Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Terry Gilliam
Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Cameron Diaz, Christina Ricci, Ellen Barkin, Johnny Depp, Michael Lee Gogin, Tobey Maguire
Duke and Dr. Gonzo go on a drug-fueled bender through the city which neither of them can remember. No articles are ever actually written. Dr. Gonzo catches a plane away from Vegas. Duke gets all introspective about Tim Leary for a while, then starts driving back to Los Angeles to be just another freak in the freak nation.
Lee
Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning, when Duke stops the car and walks to the trunk, the boom mic operator is reflected in the side of the car.
Raoul Duke: There was only one road back to L.A. - U.S. Interstate 15. Just a flat-out high speed burn through Baker and Barstow and Berdoo. Then onto the Hollywood Freeway, and straight on into frantic oblivion. Safety. Obscurity. Just another freak, in the freak kingdom.
Trivia: Photos of Hunter Thompson in the 70s confirm just how accurate Johnny Depp's costume is. This is because Hunter Thompson actually lent him some of his old clothes for the part.
