Film Description: Terry Gilliam (Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King) directed this colorful, stylized, pseudo-psychedelic $21-million adaptation of the 1971 Hunter S. Thompson classic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey into the Heart of the American Dream, about stoned sportswriter Raoul Duke, Thompson's alter ego, on a wild drug-crazed road trip, a paranoid plummet into the belly of the beast, with his pal, lawyer Oscar Zeta Acosta. Originally serialized in Rolling Stone (November 1971), the book catapulted Thompson headfirst toward the Kerouac-Mailer-Capote pantheon and jump-started the entire movement of "gonzo journalism." Carrying a suitcase of drugs, Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp with shaved pate) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) drive a red convertible across the Mojave from L.A. to Vegas, where Duke has an assignment to cover the Mint 400 desert motorcycle race. As the drugs kick in, Duke ventures into voiceover, filling in the blank spots and narrative gaps. "This is not a good town for psychedelic drugs," says Duke, but even so, they consume vast quantities, eventually escalating to ether. Duke notes that with ether "you can actually watch yourself behaving this terrible way, but you can't control it." The two trash their hotel room, and Gonzo goes back to L.A. Thinking the hotel room holocaust will lead to an arrest, Duke begins a drive back to L.A., but after an odd encounter with a highway patrolman (Gary Busey) and a telephone conversation with Gonzo, he returns to Vegas to cover the District Attorney Convention on Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in the glitzy Flamingo Hotel. This time the drugged-out duo trash their Flamingo room. The crazed carnival atmosphere segues into a carney casino, Bazooko's Circus, where a barker (Penn Jillette) spiels amid aerialists, clowns, and a rotating carousel bar. Gonzo worries over runaway teen Lucy (Christina Ricci), who paints portraits of Barbra Streisand. Soon the hallucinations begin: Duke sees Gonzo transmogrify into a demon with breasts on its back, and an acid vision of a Vegas bar features large legit lounge lizards (courtesy of monster makeup man Rob Bottin). Flashbacks depicting Duke's intro to the drug scene jump back to love-Haight relationships in San Francisco's Summer of Love. Cameos and guest stars include Mark Harmon, Cameron Diaz, Flea, Lyle Lovett, Harry Dean Stanton, Ellen Barkin, Tobey Maguire, and Hunter S. Thompson himself. The film features a Geffen Records soundtrack mixing rock of the period with Vegas lounge tunes. Over the years, various script adaptations came and went as did numerous talents; people connected with past efforts to film Thompson's book include Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, and writer-director Alex Cox. Shown in competition at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.

hamburger stand, the waitress was about 16 years old, they chopped her goddamn head off right there in the parking lot, then they, cut all kinds of holes in her and sucked out her blood, they were after the phenal gland i think, yeah, now hows your momma? not something youd wanna hear while on ten doses of strong sunshine

[Harbinger28567]

I'm sure people will argue, but that is one of the best depictions of how visual behave and how sounds fade in and out when one is on LSD. There's probably other movies portraying it, bythis is the best I've seen.

[thenewaeon]

Tell me about the fucking golf shoes!

[procrastinator66]

I'm guessing the folks who dislike this movie have never had the psychedelic experience. Personally, I have constant belly laughs at this. Definitely one of the best depictions of hallucinatory state that I've seen created in film. Right up there with the Doors movie.

[Kevin Hall]

You'd be "off the planet" with some very weird shit happening and someone would always say "Pretend it's not happening" which made it worst as I thought it must indeed BE happening! LOL

[lddevo88]

Probably one of the best films ever made.

[Bregowald]

Probably one of the worst films of all time.

[Richard Canipe]

well i saw it and it wasn't that bad or the worst!

[Bregowald]

One of the worst movies ever made.

[Tordah90]

Fuck! The claustrophobic & uneasy feel is so well conveyed in here. Well done Mr Depp.

[monkadelic13]

"there is no way to explain the terror i felt.. 33 dislikes..."

[monkadelic13]

never had to look for golf shoes... but i can say this is pretty accurate especially when you got the great gazoo or someone like it on your shoulder talking to ya
