The scene where she walks backward up the stairs crying and swinging a bat at Jack was shot at least 35 times. Some report it was shot as many as 127 times.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Filming Locations
'We can't stop here, this is bat country!'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is one of the most famous road trips. Ever. Sure the drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas is no more than five hours, but Dr. Gonzo (Benicio Del Toro) and Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) had to drive through ‘bat country' to reach their destination in Nevada and chronicle the Mint 400 desert bike race for Sports Illustrated…
On its way, the psychedelic duo 'visits' iconic landmarks such as the Circus Circus and the Flamingo Casino in Las Vegas, as well as Red Rock Canyon (Nevada). Oh and let's not forget in our itinerary Jean Dry Lake Bed, where the legendary Mint 400 off-road race was filmed (but guys, the race was definitely under way!).
