  • Oliver Stone: no.
  • Kilmer's Apex: Batman or the Tombstone Huckleberry role are mentioned, but this giant movie-star role made him a star; agreed.
  • Meg Ryan: no.
  • Desert drug scenes are asked about as an Apex; the reply muses that the movie cemented the desert as the place for hallucinogenics, with no yes given.
  • Frank Whaley's Apex is put at Pulp Fiction or Career Opportunities; debate over whether Apex means peak or most juice; this movie was not a success.
  • Kyle McLaughlin (as spoken): no, Twin Peaks; Michael Madsen: no.
  • Billy Idol's movie career definitely peaked in 1991, with Cameron and Stone wanting him.
  • Barney's Beanery: no question.
  • Hedged: you could argue the Doors music was most potent in 1991; disputed, with three Doors periods described.
