Recommended for Aspiring Drug Addicts

Advantages: Lots
Disadvantages: None

...here goes…

Fear & Loathing follows gonzo* journalist Raoul Duke** & his attorney, Dr Gonzo***, on a trip to Las Vegas, the intention - to do a piece on the Mint 400 Desert Motorcycle race, and then later on a Narcotics & Dangerous Drugs convention, so off they set in the famous great red shark (Hunter S. Thompson's red Chevrolet Caprice convertible) - sounds all very simple so far, and a bit dull really, so let's spice it up!
...
...many attempts to actually make Fear & Loathing into a film, many actors had over the years been considered for the roles of Duke & Gonzo - Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, John Malkovich & John Cusack, who eventually went on to direct the theatrical version of the book. Along with many actors being considered, many directors were also considered (including Martin Scorsese & Oliver Stone). There was also an attempt at an animated ... more

You shouldn’t see the lack of an established plot as a reason not to see this film, there is some reasoning for the characters actions and it’s basically down to drugs. Johnny Depp plays Raul Duke, a sports journalist sent to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race but instead spends his duration dropping acid and suffering the consequences. Benicio Del Toro, who ...

Well anyway, he plays the part of Raul’s attorney, Dr. Gonzo and does the usual attorney things. You know, advises him on the law and how much acid to take while on vacation. There is the mis-conception that this film attempts to glorify ...

One toke over the line, sweet jesus

Advantages: Gloriously twisted
Disadvantages: Maybe too gloriously twisted for some

...line summary of the film, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas explodes onto the screen. Although it seems fairly futile to add what must be around the 16th review of a product, I still feel compelled to extol the virtues of this fine cinematic triumph to all who are willing to hear me. However, firstly a word of caution: this is not a film which will appeal to everyone. The plot is - in the words of the Pythons - wafer thin. This can largely be attributed ...
...this and we can experience Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas in all its digitised glory. As an additional note: The reason for the lack of DVD is because of some copyright issues with the extras on the Criteron version being released in the UK, so the process of releasing a DVD in region 2 format has become more complicated. I don't know the ins and outs but it does mean that the lack of release isn't because of lack interest, it is in fact a legal ...

Gilliam and the Gonzo experience

Advantages: Twisted, anarchic, darkly hilarious...
Disadvantages: Incomprehensible if you're not in on the joke.

The question was: what would my favourite director make of one of my favourite books? Terry Gilliam certainly had the credentials - the insane animations of Monty Python; the twisted, neo-nostalgic dystopia of Brazil; the much-maligned, chaotic genius of Baron Munchaussen. What better visionary to bring Hunter S. Thompson's hallucinatory masterpiece to the screen? (Although a version by Peter Greenaway might have been interesting...) The nominal ...
...on a drug fuelled mission to Las Vegas to cover a desert race, dragging along his criminally insane attorney (Del Toro) for company. On discovering the race to be a total farce, they jettison the story and embark on an odyssey of seriously anti-social behaviour. Depp goes bald and successfully contorts himself from heart-throb to drug addled weirdo, while Del Toro bloats out as the maniac attorney. There are a few cameos to be spotted (Cameron Diaz ...

Unsure whether to fear or loathe...

Advantages: Great insight into what drugs can do to your mind.
Disadvantages: Don't buy if you are anti-drugs. No plot.

Unsure whether to fear or loathe… This is one of those movies that ended up in my video collection by way of a chance purchase. I knew nothing about it other than what it said on the back of the box, and that it had Johnny Depp in it. Not that I am a big fan of Mr. Depp, and not overly enamoured by films with drug culture themes. I think I watch them if they come my way to see just how idiotic some people can be under the influence. Set in ...
...Angeles, two friends go to Las Vegas for the weekend. One is a magazine journalist who needs to write an article about a local Motorcycle Rally happening in the neighbouring Nevada Desert and the instigator of this brilliant plan. This is the character played by Johnny Depp. He is accompanied by his lawyer, who I am rather suspicious of as just being along for a free ride. (And I am not entirely trusting of the lawyer bit either.) They load up the ...

Surrealism just got real

Advantages: Johnny Depp is very funny in this
Disadvantages: Drags towards the end, very little plot

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is adapted from the book of the same name by Hunter S. Thompson. It stars Johnny Depp as journalist Raoul Duke along with Benicio Del Toro as his attorney Dr.Gonzo. When Raoul gets an assignment to cover a big motorbike race in Las Vegas the two embark on a drug-fuelled trip to the city. Along with them they carry a suitcase full of different drugs, many of which I would bet you've never heard of. Along the way they ...

Also look out for short appearances by Cameron Diaz as another reporter that Dr. Gonzo falls for while completely out of it and Christina Ricci as a puritanical girl, Lucy, in the city to present Barbara Streisand with millions of portraits of her that Lucy has painted. Dr Gonzo slips her a tab of LSD before finding out that ...

Hunter S Thompson Compilation - Loving It!

Advantages: Both great films that do relate to each other
Disadvantages: Some might not like the comparison of Depp and Murray

I bought this the other week to go with the rest of my Fear and Loathing Merchandise and to be honest both films are as good as each other. Its without a doubt one of Bill Murray's best performances in Where the Buffalo Roam, telling the story of Hunter S Thompson incorporating some great Thompson moments however it is at a disadvantage of having the comparison alongside it with Johnny Depp in Fear and Loathing as Raoul Duke/Thompson. I mean Johnny Depp really does play the part extremely well but you've got to remember that Where the Buffalo Roam was released 18 years earlier and so Bill Murray plays Thompson well before the Depp days of Terry Gilliam directed Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. To be honest its one of the best mixed box sets I've ever bought and I admittedly enjoyed both films as much as each other, Peter Boyle ...

Review of Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas / Where The Buffalo Roam (DVD)

The film that brought us together

Advantages: Clever, original, funny brilliantly directed and acted
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

I met my partner and the father of my 2 year old six years ago. The one thing that drew us togehter and cemented our relationship was our love of htis film. This film could not fail to win me over. I am a huge fan of Johnny Depp and Benicio DelToro and a massive fan of both Terry Gilliam and of course Hunter S Thompson. Some have said you need to be on drugs to enjoy this film. I disagree. Drugs may give it a different slant but are certainly not a must. An open mind a sharp sense of humour and great attention to detail are all you really need. The film follows Hunter Thompson on one of his first journalistic trips to cover a bike race. He and his lawyer (Oscar Z Acosta, also a published author) take the trip together indulging in many substances along the way. Their observations of the environment and situations they find ...

Review of Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas / Where The Buffalo Roam (DVD)

Fear & Loathing

Advantages: Brilliant film - Brilliant Directing, Brilliant Acting
Disadvantages: Need to be really wasted to appreciate brilliance!

Fear & Loathing is a superb film, Johnny Depp gives an absolutely amazing performance. This film is basically a buddy movie fuelled on every single kind of drug you could possibly imagine (and some that you probably never thought of!) Based on a true story, one of Hunter S's trips to Vegas to film a bike race (I think) - the only thing I remember about the bike race is Hunter (Depp) on the back of a pick up with a beer mug filled with sand! This film is definately a film to put on after a messy night out, you definately get more out of this film at the end of a long night of drunken escipades & extra cirricular activities. If you put this film on on a lazy Sunday afternoon you are not going to enjoy it, unless of course you are truely hard core and have been awake since you got up to go to work on Friday morning & have not ...
