Fantastic movie! One of my favorite movies ever! In fact, it's about the 3rd movie I Have ever purchased on amazon. If you like drugs, then you'll love this movie! It's based on the book which is based on his real-life trips...Follows the book to a T until the ending. It's slightly different. I watch this every chance I get to introduce a friend to it!

One of my favorite movies so I’m glad I got it back on DVD at a good price. Nothing was scratched and it came sealed in plastic too! If you don’t buy dvds off Amazon you’re missing out!

Just a classic Johnny Depp on Hunter S. Thompson and in the realms of pink Floyd the wall and The Trip with Dennis Hopper...

There really isn't a whole lot that needs to be said about this movie. This is one of my all time favorite movies, it has been since I was younger, it will be for a very long time after that. Hunter S. Thompson is 1 of my favorite authors, I love almost every book of his that I've read. Also I believe that this movie is made a 100 times better because of Johnny Depp being the lead actor, he plays this role like no one could ever dream of playing and no 1 will ever dream of playing it again. I hope no 1 tries because they would ruin the role and it would be an insult to Hunter S. Thompson himself. Don't care if anyone disagrees with that statement or what the media says about anything that's happened in his past. Man's an excellent actor and hes acting out an excellent part. Enough said! Lol😁🤣

We were somewhere around Barstow when the drugs began kicking in. That’s the opening of Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas which is based upon a Hunter S. Thompson book of the same name. It was directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python Fame. It’s a drug fueled journey into Las Vegas in 1971 by Raoul Duke played by Johnny Depp who was obviously Thompson and his lawyer Dr. Gonzo played by Benicio del Toro. Originally they went there to cover a motorcycle race but most of it takes place in hotel rooms and casinos as the two trip off of a number of narcotics.

Most of the film is just hilarious as the two hallucinate, stumble and mumble their way through Las Vegas. During the opening for instance Duke believes there are bats flying all around them as they drive into Vegas.

There are a bunch of unexpected cameos as well. Tobey Maguire for instance place a hippy hitchhiker they pick up. Christina Ricci is a girl Gonzo found on an airplane who made paintings of Barbara Streisand while Gary Busey was a copy who pulled over Duke for speeding and then asked for a kiss at the end because he was lonely out in the middle of the desert.

Added to that were Duke’s/Thompson’s reflections upon the recently deceased 1960s. He wrote about how he experienced the Summer of Love in San Francisco and then saw it all end. There are pictures of protests against the Vietnam War and for Civil Rights thrown in as well capturing the period of youth culture, experimentation, sex, drugs and Rock N Roll that gave forth to Thompson’s book.

It’s a crazy mish mash that is a great and memorable trip.
