I don't think he directed or produced the movie. It wasn't a blockbuster. I think you missed the point of the book.. try reading it again.
I think you are the one missing the point. The book and the movie are two completely different entities. The book is a good read, essential HST - really one of his only three "Must Read" books along with FaLiLV and Rum Diary. The movie is terrible. Actually, I think Bill Murray does a decent job of transcribing Thompson to the screen... but if you think that WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM is a good movie, then I think you are missing the point.
