CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Duke (Johnny Depp) takes too much Adrenochrome while Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) gets rid of Lucy.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Terry Gilliam (Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King) directed this colorful, stylized, pseudo-psychedelic $21-million adaptation of the 1971 Hunter S. Thompson classic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey into the Heart of the American Dream, about stoned sportswriter Raoul Duke, Thompson’s alter ego, on a wild drug-crazed road trip, a paranoid plummet into the belly of the beast, with his pal, lawyer Oscar Zeta Acosta. Originally serialized in Rolling Stone (November 1971), the book catapulted Thompson headfirst toward the Kerouac-Mailer-Capote pantheon and jump-started the entire movement of “gonzo journalism.” Carrying a suitcase of drugs, Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp with shaved pate) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) drive a red convertible across the Mojave from L.A. to Vegas, where Duke has an assignment to cover the Mint 400 desert motorcycle race. As the drugs kick in, Duke ventures into voiceover, filling in the blank spots and narrative gaps. “This is not a good town for psychedelic drugs,” says Duke, but even so, they consume vast quantities, eventually escalating to ether. Duke notes that with ether “you can actually watch yourself behaving this terrible way, but you can’t control it.” The two trash their hotel room, and Gonzo goes back to L.A. Thinking the hotel room holocaust will lead to an arrest, Duke begins a drive back to L.A., but after an odd encounter with a highway patrolman (Gary Busey) and a telephone conversation with Gonzo, he returns to Vegas to cover the District Attorney Convention on Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in the glitzy Flamingo Hotel. This time the drugged-out duo trash their Flamingo room. The crazed carnival atmosphere segues into a carney casino, Bazooko’s Circus, where a barker (Penn Jillette) spiels amid aerialists, clowns, and a rotating carousel bar. Gonzo worries over runaway teen Lucy (Christina Ricci), who paints portraits of Barbra Streisand. Soon the hallucinations begin: Duke sees Gonzo transmogrify into a demon with breasts on its back, and an acid vision of a Vegas bar features large legit lounge lizards (courtesy of monster makeup man Rob Bottin). Flashbacks depicting Duke’s intro to the drug scene jump back to love-Haight relationships in San Francisco’s Summer of Love. Cameos and guest stars include Mark Harmon, Cameron Diaz, Flea, Lyle Lovett, Harry Dean Stanton, Ellen Barkin, Tobey Maguire, and Hunter S. Thompson himself. The film features a Geffen Records soundtrack mixing rock of the period with Vegas lounge tunes. Over the years, various script adaptations came and went as did numerous talents; people connected with past efforts to film Thompson’s book include Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, and writer-director Alex Cox. Shown in competition at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.

The actors in this movie were phenomenal nailed it this is one of the many funny scenes lol 😆
This comment section absolutely reeks of Qtard
What a horrible way for benico to end to phone call to lucy 😆
can someone explain this movie to me? I do psychedelics and I have not idea what's happening in this movie?
Came back because I love how unhinged the comment section over this. Mfs feel like this movie was made to expose Hollywood lmao
EEEEEEEEE
this movie ruined so many people
Yea no thanks
Illuminati people…pffff
As a kid I bought this movie based on the cover…
Baby killers a for sure at the bottom of bucket.
I wonder if this is a visual metaphor for how people do drugs to turn their backs to problems, notice how Depp isnt facing Del Toro at all when he starts having the phone call
If you are about to post a comment about QAnon, stop yourself, and immediately contact a mental health professional
That scumbag Thompson KNEW about adrenochrome in the 60s-70s because he was involved in filming snuff movies for the elite. Sick fks
JD and BDT should have won Oscars for this film
i watches in 2022, i found this very scary.
kthemAll!
Right wing, Christian conspiracy theory when brought up but fully accepted and embraced when presented by Hollywood.
Adrenochrome huh
"Oh my God, there's someone at the door" gets me all the time.
The monster AH was talking about is from a movie 😂😂
I'm confused of the comments since Adrenochrome is not a hallucination or psychedelic drug.
