Trama
Lo sapevi?
- QuizIn the book, Hunter S. Thompson listens to "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones. The rights to play it in the film were too expensive for the production's budget.
- BlooperDr. Gonzo spoofs the "Richard Nixon salute" when he gets on the plane at the end of the movie. Nixon didn't resign or do the classic "salute" until 1974.
- Citazioni
[watching Dr. Gonzo leave]
Raoul Duke: 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.
- Curiosità sui creditiThe Ralph Steadman drawings from the book are put in with the credits, along with the Gonzo & Duke in the Red Shark picture that takes up the whole screen at the end.
- Versioni alternativeThe US-label Criterion ordered director Terry Gilliam and author Hunter S. Thompson to create a special Director's Cut. This cut contains a scene that otherwise was only to be seen in part and only in the cinematic trailer. It shows events in retrospect that the main character Raoul Duke remembers fragmentarily when listening to the recorded conversations on his cassette recorder. Furthermore there is a slightly longer version of another scene shortly before that. There is a bit more conversation going on between Raoul and Dr. Gonzo when they want to leave because of the trouble the kidnapped Lucy (Christina Ricci) is causing. Director's Cut's Pal running time is 144.1 seconds (2:24 minutes) longer because of two extended scenes.--Quoted from movie-censorship.com
