Later, they attend a District Attorney's convention on narcotics. They are joined by photographer Lacerda (Craig Bierko). They're on their way to cover the Mint 400 motorcycle race in Las Vegas. They pick up a hitchhiker (Tobey Maguire) but he runs away screaming. Gonzo (Benicio del Toro) are on a drug-fueled road trip in the American west. Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his 'attorney' Dr.

There are rooms full of lizards and an overwhelming number of cameos from the likes of Gary Busey, Tim Thomerson, and Harry Dean Stanton, all of them playing generally offbeat, unusual, or just plain odd characters. The entire running time consists of Depp hallucinating and generally acting spaced out as ordinary, everyday situations become hectic fights for survival. Eventually they make the trip to Las Vegas, where things really kick off. It's a plot less comedy that sees Depp and his companion Benicio del Toro travelling around the Nevada desert in their car which is filled to the brim with drugs and alcohol. Despite the presence of former Python Terry Gilliam, who's directed some films I love like BRAZIL, FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS is a real mess of a movie. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the drug culture and I'm not a fan of Johnny Depp either, so I predisposed to hate this movie.
