  • to be honest it doesnt matter who played who or who was better. whats really interesting is they both did these films at different times and yet they act hunters character exactly the same... goes to show what an over the top personality dr. thompson had...

  • could i have another round please.....

  • Went through the rum diary a ton of times, can't wait for the movie to come out

  • The base line that is played soon after this in the hotel is sweet; anyone know the artist who does the track?

  • i enjoyed fear and loathing so i should give this a try bill seems very good as hunter

  • I'm the president of the United States, and I can do anything I want!

  • stick it to me

  • Wow...he looked alot different young. He looked like Cheech or Chong...

  • Personally I like Bill's performance better

  • peter boyle is a legend

  • Depps a good actor but most of his films suck, Bill Murray is a good actor and most of his films rule. And Peter Boyle rules.

    Enough said.

  • i think we can all agree benicio was better than peter boyle though

  • @11salparadise agreed. Fear and Loathing was a better movie but I like Murray in this more than I did Depp in that.

  • @McNugget06 yeah definitely bill was good in this its a shame he couldnt have been in a really good movie about hunter

  • How the hell could a monster like Nixon be elected twice?

    Oh, right! GWB got elected twice as well...

  • @bohemianwriter1 well people didnt know about all the bad things he was doing yet, same with bush

  • Nice, I haven't seen this. He does a pretty amazing job of en-capturing Thompson's mannerisms and speech! I agree, I wouldn't compare him to Johnny Depp. It would be easy because they played the same character, but they're both excellent.

  • Fear and Loathing was way better but as a big fan of Both Hunter and Bill I find this movie awesome

  • @donneric

    Fear & Loathing was a 2 hour long acid trip...

  • one of my all time fave movies!

  • Some **** goin down somewhere.

    ... Tough.

    Loved that line

  • fuckin nigga didnt even say thanks for the tickests.

  • what thompson flick was better, "fear and loathing in las vegas" or this one?

  • both of them are good this was the semi biographical movie and really you cant say which is better because there is going to be a third film out in theatres soon and that film will be "The Rum Diary" with Johnny starring in it as Paul Kemp

  • hard to say, they were very different but I like them both in different aspects. Lazlo was portrayed better in this version IMHO

  • I didn`t even know this movie existed...Bill played Hunter? I have to see this, it looks awesome

  • depp was epic in fear and loathing

  • the best person who never played Thompson was Jack Nicholson...and now it's too late, yes, for both of them.

  • um no. bill and depp the only ones.

  • i never seen this b4, is that robert de nerio at 1st on the fone?

  • i heard that to nail the character, bill murray lived with hunter thompson. on the first night at his house, thompson tied bill murray to a chair and threw him in a pool and then rescued him, this was all to make them friends

  • i prefere john :D

  • All these idiots bickering over Murray vs. Depp is a sad statement on the average attention span of America.

  • Comment removed

  • I never said anything about either one of them being better, so what's your problem asshole? Who gives a fuck what country you're from. Apparently ignorance and stupidity know no borders. Go pick a fight with someone on your own IQ level retard.

  • Bill Murray and johhny depp were the best playing this character

  • their the only people who did

  • nixon in futurama has exactly the same voice :D

  • hahaha, i was thinking the same thing!

  • "Tickets, passes and a key. Some shit goin down somewhere!!"

  • SUPER SUNDAY,

    where has tho gone?

    "Sock it too me"

    But I'm in kind of a rush.

  • All of yall are a bunch of Yahoos!... Personally, blah blah blah....in my opinion, blah blah....Just STFU!

  • CALM the fuck down every body its just a movie

    RIP HST

  • too be honest, my opinion is a way better actor then johhny depp. bill murray was very good freindswith hunter s thompson, he rallied with him alot back in the day and he knew how he acted and how he talked. bill murray was a great actor of hunter s thompson if u really studied the guy. johnny depp was a good actor as well but to be honest he acted like hunter from the book, not how he sometimes studdered and confused..bill murray does a great walk of hunter and sounds n looks just like him.

  • Your opinion is a better actor than Johnny Depp? Careful with your wording there. . . . Johnny Depp was closer friends with Thompson than Murray was. I do agree that he got the walk down better than Depp, but I wouldn't call either of them a better actor than the other. Both Depp and Murray studied Thompson restlessly for months before acting as him, and they both did outstanding jobs.

  • Johnny Depp wasn't playing HST, he was playing Raoul Duke. ;)

  • @kogler Yeah and Raoul Duke is Hunter's pseudonym ;)

  • @HippieCalle No no ... Raoul Duke is HST's alter ego ... ;)

  • @kogler sorry, that's the word!

  • koglers right. also why wouldnt depp act like the books portrayal? thats kind of the point of a movie based off a book.

  • man now i know why murray was staring so wistfully out the window at those parties. get a little high and this shit DOES sound weak to the ear. and you Know Thompson himself was quite high for most of his life. Respect to Bill Murray, but fuck the Buffaloes.

  • im sorry but murray is fuckin shite compared to depp

  • Dont forget benicio del toro his performance should of got an oscar

  • AHHAAHHAAHAH ''i am in a fucking nuthouse'' laslo walks in with nixon mask roflmaaoaoa ahaha this is fuckking hilarious

    HIII GUYYY

  • Goddamn! Murray sounds exactly like the actual doc.

  • this is one of my favorite scenes in this movie

  • We're in .... Sort of a rush!

  • fucking morons....bill murray is WAY better then depp

  • that's why everyone's heard of this movie.

    this is a terrible ode to thompson.

    for fucks sake, grow some mother fucking eyes, you dumb bastard.

  • FUCK OFF!!!!

  • hahahahaha.

  • wait a minute,when drunk i think i see this in the same light.

    FUCK those people

  • i don' know if Hunter would approve of this negative energy man. i mean, Mahalo.

  • i think you deserve more than a simple FUCK YOU. i mean you didn't just type, "thompson sucks" after all. how about this: if all you wanna do is google this shit then that's a bit lazy, look into his works and he's just into bestiality and snuff films, drugs and alternative thinking. no pedo shit here. come on man. get fucked up without fuckin up

  • you obviously have ZERO clue of what you are talking about.

  • meh

  • johnny depp>>>>>>>murray

  • Murray is the shit and I never knew Boyle died what the fuck

  • For everybody comparing Murray and Depp, stop. Its apples and oranges, Johnny was playing the alter ego of Hunter, Murray was playing the man himself, Johnny did awesome for his part, and Bill did awesome for his. No comparing.

  • @Numerater It's not quite apples and oranges. It's apples and a different type of apples. Murray and Depp are inevitably going to be compared because the roles they're playing are so similar.

  • @Numerater I agree. Apples are better.

  • I have never seen all of this movie, but I have seen all of Fear and Loathing, and this looks better.

  • HaHa "Super Sunday" what a classic scene this is from a brilliant Movie. Bill Murray & Johnny Depp rule. Relax & enjoy the Ride.

  • man,I miss the Doc...never knew him,but I still miss him...long live Doc Thompson's memory

    this movie is genius

  • Boyle looks like Cheech.

  • lol yeah he does. RIP Boyle

  • His style of acting didn't change... He used the same format in ELR. Great actor thought. RIP Peter Boyle.

  • what ccr song is playing at the end?

  • Keep On Chooglin'!

  • depp did a better job!

  • GOTDAMMIt

    he sounds and acts just like hunter thompson.

    he has to do another movie on hunter.

  • ....Or both!

  • 2 kool

  • "... drank all my liquor, did all my drugs, STOLE MY DINNER."

    lmao!

  • Did you even bother to watch this movie?????

  • Snotra,

    Go fuck your mother in the asshole or something....and don't type irrelevant shit like that you fucktard.

  • Thompson wasn't even close to being a liberal, you daft son of a bitch. If he was one, he certainly wouldn't have been a gun fanatic.

  • Well, when you take away the ... wait, Snotra, you boring old dust-farting busybody conservatives don't have any fun, and hate when others do!

  • Where The Buffalo Roam

  • who ever did the better acting job is neither here nor there, but what i can tell you is this,.. . hollywood is so full of shit with these new -actors- more like head shots with no soul depth or any respect for the craft of being in the moent taking risks and possesing the talent to even wipe their own asses. the best actors have passed and when depp,deltoro,penn,have passed aswell so will the last of the A M E R I C A N buffalo. by. Jay

  • Although I think both Depp & Murray are great actors, for very different reasons, and I think both of their performances as Hunter S. Thompson were amazing, for very different reasons, I have to say that I think Bill Murray's work was the better of the two. Blessings!

  • Bill Murray is a better comedian and this movie had a more joyful tone to it.

  • I second that!

    Bill Murray one of the top comics/actors!

  • I know, he's probably top 5 all time. He was always the show!

  • look it doesn't matter who did better playing Hunter S. Thompson or how much money it fucking made. It's simple you like or not. I thought it was a fucking awesome picture and so was fear and loathing they're both fucking fantastic movies, Thompson is a genius, Bill Murray and Johnny Depp both did great jobs. Buy the ticke, take the ride!

  • This is the interpretation that formed my visual image of Thompson, whether it was "true" or not so much, and I've always loved it and found it endearing. Murray is brilliant, and in retrospect I think he captured the hapless side of Thompson, which Depp really didn't touch on. I don't think Hunter was ever in "control" of the situation, but that in his prose he made it appear so. Murray's Hunter is indeed more human, and funny, and probably closer in spirit to the real Thompson.

  • I'd say this. Murray does capture the more natural, real side of Hunter S. Thompson. However, Depp does a fantastic job paying attention to the subtle nuances of the guy. He does a better job with the voice, movement, and mannerisms. It's so hard to judge because how much Thompson is Duke, and how much Duke is Thompson? It's tough.

  • Im sorry to Johnny fans but bill takes the cake for this movie, hands down. Really, he captures the average every day stoner/dontgiveashit/getfucked­upeveryday person that he was meant to be.

  • Agreed, Johnny Depp's performance as Raoul Duke was almost like Thompson's fantasy version of himself whereas Murray's is more realistic. Thompson himself was pleased with Murray's performance, but he hated the movie

  • I agree about the "fantasy" part of it. Johnny is something of a character actor, and I think his job for Fear and Loathing was to capture Thompson's alter ego.

  • exactly "james5955" is an idiot and doesn't get the difference between the two characters, and the men who played them.

  • Super Sunday is next sunday! Glad i saw this scene before hand. Classic movie, Bill & Peter at their best.

  • I totally disagree. I feel the movie was quite enriching with calulable social values that far surpassed the $1.50 mark.

  • Bill got the voice just right, great actor, he's even better than Johnny.

  • pour peter boyle-2006

  • How amazing was Peter Boyle?

    RIP, wizard.

  • i love hunter s. tompson he is an amazing jounalist and every thing he does his awsome you rock for putting this online

  • Gotta love the 1970s, when you could smoke a joint with your buddy in front of a very busy hotel in broad daylight.

  • you still can just put a ciggarette filter over the joint lol

  • what the hell would that accomplish? you'd still get busted smoking a joint with a cigarette filter on it! landlubber is right - it aint like the 70's

  • You can still do that in certain places.

  • murray blows depp away

  • Man you aint got a clue lol Jouny Depp was perfect...Depp had the voice the look the movements...Bill barley has any of them.

  • Well I take that back....he did a very good job but Depp was awsome.

  • dude jonny depp was fucking awsome but then again anything that has to with hunter is awsome ............we cant stop here this is bat country

  • True...

  • hey chris whats up

  • Sorry, but Depp was basing his character more along the lines of Raoul Duke, Hunters alter ego so to speak. Exageration was the key to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Thus the way Depp acted. However, it was quite an excellent performance. Bill Murray was more along the lines of the real Hunter.

  • Agreed, Johnny Depp's performance as Raoul Duke was almost like Thompson's fantasy version of himself whereas Murray's is more realistic. Thompson himself was pleased with Murray's performance, but he hated the movie

  • I know what I want to do; live my life as an adventurer on the road doing my own thing like keeping a journal too.

  • heard about it, but didnt know what a piece of shit it was. I like Thompson, but this movie seems like it didnt have any direction, frame or script. And Murray acts awkward, totally miscast.

  • that's what makes it perfect.

  • "No direction..."

    You clearly don't understand Hunter S.

  • ass..

  • What? lol

  • oh man, put the whole thing on! great stuff thanks!
