The Blu - ray debut features all the supplements of that release: three commentary tracks (one by director Terry Gilliam, one by stars Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro, and one by producer Laila Nabulsi and author Hunter S. Thompson), deleted scenes with commentary by Gilliam, the 1978 BBC «Omnibus» documentary «Fear and Loathing on the Road to Hollywood» (with Hunter S. Thompson and artist Ralph Steadman), the ten - minute featurette «Hunter Goes to Hollywood,» an audio documentary on the
controversy over the screenplay credit, a survey of the marketing campaign, selections from the correspondence between Johnny Depp and Hunter S. Thompson (read on
camera by Depp), an excerpt from the 1996 audio CD «Fear and Loathing» starring Maury Chaykin, Jim Jarmusch, Harry Dean Stanton, and Glenne Headly, background notes on Oscar Zeta Acosta (the real life activist and attorney who inspired the character of Dr. Gonzo), and galleries of storyboards, stills, and Ralph Steadman art.
