Chenault

In the book, Chenault is the fiancee of Yeamon, not Sanderson?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.196.41.196 (talk) 10:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC) Not even his fiancée, just his girl - I seriously hope this is just a mistyping or a joke, if not then it means there is a great disturbance in the force around the movie.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.180.64.42 (talk) 12:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i was thinking the same thing!! sanderson and fritz yeamon are very different characters! can anyone shed any light on this? have sanderson and yeamon been blended together or is the source for that "fact" just bad journalism?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.60.202 (talk) 15:27, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

the character of Yeamon was dropped for the film version of the story. there were rumours about hunter s thompson saying ge rid of him but i dont know exactly why. it was a bad choice, because yeamon was one of the best characters —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.69.70.71 (talk) 22:31, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought Chenault was just Yeamon's girlfriend. Why on earth did they drop Yeamon?!! He is one of the main supporting characters and a HUGE part of the story! Disappointing =..( 24.115.1.69 (talk) 16:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Year Written

Thompson didn't travel to Puerto Rico till 1960. He wrote the book upon returning to the states during an 8 month period in 1961. Check his biography for confirmation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.81.145.210 (talk) 16:41, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hunter's Letter to producers of the movie

I can't believe this wasn't even mentioned on the page about the movie. Hunter wrote a letter to the then production executive who was involved with the movie.
