Thompson fan as well then the movie might be a good purchase. Shop around though. I've seen the Criterion version at places like Best Buy for significantly less than $40 (but still above $30). The Criterion version has more extras than the original Universal disc. Also, the Criterion version sports DD 5.1 and DTS 5.1 audio tracks. The Universal disc very strangely only has DD 2.0 (in spite of the fact it was released in theaters quad format SR/SRD/DTS/SDDS).  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-15-2004 05:46 PM                     The Criterion Edition of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" has been on the market since Feb of 2003. It has a newer transfer and a DTS track besides a Dolby Digital track, director's commentary, interviews and a lot more stuff. It's worth the $40.00, if you like Hunter S. Thompson.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 09-16-2004 12:25 AM                     Just adding my 2 cents. It's worth the money The 2nd disc is loaded with features.  |  IP: Logged
