Not Raoul Duke, but Dr. Hunter S. Thompson in “Where the Buffalo Roam”
Bill Murray plays Hunter S. Thompson in this 1980 masterpiece of a film, based on his book on the 1970’s Nixon campaign. Co-star Peter Boyle puts in a great performance as Thompsons lawyer & somewhat insane Mr. Carl Lazlo, Esq.
This movie came nowhere near the popularity of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, however it holds its own, as the very first motion picture based on the life of Hunter S. Thompson, minus his alter ego Raoul Duke. I suggest any of you new fans just getting into Gonzo grab this off netflix immediately. If you’re from another country with no video stores, i do believe there are open signups at demonoid.com on fridays, where you can find a downloadable copy of the film.
Enjoy the movie, its seriously some of Bill Murray’s best work to date (outside of Caddyshack of course).
Until tomorrow, Sleep tight boys & girls….
