1998 Directed by Terry Gilliam
Raoul Duke and his attorney Dr. Gonzo drive a red convertible across the Mojave desert to Las Vegas with a suitcase full of drugs to cover a motorcycle race. As their consumption of drugs increases at an alarming rate, the stoned duo trash their hotel room and fear legal repercussions. Duke begins to drive back to L.A., but after an odd run-in with a cop, he returns to Sin City and continues his wild drug binge.

For absolutely no reason, I watched this dubbed in Spanish with no subtitles.
For some reason, it works. Somehow it adds to the insanity.
"Don't fuck with me now, man! I am Ahab!"
I watched Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time ever last night... And I wasn't sure exactly how I would take this film. I typically dislike films of this nature but every once in a while I find an exception. There was a point in Fear and Loathing where I realized I loved it; and that was when Raoul Duke was loaded up on a suitcase full of drugs and he was nervously waiting in line to check into a hotel. His inner monologue was running a mile a minute and his face was covered in sweat. He needed to check in, but he obviously was not in…
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
Directed by Terry Gilliam
-Nice
A car full of any kind of drugs.
- Good
A bald Johnny Depp in trip to Las Vegas.
-Great
His lawyer is Benicio Del Toro.
- Amazing
"Calm down. Learn to enjoy losing."
I tend to have a lot of trouble with Gilliam, mostly because I think his formidable, deliberately garish visual powers don't really do much to mask his incredible self-satisfaction at bluntly provoking people he thinks are dumb squares in the most perfunctory way possible, then complaining when nobody's interested. In this case though, that dovetails nicely with the script's almost sycophantic valorization of Thompson and his admittedly heroic hedonism (thank God this actually makes drugs seem like crazy fun), a genius asshole lunatic contending with the seemingly sudden dissolution of his moment. This might be Gilliam's WOLF OF WALL STREET.
