry Dean Stanton, Karen Black Release Date January 14, 1972 Run Time 95 minutes Director Bill L. Norton Studio Columbia Pictures Expand What Is 'Cisco Pike' About? In his big-screen debut, Kris Kristofferson plays Cisco Pike, a young musician who has had some success as a troubadour. But he's hit a rut and finds himself trying to overcome his drug-dealing past.

Hackman's Bizarre Take On a Narc Takes an Ugly Turn in the Final Sequences of 'Cisco Pike' Hackman's take on Sergeant Leo Holland takes a magnificently bizarre turn when he reappears in the final few scenes of Cisco Pike. Sue is called to her apartment door, hearing a loud knock at her front door. She cracks the door, and Hackman sticks his head into the cracked door, looking for Cisco and his money. A disheveled Holland asks for a glass of water while nudging into the flat.
