As in any Terry Gilliam commentary, you can expect a lot of laughs and insight going into it. This commentary did not disappoint.

Filled with fun facts about the film, the commentary provides a lot of insight into all of Gilliam's subtle details, as well as being a lot of fun to listen to.

If you're a fan of the movie, and especially a fan of Gilliam, this commentary is definately worth while.

Terry Gilliam is absolutely on fire in this one! He is obviously in love with the film and he talks almost non stop from the opening until he is cut off when the end credits finish. He talks about everything in this movie and if you're not in love with the movie before you listen to Gilliam, you'll definitely fall in love afterwards. He nails all the moments, the actor's performances, Thompsons influence, the fantastic visual style and how the story is often misunderstood. Highly recommendable!

Terry Gilliam's commentary is predictably brilliant and mad, better than the movie in fact.

Gilliam talks about every aspect of making this odd film. Very funny and Terry gives a crap load of info. He clearly loves this movie and is very proud of it. The best part was at the end when he reads a letter he send to Hunter Thompson right after filming the movie, to convince him to see it. He then reads the letter Hunter wrote him back after seeing the movie for the first time, which Hunter tells him how much he like the movie(in his famous gonzo style). The letter is very honest, toughing, and funny. 100% Hunter. If you’re a fan of Hunter’s work it’ll make you wish he was still with us.

Gilliam, ever so amused by his film, comes off as a bit zany, which suits the movie well. He talks mostly about each specific scene we’re watching, discussing the unpredictability’s of his actors, namely Del Toro. But, indeed, a very amusing track, worth checking out.

Brilliant! Gilliam in his manic mode, speaks more than anyone else can speak in 118 minutes! Good stuff too. Considering he must have recorded this commentary alone, he surely laughs a lot :)

This is a real coup for Criterion as actors Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro (who had never done a commentary before), with producer Laila Nabulsi, candidly discuss working on the film. Nabulsi wanted Ralph Steadman to create the opening credits. This is a very informative track and it is just great to hear two awesome actors like Depp and Del Toro talk about this movie.

These 3 people (who were recorded separately) talk about the experience of making this movie and knowing Hunter Thompson. All three are very honest about what they thing about the movie, about what works and doesn’t work. They also talk about their relationships with the good Doctor himself and their thoughts on the book and its meaning and impact. Laila talks mostly about how she got the movie made after working on it for about 15 years. Depp and Del Toro talk about how they research their characters, with Depp talking about the months he lived with Hunter to study him. If you like the book you’ll probably like this track more than Gilliam’s, with is more about the filmmaking process.

The man himself, author Hunter S. Thompson contributes the strangest, funniest commentary I have ever heard as a roomful of people try in vain to keep him on topic as he talks about anything that comes into his mind. Very strange but fans of HST will totally dig it.

A pure Gonzo commentary. Hunter is...well, Hunter! He talks about what ever pops in his head and he is just crazy here. You'll never know what he'll say next on this commentary. If you know nothing about Hunter you won't "get" this commentary. This is for Hunter fans only.
