The top mistakes in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas http://www.moviemistakes.com/film1483 en Sat, 04 Oct 2008 05:55:08 +0000 13139 The movie is set in the early 70's (1971?), but during the start of the motorcycle race several of the bikes are obviously early 90's Honda CR's and Suzuki RM's. You can tell this from the disc brakes on the front wheels of the bikes and the 90's style plastic fenders and bike colors. Bikes in the 70's generally had metal fenders and definitely no front disc brakes. 16749 In the beginning of the film when they pick up the hitchhiker, after they drive off, the car is still in park. 21425 When the duo first enter the Vortex (the indoor circus place) they stop to look at themselves in the wobbly mirrors. The mirror also reflects the cameraman filming the scene. The image is distorted and upside down but he's definitely there and becomes clearer as the shot progresses. 138673 When Duke talks about ether at the beginning, the camera crane is reflected in the car when he says, "And I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon." 127280 When Depp & Del Torro go out into the hallway to discuss what to do about Lucy, they are in room 2075. When they recruit the maid to work for them, they are in room 2073.
