In the book, Hunter S. Thompson listens to "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones. The rights to play it in the film were too expensive for the production's budget.
According to Johnny Depp, the gorilla statue outside the Bazooko Circus now "lives" in his front yard.
According to Terry Gilliam's commentary on the Criterion Collection DVD, at the beginning of the movie when they stop on the side of the road after Duke starts seeing bats and wants Gonzo to drive, a strange looking cactus is in the background. It was designed by Ralph Steadman and appears many times in the background of various scenes. Gilliam complained of having to lug it around wherever they went.
Hunter S. Thompson shaved Johnny Depp's head. They were in Thompson's kitchen, Depp refused to look in a mirror, and Thompson wore a miner's hard hat.
Terry Gilliam took over as director after Alex Cox left the picture due to creative differences. Gilliam re-wrote the entire screenplay in a few days to fit his unique creative vision and style, while staying true to Hunter S. Thompson's writings.
"[watching Dr. Gonzo leave] Raoul Duke: There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
"Dr. Gonzo: Let's give the boy a lift. Raoul Duke: What? No. We can't stop here. This is bat country."
