Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
David Duchovny plays Officer Tippit—the same J.D. Tippit allegedly killed by Oswald—years before The X-Files made him conspiracy royalty.
Released during the '90s JFK obsession peak, this rode Oliver Stone's coattails but bombed because audiences wanted their conspiracies epic, not sleazy.
