listener it'll seem to be before they've even hit Play by looking at the cover and contents. Terry Gilliam's efforts to warp expectation stretch out to you before you've seen or heard a thing. And once you're in, it's a case of blasting from one song to the next via constant nasally-delivered dialogue from Johnny Depp. Strung together they somehow make a sense they never did individually. "One Toke Over The Line", "Expecting To Fly", or "Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again" were never career bests for Brewer & Shipley, Buffalo Springfield, or Bob Dylan. Yet slotted betwixt the likes of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" and Perry Como's "Magic Moments" there's an unexpected chemistry anyone can get high on. --Paul Tonks

Advantages: unconventional comedy, brilliant leads Disadvantages: the film itself is loosely attached to the main 'plot'
Wwhen i first borrowed this film, i was sceptical, i had always loved Johnny Depp's films and wasn't concerned that his acting wasn't going to be as great as in his other films, but reading the back made me wonder what kind of film this was going to be. i am very glad i watched it now, as this was the first film where i saw Depp get completely immersed into his character, with Benicio Del Toro playing an excellent side-kick. the movie itself is somewhat mind-blowing, even without a definitive plot, as the film itself is about Depp's character recording a motorbike race inVegas and yet the main theme appears to be drugs and its effects..
Fear and LoathinginLasVegas is a movie for those who don't necessarily need a set plot, and like their humour more thoughtful, more subtle, slightly psychadelic, yet none the less hilarious ...
Daaaamnnnnn this movie is the best ever! Featuring Johnny Depp, Benicio Del Toro, Tobey Maguire what is directed by Terry Gilliam.
A totally junkie movie. When the journalist and his lawyer are going to a motocycle meeting, and the trips on the way and there and after.
On the way there, they are going with a cadillac, "they were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold". This sentence always associates me for this movie. On the way they pick up an auto stopper and they trip him out that much that the poor guy had to run away when they stopped to snort coke... They are smoking joints in the car, eating LSD that's the REAL life!! At the entrance to LasVegas they see the sign.... Ok I don't remember exactly but there were written that for marijuana 30 years prison and such things... When they ...
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 the early 1970’s, during the Vietnam War, in the Los Angeles, two friends go to LasVegas 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 ...
