Line 37:
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Pay attention to Raoul's behaviour when Gonzo's talking to other people, because you're going to laugh. One in particular, when the both of them wants to see a Debbie Reynold's show, Gonzo just bust out the locked entrance and take out the security belt, starting to talk with the doorman. Raoul's just acting out, high on a bunch of drugs, while playing with the security belt, even struggling with a lady that wanted to take the belt out.
* [[Genre Busting]]: This is a movie that must be seen at least twice, since the first time you watch it, you will not understand what kind of movie you just watched. Was it a comedy? Was it a political movie? Was it meant to be serious? Was it meant to just make you laugh? What the hell happened in the last third of the movie?
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]] (The movie features cameos from [[Christina Ricci]], Cameron Diaz, and [[Gary Busey]], among others.)
** That hitchhiker Dr. Gonzo wanted to kill in a drug-induced paranoia? An unknown (and long-haired blond) Tobey Maguire!
** In the circus, one of the barkers (offering a chance to appear on a 200-foot tall screen somewhere outside) is Penn Jillette.
** The doctor explaining that dope fiends' pants will be encrusted with semen is [[Sesame Street|Mr. Noodle]].
** The hippie Duke meets in the bathroom of the Matrix was played by Flea, bassist for the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]], nearly unidentifiable under his beard and wig.
** Lyle Lovett introduces Duke to acid. ({{smallcaps|"Anybody want some L... S... D??"}})
** [[NCIS|Gibbs]] is a reporter covering the Mint 400.
** [[Law and Order Special Victims Unit|Stabler]] is the very flamboyant clerk at the Flamingo Hotel.
** [[24|President Logan]] is the head clerk at the Mint Hotel.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: "He offered me human blood as payment, said it would take me higher than cocaine. But I settled for some of this instead."
* [[Immune to Drugs]] (Duke and Gonzo take enough drugs to kill the Third Marines, though this doesn't stop the effect they experience.)
