Best movie in the world. Superbly acted. Johnny Depp is awesome-so is Benecio DelToro. It is about to men Raoul Duke(Depp)a journalism expert- and his samoan attorney- Dr.Gonzo(DelToro)- that go to Las Vegas to cover the Mint 400 (a motorcycle race)- and to find the American Dream, acompanied by a trunkful of drugs- these to men turn a simple weekend task-into a psycadellic whirlwind... From a word caption for Sports Illustraded, to a book, to the screem- comes a movie both hilarious-and-savage...
"You took too much man! Too much! too much!.." - Dr. Gonzo
"BEAUTIFUL FUCKING TITS!!" -Raoul Duke
"We were somewhere around Barstow, near the edge of the desert-when the drugs began to take hold"- Raoul Duke
"ONE TOKE OVER THE LIIIINE!!"-DR.G
One Toke you poor fool?- just wait until you see those goddamn bats..."-RD

it's a move you pull on the police in a car chase. you go really face take a sharp turn and about 1 mile down the road you get out of your car and lean on it to make it look like you were waiting for them.
Maddog: "So, what are you in here for?"
(insert cool name here): I killed my wife and the cops came chasing me, gave 'em a hell of a time when I pulled a "fear and loathing in las vegas"
Maddog: "Your fucking crazy man!"

Great fuckin' movie! Got to add some points that have been missed: based on real events while Hunter S Thompson was supposed to be covering the Mint 400 (not filming it) - it was originally supposed to be a Sports Illustrated caption, not a book on the American Dream written in pure Gonzo journalism. The attorney is based on the real man, Oscar Acosta, who was also there and is Chicano, not Samoan. Hunter tried to get first SI, then Rolling Stone to cover "expenses" but they were deemed too outrageous - Random House paid for it, giving them future control of HST's book.
