Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas #1
(By: FunSizeKristy)
P L O T:
The big-screen version of Hunter S. Thompson's seminal psychedelic classic about
his road trip across Western America as he and his large Samoan lawyer searched
desperately for the "American dream"... they were helped in large part by the
huge amount of drugs and alcohol kept in their convertible, The Red Shark.
Written by Laurence Mixson
Raoul duke is a drug addled gonzo journalist. he is sent to cover a motorcycle
race as an article for his magazine, but then the situation escalates into him and
his psychotic attorney searching for the American dream, aided by almost every
drug known to man in the boot of his red convertible. Written by palmtreehead
An adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's novel of the same name. The film details
a whacky search for the "American Dream", by Thompson and his crazed,
Samoan lawyer. Fueled by the massive amount of drugs they purchased with an
advance from a magazine to cover a sporting event in Vegas; they set out in the
Red Shark. Encountering police, reporters, gamblers, racers, and hitchhikers; they
search for some undefinable thing know only as the "American Dream" and find
fear, loathing and hilarious adventures into the dementia of the modern American
West.
