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.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the film when they pick up the hitchhiker, after they drive off, the car is still in park. (00:04:07)
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: Johnny Depp passes an old bald man with hippy glasses sitting down surrounded by women - this is author Hunter S. Thompson himself in a cameo.
