"Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride: Hunter S. Thompson On Film is a personal, intimate look at Thompson with a special emphasis on his Hollywood relationships. It captures the legacy and "gonzo" spirit of one of this century's most notorious figures - a man whose life and work regularly intersected with some of the biggest names in the world of film, politics, journalism and sports. The documentary features interviews with Hunter's inner circle of family and friends, but the thrust of the film is focused on the manner in which his life often overlapped with numerous Hollywood celebrities who became his close friends, such as Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas); Bill Murray (Where the Buffalo Roam); Sean Penn, John Cusack, Hunter's wife Anita, son Juan, former Senators George McGovern and Gary Hart, Tom Wolfe, William F. Buckley, Gary Busey, Harry Dean Stanton, Ralph Steadman and others.

| User ReviewRoni MVery well done doc. about Hunter S, I'm not sure you could do it any better! He really speaks the same way Depp and Bill Murray protrayed him in "Where The Buffalo Roam" and "Fear and Loathing in LV). Too bad he had to suck on a shotgun and end his brilliance. Hail to Hunter S., there will never be another like him! |
| User ReviewDonna SGreat documentary on a man that lived the stories he wrote. Some have become movies "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "Rum Diary" both starring Johnny Depp. Hunter was one of a kind. RIP |
