Continuity mistake: As Raoul is being chased by the highway cop, the camera switches views between the rear view mirror and looking through the back window. The line in the middle of the road changes unevenly between passing and no passing lanes.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)
Directed by: Terry Gilliam
Starring: Johnny Depp, Cameron Diaz, Christina Ricci, Benicio Del Toro, Ellen Barkin, Tobey Maguire, Michael Lee Gogin
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.
Factual error: The movie is set in 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.
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.
Trivia: In the flashback where Johnny Depp takes LSD in the bathroom of a 60's bar, the hippy who starts to lick the LSD he dropped is Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea.
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.
Dr. Gonzo: You drive. You drive. I think there's something wrong with me.
Dr. Gonzo: As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown bottle in my shaving kit. You won't need much, just a tiny taste.
Dr. Gonzo: I hate to say this, but this place is getting to me. I think I'm getting the Fear.
