Where is rango playing in las vegas

With that in mind, it is pretty impressive that one of his biggest paycheques was for his work in Rango. In addition to paying its star an awful lot of money, Rango should be remembered for being a really good movie. After all, Pixar movies are accessible enough to make kids laugh while also containing jokes that fly over little heads and hits the mark for adults perfectly.

Fortunately for fans of Rango , this Paramount Pictures film did a remarkably good job including elements just for adults. Evidently made by big fans of the genre, Rango includes several references to western films that child viewers would never understand. After all, the movies they were referencing were released decades before those kids were born. On top of the Western movies that Rango tipped its hat to, the movie also paid tribute to one of the most bizarre and beloved movies Johnny Depp starred in.

Early on in Rango , the titular lizard is thrown from his aquarium and eventually finds itself on the windshield of a convertible. For Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas fans, it is instantly clear that the driver of the car is the character Depp played in that mindbending film. From the looks of the trailers, we're impressed. The special effects company that George Lucas created for " Star Wars " after the special effects department at 20th Century Fox was shut down has worked on many films over its 35 year lifespan, but somehow it hasn't made a fully animated film.

Until now, that is, which explains why the animation looks so darn good. And if the story stands up as well, Pixar might have another rival on its hands. And knowing Verbinski's great relationship with Depp through the " Pirates of the Caribbean " films, we're sure the chemistry the two of them have will be enough to carry this movie through any potential mishaps.

This shouldn't be too much of a surprise based on the look of Rango, but Johnny Depp has supposedly based the character he created in the film on the late gonzo writer Hunter S. Well, also for rude humor, language and action, but it is a bit surprising to learn that the film is rated PG for smoking too.

When Rango asks him what he wants, he even echoes a classic line from the film. The future! From the classic Shane? One of the first battles the lizard fights — and wins accidentally — is with a hawk who swoops down to terrorize the critters of Dirt. This is a new western of sorts, as opposed to a tale from the old west — though it is just as wild, if not more so.

When Rango finds himself launched from the safety of his aquarium during a road-trip, he bounces around the desert highway, gets his head stuck in a smile-face antenna ball, and splats on the windshield of The Great Red Shark convertible driven by two familiar disheveled figures — a wasted Dr.
