    I just recently saw this movie for the first time and I fell in love. Beneicio del Toro is a sexy man, even when he plays a slightly overweight "Samoan" lawyer. Johnny Depp, many props as usual. Although I think Raoul and Jack Sparrow are very similar guys.

    I love this movie so much! It's chock full of great quotes. I hope I'm not repeating too many of them!

    Raoul:You're not racist are you?
    Hitchhiker: Hell no!
    Raoul: Good, because despite his racial handicap...

    Dr. Gonzo: Just admiring the shape of your skull

    Raoul: Could they hear me? Was I talking?

    So many more but I've got to find my book!

    Peace and love

    Raoul Duke: A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip.


    Raoul Duke: Bazooko's Circus is what the world would be doing every Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war. This was the Sixth Reich.


    Raoul Duke: With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he'll never know.

    This movie is insanely great. You don't fully understand it until you watch it while you are EXTREMELY high.

    "of course the gentleman has a major credit card! do you realize who the fuck you're talking to?"


    "i always test the transmission that way."

    "you want me to throw this in the tub when white rabbit peaks?"

    "men in red woolen shirts were getting kicks he'd never dreamed about.."

    "as your attorney, i advise you to start drinking heavily."

    "lucy paints pictures of barbara streisand!"

    and of course the quote in my signature

    the movie is full of so many great quotes

    the "wave speech" is amazing

    "after years of dealing with drug people i learned, you can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug"

    so true

    Raoul Duke: "There's a uh, big machine in the sky, some kind of, I dunno, electric snake, coming straight at us."
    Dr. Gonzo: "Shoot it."
    Raoul Duke: "Not yet, I want to study its habits."

    Yeah, pretty brilliant. Reading the descriptions of the drug use though... I had never read anything like it before. It was well beyond hedonism and into what seemed to me essentially like masochism. You know?

    Johnny and Benicio Del Toro did great in the movie.

    shit, if fear and loathing is boring then i'd hate to see an exciting movie. i guess your eyeballs have to be exploding to get to that level of intensity.


    ...........extremely menacing vibrations were all around us...........

    Ahh god, what a brilliant film, there are so many great lines in it, most have them have been said. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is when Depps at the DEA meeting with all the cops and theirs a drug education film playing and the narrator says

    "Know your dope fiend. You will not be able to see his eyes because of tea shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim"

    Actually another of my favourites that the other people that no ones posted yet has to be this one, very poingnant in a film thats essentially a fucked up comedy, and one that some of the people that post on this site, particuarly on the Psychedelic forum, should really commit to memory,

    "We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled the sixties. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expantion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hooked realities that were lying in wait for the people that took him seriously.....All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for 3 bucks a hit. But thier loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life'style he helped create........a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understand the old mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that sombody...or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel."

    i like the bit where the cop was late at checking in & the clerk said

    "I ve been fucked around by a fairly cross-section of mean tempered rule crazy fuzzy little shit heads, so now its my turn .... Fuck you officer I'm in charge & I'm telling you I don't have a room " Classic !!!!
