Walter Hill walked the Fantastic Fest opening-weekend carpet at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar as the festival’s 2026 Lifetime Achievement honoree — the first recipient to get a nationwide Alamo retrospective. Before the award and a screening of Extreme Prejudice, AMFM’s Paul Salfen asked the Warriors and 48 Hrs. director about El Paso heat, Rip Torn’s “nightmare” reputation, how you eat an elephant, and the Hail Mary that kept a career from vanishing after The Driver. Hill’s answer was short enough to tattoo: tell the story.
