"Fear and Loathing on the Road to Hollywood" (1978) also known as "Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision" is a short documentary produced by BBC Omnibus (basically, arty British tv series). It pictures Hunter S. Thompson in the late 70's, when he was eventually getting bigger than life. It was directed by Nigel Finch.
This smoothly directed road trip movie pairs Thompson with his inseparable fellow, famous illustrator, Ralph Steadman. The party travels to Hollywood via Death Valley and Barstow from Las Vegas being closely pictured by BBC crew and certainly interviewed at the spot.
This is a rarity and must-see for die-hard fans!
Long live the GONZO!
Hunter S. Thompson for a pope! Stomp on the Jesus, mon!
Where the fuck are you when people need you the most?

"I am living a normal life, wife, child, peacocks..." only hunter would mention 'peacocks' while trying to explain how normal his life was

What would Hunter make of the modern gun violence epidemic- merely the natural extension of the crazy American dream gone off the rails? Observe right wing vice: they smoke copious amounts of weed that fuels their crazy terrorism of the weaker- the non-white the politically non-correct- some becoming Pot moguls following decriminalization. Trump supports should smoke it more- anything would improve their fascism. As Thompson was fond of demonstrating: when the going gets weird, the weird turn Pro...

Hunter was a great dude. Plain and simple. Won’t be another. He was a slithery intellect and made his way about. I do admire him but at the same time despise because he reminds me of myself. But he was something else.

He was NEVER a Hells Angel, he was a hang around. That's not a put down to Hunter he would confirm this.... but obviously can't. He rode a 650 BSA and had permission to record and write about them. He didn't leave on good terms but did take away quite a few bruises. And of course wrote the the book, "Hells Angels" How do some journalists get things so fukin wrong. RIP Hunter you helped me laugh my way through my teenage years.

He eventually got beat down...Hunter told one of them.."You're a punk for beating a woman", one of the Angels replied "You want some?" - then they started hitting him...he began to end his relationship with H.A. at that point. Sonny Bargar still called him; One of America's greatest writers ever.

He was NEVER a Hells Angel, and the childish crap Steadman is spouting on the plane is laughable, trying to terrify the 'squares' with his tales of this wildman that may just maim or kill them. Hunter worked very hard on his image and although he did indeed do some crazy things while out of his mind on drugs it is unfortunate that he became a charicature of himself. Towards the end of his life he realised he had become a bit of a joke, Hunter wanted to be like F. Scott Fitzgerald and write a great American novel and instead he ended up like P.T. Barnum with himself as the freakshow. It depressed him make no mistake but it sold and he settled for that.

@MrDoubtfulguest 12 лет назад

@13thfloor18 I read the novel in 1975. The movie kept most scenes intact, and Mr. Depp was astonishing, but the pacing was all wrong. Many words are ITALICIZED in the book, which gives it a speed/booze feel in addition to a psychedelic one. In the movie, everyone seems like they are on tranquilizers. This is the fault of the director, Terry Gilliam, whose films are invariably glacially paced. And how they could leave out the song "Sympathy for the Devil" is beyond comprehension.

@xxedgecumberveggietaleslma9874 6 лет назад

I have no legs I have no legs that was a rumor from the 1960’s and it was used against hunter when he made books about the government,so the government tried to make him look bad by saying he did “satanic rituals” and such but it was all a lie,take it with a grain of salt because I don’t have the “agents” “locations” and “units” on the top of my head but I know it wasn’t true ,plus he would’ve surely been investigated which if he was I doubt it would just go unnoticed in the media

@theonlyantony 2 года назад

More sensationalist codswallop! They just wanted to portray him a certain way - as this crazy guy but his writing, his polemicist in his political tracts and his reporting are unique and he shouldn’t be treated as a freak, which is what everyone used to try to do - they shoulda taken him seriously you know they look for the salient outrageous law bending stuff and then project that onto the backs of our eyes -utter bollocks and Steadman should know better. The introductory appraisal is again littered with tabloidy non-sequiturs and neon drivel. Bums on seats glue
