Not what I expected, or hoped for really., 19 January 2006
7/10
Author: cmomo from Scotland

This documentary featuring the good Dr.Thompson is the third to come from renowned film maker Wayne Ewing. His second was entitled "Breakfast With Hunter" and was far more interesting and informative than "When I Die". "When I Die" focuses on the extravagant arrangements surrounding Hunters funeral, from the 153-foot-high sculpture of the Gonzo "fist" logo, to the aircraft friendly pyrotechnics that blast Hunters Ashes over the surrounding landscape. Unfortunately there is very little footage of Hunter himself, or any of his other famous pals in attendance(Jack Nicholson was a close friend and Johnny Depp being the one footing the reputed 2-3 million dollar bill for the event). The soundtrack is first class however, and features the best of Warren Zevon, Bob Dylan, Lyle Lovett, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Norman Greenbaum. Well worth the watch, especially the credits.
