About this product

Product Information

FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS is a whirlwind of a movie, a wacky, drug-laden story backed by a fist-pumping rock & roll soundtrack featuring everything from Wayne Newton and Tom Jones to Combustible Edison and Dead Kennedys. Journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) heads to Las Vegas to cover a motorcycle race, bringing along his Samoan lawyer, Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro), in this furious adaptation of the book by Hunter S. Thompson. It is 1971, and Duke and Gonzo are on their way to Sin City with a frightened hitchhiker (a nearly unrecognizable Tobey Maguire) and a trunkful of drugs, which they ingest nonstop. Depp is terrific as Duke, Thompson's alter ego, and Del Toro is a riot as the crazy lawyer. To perfect his Thompsonian performance, Depp spent a lot of time with the good doctor, and it paid off in a film that captures the frenetic pace of the counterculture novel. Director Terry Gilliam, a master of complex, bizarre visual imagery, has a field day interpreting the drug-hazed world in which Duke and Gonzo reside. An all-star cast chimes in with wonderfully offbeat bit parts, including Harry Dean Stanton, Gilliam regular Katherine Helmond, Flea, Cameron Diaz, Ellen Barkin, Christina Ricci, Gary Busey, Lyle Lovett, and others.

Even Las Vegas was not up for the arrival of these vacationers from hell.
If it isn't officially a cult classic, it's very close. Depp's portrayal of Hunter Thompson was a tribute to a lost friend in their wild youth.

Horrible
I bought this dvd to add to my collection. Great movie but wish I purchased it elsewhere. Cuts and rips on the dvd case itself. The disc has too many surface straches to be considered in 'good' condition. Was very disappointed. Take your money to another vendor!

Iconic comedy/drug/philosophical flick
If you missed the 60's and want to know more about this crucial time in American history, then this is the movie for you. If you want to learn about "Gonzo Journalism" then this is the movie for you. If you don't care about any of this, you will laugh your head off anyway. Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro give bravura performances, with a whole host of cameo appearances from the likes of Gary Busey, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci, Cameron Diaz, Ellen Barkin, and Mark Harmon to name a few (since this was made in 1998, Cameron and Ellen are hot!). The entire movie bounces all over the place from the most hysterical sight gags and physical humor, to appalling drug abuse, to deep philosophical musings on the 60's and the American Dream. NOT FOR CHILDREN (and most teens). Also, watch with the captions on so you don't miss a funny (or serious) comment.
