Raoul Duke (Hunter S. Thompson, played by Johnny Depp) is frequently seen using a red, first generation IBM Selectric that he treats more like a portable typewriter than the large, fifty-pound machine it is (like the real Hunter S. Thompson). It is badly damaged and vandalized by the end of the film.
