I found this great short video of Hunter Thompson doing an interview with members of the Hell’s Angels. This is from after the book was published, when the Angels were more than a little mad at him. They end up looking like savage brutes here, as they argue with Hunter over whether the level to which one of them was beating his woman was acceptable.
It’s been a couple months since Tony Scott (Ridley Scott’s less-talented brother) revealed his plans to produce a movie on Hunter S. Thompson’s first published novel, Hell’s Angels. The script writer is the same guy who did “Traffic”, so this thing has potential. Looks like Hunter S. Thompson nostalgia is making its way to Hollywood.
I came across this video on Google Video (I thought Google had shut that site down and converted everything to YouTube). It’s an early 1980’s documentary made about Hunter S. Thompson as he was doing his college speaking tour. Very interesting stuff, although the quality of the video and audio leaves something to be desired. I just hope the embed code still works:
