What is it about? And are you referring to Johnny Depp? He is a good actor, but I have not heard of this film.

yeah it is Johnny Depp and its one of his best films in my opinion. here's kind of a synopsis of the movie : We were somewhere on the edge of the desert when the drugs took hold," explains the stoned and wild-eyed journalist Raoul Duke. He speeds along like an out-of-control missile in the opening to FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, which is based on the famous semi-autobiographical novel by Hunter Thompson about his gonzo journalism. Set in a stoned-out 1971, the movie's central character, Raoul, and his sidekick and attorney, Dr. Gonzo, spend the entire picture ripped, stoned, plastered, wasted, you name it. With a cornucopia of drugs in the trunk of their rented Cadillac convertible, they are on their way to Las Vegas, where they will cover the national convention of District Attorneys, among other things. Mainly they are going so they can party using every illegal substance you've ever heard of and some you haven't.

"I feel a bit light headed, maybe you should drive" Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us. And the sky was filled with, what looked like huge vampire bats. All soaring and screeching and swooping around the car. And suddenly you hear a voice cry out "Holy Jesus! What are these god damn animals?"
"Did you say something"
"Never mind." No point in mentioning these bats, I thought. The poor bastard would see them soon enough.

"Those bastards have changed the lock!"
"Already?!?"
There are so many great quotes from this movie. I use them every day.

Del Toro is all whacked out on drugs and starts to freak out.
"Look, there's two women f**king a polar bear!"
Then Del Toro says "Don't tell me those things. Not now, man."

i also thought it was funny that they put a merry-go-round around a bar, just what a drunk person needs to face, a moving floor

I personally find it Gilliam's weakest movie. It's not bad and Depp is excellent as always.... but the movie just doesn't do it for me. The weird thing about it is that halfway the movie you begin to feel stoned yourself, that is quite an accomplishment.
So, not Gilliam's best, but interesting nonetheless.

i liked the movie because it reminded me of my younger days.... that's what happens when you push you mind out to the farthest places in your sub-conscience... and special k (not the cereal) will make you walk like they did in the movie
