  • Fantastic - HST trying to come to grips with the reality of turning words into pictures. He just wants the purity translated purely, even if no-one will go and see it and then the studio people get really angry and the whole show falls apart. God love terry g and HST.

  • @Bens3939 Unfortunately I would say a large majority of people who come to youtube these days don't even know who this man is, what he represented, or what he's accomplished. This is the generation of "Real World" and "Jersey Shore" idiocy. The youth today would be hard pressed to find anyone of substance these days. Damn shame. RIP Hunter!

  • erm this is footage of a scene that DID in fact make the cut, though a short scene it was. this is the courtroom in which thompson and his lawyer are tried for heinous crimes against lucy. love this movie btw. watch where the buffalo roam.

  • What a fine insight into the sharp-witted acid-tongue of Thompson, and: 28,000+ views later, not one comment of gratitude, until now!

  • Anyone got footage of this prison/court-style scene they're shooting? It didn't make the final cut, as I recall.

  • 3 of my favorite people (save for the laughing of terry)

  • Jesus, nobody has commented on this. Well I'd better say something intelligent then.

  • Gilliam was probably the only director on earth that could have done "Fear and Loathing" and made sense out of it. Captured Thompson's twisted world as well as anybody could. 

  • Great stuff! I always wished to hear Hunter talk about the film and with Gilliam it's obviously even better.
