"I always get very tense in those (test screenings), because I'm ready to fight . I know the pressure from the studio is,' somebody didn't like that, change it!"' The filmmaker said that it was important to him that Thompson like the film and recalls the writer's reaction at a screening, "Hunter watched it for the first time at the premiere and he was making all this fucking noise! Apparently it all came flooding back to him, he was reliving the whole trip! He was yelling out and jumping on his seat like it was a roller coaster, ducking and diving, shouting' SHIT! LOOK OUT! GODDAMN BATS!' That was fantastic--if he thought we'd captured it, then we must have done it!" Thompson himself stated, "Yeah, I liked it . It's not my show, but I appreciated it . Depp did a hell of a job . His narration is what really held the film together, I think . If you hadn't had that, it would have just been a series of wild scenes ." </P> <P> Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas debuted at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival and Gilliam said, "I'm curious about the reaction...If I'm going to be disappointed, it's because it doesn't make any waves, that people are not outraged ." </P> <P> By the time Fear and Loathing was released as a Criterion Collection DVD in 2003, Thompson showed his approval of the Gilliam version by recording a full - length audio commentary for the film and participating in several DVD special features . </P>
