HAROLD & KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY trailer looks funny!
Hey Folks, Harry here - you know it's a slow news day when I'm posting trailer stories - but ya know - as we begin to look towards the new year ahead of us - if you find a trailer for something that turns you on... send it to me - till the industry gets its shit together about a week into next year... it'll be slow as shit.
That said - I was a big fan of the original HAROLD AND KUMAR movie - and this seems broader and more even funnier. And right now if we all want to laugh... we think Guantanamo, right? Well, maybe I'm alone... Here - see if you laugh...
Harold&Kumar reside here!

Awesome!

Gotta love the "What Would NPH Do" campaign! The poster with NPH on a unicorn is amazing!
I wonder if the movie is going to mention his homosexuality. -

Looks like Kal Penn has more lines here than in Superman Returns
by jugdish
I hope people see this- the first movie was great but it made nothing at the Box Office
-
If you want of course http://tinyurl.com/3xz8gg

Damn, the very fact they have a scene in crawford texas smoking weed with the decider is just awesome.
-
than the regular one.
-
definitely going to see this movie. i was hoping for a sequel right after i got done watching the first movie, this is gonna be great!
-
Looks like it belongs right on NBC's highly touted hi-def lineup. Like the Carson Daly show.
-
seriously...he gets to show up, play himself, steal every scene he is in, and walk away looking cooler than when he did before...
-
How about the Peter Berg saying Dune is a "done deal"? or Kristin Kreuk signing on to play Chun-Li in the new Street Fighter? I got that by turning on the telly...
-
I'll see it-- either the theaters or DVD. Should be funny. Racial humor can't be beat when done tastfully
-
Nuff said. I smoke too much herb
-
that have the IQ of an unsharpened pencil. I'm sure the second will hold itself to the same level of intellect.
-
Sure to be a hit with the Family Guy and Kevin Smith fans!
-
stupid fucks
-
Seriously? It looks fucking hilarious but that's because I'm stoned.
-
It's about time someone made a broad comedy about international terrorism and our governments gung-ho inept response to it. I'm serious. It's about damn time.
-
Awww, another browncoat jealous that Joss Whedon's sense of "homor" doesn't get the appreciation of Kevin Smith and Family Guy. That's cute.
-
and i though the first movie was funny and stupid and slacker and brilliant all at the same time.
thinking it was just a pot movie, i avoided it in the theaters, but caught it on TV and thought, eh, what the fuck else do ihave to do right now....i started watching it somewhere in the middle, and was surprised how many times i laughed out loud...i hardly ever do that. the cheesy as hell cheetah effects...were great because even they knew they were bad...most of all, i found it SO god damn refreshing to see two fleshed out funny protagonists of another race than white frat boys. they were great characters...without succumbing to stereotypes alone.
so, i may go see this one in the big, dark room.then again, the theater will probably stink like weed. -
- playing 'himself'...brilliant. that subplot was something my friends and i always brainstormed about shooting but never had been able to.
H&K whitecastle has become one of those movies that when it comes on I leave it on in the background while i do other things around the house. that's a level of respect for me. -
aw man count me in
-
Harry, there are children reading this site. The least you could do is use proper fucking grammar.
-
Count me in. I love racial humor.
-
But we don't come for that. We come for vulgar allusions to chocalate covered pussy juice.

Boneheads, stay put! Nice weather, 3 ethnically sensitive meals, daily prayer gatherings AND free, free, FREE! Club Gitmo Rocks!

I don't know why I named my post after you either.
-
Let's face it...the Kahootz controversy is eye opening. But all the asian kid from American Pie did is re-welcome, "M.I.L.F" to generation 2YK.
-
I'm already laughing just thinkning about some of the trailer scenes...hope the movie keeps it up.
-
And so will this one judging by the trailer...I can't believe they even bothered.
-
Guantanamo + teen hijinks = box office gold. [movie exec laughs and looks out window]
-
I thought it tanked at the box office. And I am pretty sure Kal Penn had no lines at all in Superman.
-
What the fuck, Harry? The first one was somewhat of a surprise and was actually kind of funny in a check-your-brain-at-the-door kind of way, but dammit this does not look funny at all. You shitting me, Harold?
-
You said "more even funnier." WTF, my friend? That shit would be forgivable if you weren't, you know, a professional writer. But then I guess that's what makes the whole incident more even funnier.
-
I thought it'd be some dumb stoner movie, but it was incredibly intelligent, well structured, and kind hearted without being awful. This trailer looks great, although actually "having Bush" in it seems kind of dumb. I think the title should have stuck to "Go to Amsterdam" as that explains the simple thing they're supposed to do, as opposed to the craziness that happens in the first one. The first movie isn't called "Harold and Kumar Ride a Cheetah, Fight a Raccoon, Get Chased by Cops"
-
yeah well here's the rarated trailer... mind the spaces... http://youtube.com/ watch?v=8w3ZxcT2Lhk&feature=related

I hate these kinds of movies, but this one had me chuckling.

Wasnt Harold and Kumar about the marijuana? What happened to that/!?!??!
-
I keep thinking back to the scene on Air Force One in Transformers with Dubya. "Can you wrangle me up some ding-dongs?" My God, that was so unfunny and awkward that it sent my colon into spasms.
-
I admire the ballsiness of the title, and the trailer is decent. Although, I'm a bit wary of this apparent franchise after the first one. The first one sucks, it really does. It seemed like it was written by two 40 year olds who were self-conciously trying to figure out what raunchy humour is, instead of actually knowing what it is. Like, the whole concept of TRYING to be a modern-day Cheech and Chong is totally ass backwards, since the essence of Cheech and Chong is that their personas seem so natural. The whole Neil Patrick Harris thing? What the hell is that? I bet the writers had a line in their first draft that said "insert random, ironic celebrity here". Was Ralph Macchio unavailable? Did Corey Haim not return their calls? Plus the Cheetah scene was one of the sheer dumbest sequences in any movie, ever, and the notion that White Castle would still be serving sliders in the morning, though a minor quibble, pissed me off (probably because it came at the end of a movie that I hadn't enjoyed). So yeah, lots of room for improvement with this sequel.

I have never seen so many hyphens and ellipses in all my life.
by pip1345
Harry, you're so annoying! Were those pauses? If so, they were unnecessary. I'd rather burn for all eternity than be you, Harry. Just...FYI.
-
Harold and Kumar and white and Castle was on TBT 2-Mite; I gave it most of 45 minutes and them bailed, I couldn't stand it.It is worth commending them for doing a Cheech and Chong movie without white leads... except that C&C were Maxican and a half-Chinese guy.Funny power of the press careful what you say anectote: Cheech and Chong went on a talk show and Cheech Marin casually said to Tommy Chong "Did you ever notice that your daughter looks more like me?" Cheech and Chong broke up about a month later and Rae Dawn Chong's career tanked. Because of that one offhanded callous remark Cheech had to be in "Tin Cup" and "Nash Bridges" and Chong had to do "that '70s show" and hard time for selling bongs on the internet or something.Screw White Castle, real oily peanut butter on whole wheat toast with peanuts and craisins. Try it.The clip did seem amusing, maybe that one I'll watch on TNT in 2011.
-
That comment alone was worth the rental on the original. Plus, I am easy to please. Count me in.
-
Harold and Kumar should bring it up, and all NPH should say is: "It's just an act! Girls love gay guys. Do you know how much pussy I get from girls that think I'm gay??"
-
excellent, I love a good racial stereotype movie.
-
loved the first movie, was great to see a comedy with asians in the title roles. THis was it was actually hilarious, both these guys have great on screen chemistry. john cho has a talent for comedy, he was excellent in kitchen confidential ( DAMM YOU FOX!) Kal has been excellent of late in House, and enjoyed his performance in the namesake. FOr the haters.. you dont like it *meh* who gives a fuck.
-
But I liked Eurotrip. They're probably just jealous that it beat them to the Amsterdam angle.
-
You don't have to be white to be a frat-boy. Just sayin'. Oh, and H&K2 looks pretty funny.

I finally saw this Superbad picture you all like so much
by spandau belly
It was pretty funny, it kinda reminded me of Harold & Kumar with a little Dazed & Confused. Good times.
-
Here's why Corey Haim didn't return any phone calls:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnazkl-T01Q
Wow, just, wow. -
...when they get picked up at the airport...
-
yeah i know, but this genre of movie is usually centered around the highjinx of white frat boys- am i right?
the thing i like most about H&K:WC was the banter between the two was goofy but natural, and who hasn't had a night where all you want to do is one simple thing, and every goddamned stupid little obstacle gets in the way?
hell, actually, that's everyday.it was just a nice change frim the tired comedt premises of 'we have to find a way to raise 50,000 or grandma gets kicked out/the school will close/the developers take our homes/we can go to europe shit. these guys just craved a burger, and the whole movie was based on that. pretty daring, actually.
-
I too am sick of frat-people movies. I think Hollywood assumes EVERYONE went to college and therefore tailors their product accordingly. They forget about, like you said, the day-to-day shit that makes up real life. That's where H&K come in. Long live Neil Patrick Harris!
-
to appreciate a movie like this, you have to look beyond the sophomore humor -- you have to of an ethnic minority group growing up in the states. the first movie was genuinely funny but also had a lot of brain power working overtime in the background. the cultural stereotypes were all pretty much spot-on in a rather tragic way. it helps that i'm korean and my best friend is actually indian.
-
I mean, it is so funny when a woman is blown up because she didn't cover her face and she wanted to run for office: Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated Thursday in the wake of a suicide bombing that killed at least 14 of her supporters, doctors, a spokesman for her party and other officials said.
-
WTF is a "maxican" ?? is that a new kind of decepticon ? lol u may have been mocking someone else.... the movie looks great and hillarious...the first one was excellent too.......and whoever was talking about the greAT Debators, im gonna pass on that one , it looks like crap....and talking about stuff coming out online before the movie....how about the new stargate movie "ark of truth" is online already and its not supposed to be released on DVD till march....the special effects arent finished in some of the space shots and weapons effects but it is the movie and it was excellent...check it out
-
man theater in hollywood for free, thay gave us free popcorn and drinks it was awsome!!! but yeah the end of the trailer was so funny ah good times...
-
..and, of course i left it on in the background while i did design work. what timing!also, FX has been playing the hell out of AVP and will show Batman Begins's canle premiere in January....is this their way of building interest again before a new sequel? geee..y'think? also, maybe the reason H&K has been on so much.
-
stfu....please.... im gonna assume ur in ur 40s or 50s or just really love cheech and chong.....most posters in here dont know who cheech&chong were...and this is wayyy better...and it seems ur tryin to say this movie is bogus because they arent "real" potheads ? ...from lookin at post after post i really am starting to think that one or two people are posting in these rooms under 2 or more names ,because its oddly familiar, same stupidity, same cynicallness, or whatever...anyone else get that impression...and lay off harrys spelling, who cares how u spell on a website ? and yes i doubt young children visit this site as much as u regulars that sit here day in and day out and post over and over and over....yes 8yr olds have girlfriends , probably all of your girlfriends cuz u dont leave AICN....."sorry baby, i gotta post on AICN today, DrWho season 400 just got released today, i gotta defend why a sucky show like that is still relevant" "ill fuck u later"
-
cheech and chong movies were about two complete stoners who happened to get in adventures. harold and kumar was about an adventure of two guys that happened to smoke pot recreationally. i don't see it as a pot-driven movie, EVEN THOUGH the craving for white castles came from it.
like other people said, it's much more universal than that. -

You know what? This will be shit just like the 1st one was shit.
by stuntcock mike
Plain and simple.
-
wanting to eat a cheese burger?
-
a bit easier than Cheech and Chong. No comparison. 2 guys getting baked and going out looking for junk food is not the same as Cheech and Chong.
-
This actually looks alright.
-
Sure to be a hit with your mom right after she blows both Harold and Kumar. Hey, as long as she brings me my money, I'm cool with it.
-
first i watched this on the 23rd.
second, its going to be 2008 and we're still using 1997 era messages. How about with the new year, we get threaded talkbacks? -
Would only confuse folks around here- besides everyoine would be starting a new thread everytime they talk back just so they can yell "First!!"
-
Hah, the skewering of those Jackass types was the best part of the first movie, the misdirecting start was very good too. And the liberal application boobs. And Neil patrick Harris. Overall a lot funnier than you're average "pot comedy".
-
I LOVE IT! Thanks Harry! That scene with Kal Penn in that ladys dream making downed airplane motions with his hand reminds me of SOUL MAN where each family member had their own daydream with different stereotypes for C.Thomas Howells "black guy".These are the shock images that make us laugh like GROOVETUBE/TUNNELVISION/KENTUCKY-FRIED Movie did back in the day

Now we've gotta put information that matches our government issued ID to see a red-band trailer? Here's a big bag of Fuck You to the studios.

Every time someone posts a review or preview or some shit, some people get all up in the air over the spelling. Do people realize the point of this site?! It is to geek out over movies, not geek out over spelling. If you want spell checking, go to EW.com or some other boring ass reputable site. Fuuck Speeeliingk!!
Oh and this movie looks so good. I have such a soft spot in my heart for the first film. -
I'm an intelligent, educated, full grown man. I should find this vile and sad, and yet, I'm pretty sure this is going to be fucking hilarious. It's a sorry statement on our culture when the only real comment you'll find on some of the more sensitive contemporary issues will come in the form of a college pot and tits movie. I was laughing through the whole trailer.
-
I didn't even chuckle at this. Am I getting old?
Frankly, if a movie doesn't have poon-fangs, I'm not going. -

you aren't old. You've just developed a sense of humor beyond the junior high mentality. At least with aptow's stuff there's a modicum of decent writing. "Hey, I know, let's mock W, that'll garner a laugh for sure! Great idea! This way we won't have to be imaginative at ALL! Mo' Money!"

I saw the first two thirds of this movie... it's garbage.
by iamnicksaicnsn
Total and utter garbage. And it's ludicrous they would put the focus on Guantanamo Bay, as it has little or nothing to do with the god damn movie. They are in there for maybe 5 to 10 minutes and then "SPOILER ALERT" they get out. The whole point of the movie is that they are trying to go to Amsterdam to meet with the chick that Kal Penn likes, not getting into Guantanamo Bay. And the jokes are so damn simplistic, though there was a cool scene where there's a bottomless party of 99% girls.
-
looks stupidly funny. Okay, I saw five minutes of the first one on basic cable. Stopped watching because as it was basic they edited the hell out of it.
-
Kept waiting for Leslie Neilsen and OJ Simpson to bust through the door. The Red Band trailer rocks. Can't understand why Doogie is being portrayed as a straight dude still...now that he's "out" and about.
-
Now I might actually have to go rent the first one.
-
This trailer was old news a week ago. Not to mention the red band trailer hit about 2 weeks back. I'll see it, I could do without the George W. Bush bit, though. Not because I like him, I DON'T, I loathe the prez. Those jokes just never work. Ever.
-
wasnt this movie made before he came out? cuz that could explain if there's no mention of it. although this is the age of reshoots, so they might have shot new stuff to stay "up to date"
-
I saw this entire movie. Not two-thirds. The whole thing. Where? At a test screening three or four months ago. It wasn't the finished product, but the entire audience fucking loved it. At least it seemed like everyone loved it because people were laughing their asses off the whole time and even applauded at parts. But, in a theater of 300 people, there are always some douches. It's too bad one of the few douches is posting here, because he/she definitely didn't represent how most of us felt. In terms of theater experience (huge laughs and big crowd reactions), this ranks right up there with Apatow's movies of the past year. How somebody could talk so much shit about this movie blows my mind when it seemed like everyone was having a blast.
-
I find it very funny that Hollywood continues to think we care about their political viewpoints. Can't even make a stoner movie without taking shots at Uncle George. S'OK, history will vindicate the Prez. In the meantime...let's invade Iran and really piss off the Lefties
-
The first one was bad... this one de-elevates to new lows.
-
And I agree with the post above that iamnicksaicnsn is a lame douche. Me, my friends, and everyone else in the test audience roared with laughter. I understand that comedy is subjective, but it always bothers me when someone complains about jokes being offensive, lowbrow, or "simplistic." All I care about is if the damn thing is funny. I was a fan of the first movie, so I was skeptical, but the writers/directors really took it to the next level. There are jokes about every culture, Rob Corddry is awesome, and NPH plays an even bigger role this time. And btw-- any straight guy who disses this movie after seeing the bottomless party should turn in his cock and join a figure skating team.
As for the title, it's not misleading at all. It's called "escape from guantanamo bay" because that's what happens in the movie. The plot isn't about two guys trying to get to Amsterdam. It's about two guys trying to clear their names after they escape from guantanamo bay. Hence, "Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay." I was hoping it was going to be "Harold & Kumar go to Amsterdam," but after seeing the movie, I'm glad they decided to do something different than Eurotrip. -
Everyone knows the only folks we let out of Gitmo are "non-combatents" who mysteriously turn up on the battlefield, killing US soldiers!Seriously, I think it's treasonous to make another Harold and Kumar movie.

Just because you guys are too retarded to realize shitty comedy when you see it, doesn't mean I'm the lame douche. Who gives a shit if it makes fun of every culture if they're stupid lame (and easy) stereotypes that not even Carlos Mencia would use. As for people in the audience liking it, the majority of America is pretty fucking retarded if you've never taken the time to check. And if you're going to use a figure skating joke, I'm the Will Ferrell to your Amy Pohler in Blades of Glory flick, that was ok, but not as good as it could have been.
-
I read this script months ago and was the first one to post about it on the web. your description of the movie is not accurate. Which to me
means (A) you never saw it OR (B)your a douche. Either way though you are in fact a douche. this movie will rock, sorry about your luck. -
Dec 30, 2007 4:27:29 AM CST
Well, ok, to be fair, the last time I saw what I saw...
by iamnicksaicnsn
was June, so mayyybe it's improved since then. And ok, so maybe you could argue that I was wrong in the sense that they have to try to clear their names, but I'm not wrong that they're in Guantanamo for what couldn't have been more than 10 minutes. The whole goal of the movie was to go meet that chick that Harold liked in Amsterdam. On the way they get mistaken for terrorists because rascally ol' Kumar tries to smoke on the plane, and people confuse the bong for a bomb and get sent to Guantanamo. Rob Corddry (who I applaud for trying his damnedest with mediocre material), makes some jokes about them as Koreans and Al Qaeda. They escape (can't remember exactly how, vaguely remember some crazy cell mate), get back to the US, ask their friend who's throwing the bottomless party for help, the friend tells them to go to see the jack-ass republican guy who's going out with Kumar's ex, they try to shake the feds, meet up with some hicks who I believe had a sex addiction or something, Rob Corddry brings their parents in and makes lame jokes about not being able to understand them when they're clearly speaking english, and then they meet up with Neil Patrick Harris. NPH was actually starting to make the thing funny, but unfortunately for me I couldn't finish it. But seriously, who gives a fuck if you read the script and posted about it first. That doesn't mean you saw the movie. That doesn't mean you saw the horrible delivery. I'm sorry to disappoint, but Half Baked this is not. This isn't even How High (which I enjoy, but is clearly not as good as Half Baked) (interesting that all three of this pot movies start with 'H', probably not coincidental).
-
You make us on the Right look brilliant and eloquent. Find me another 4+ year ground war that has yielded only 3900 dead US servicemen. Each loss tragic, but in the non-emotional evaluation of war, acceptable.
-
If RightSock dies, it would be tragic. But in the non-emotional evaluation of douchebags in this country, it would be acceptable.
-
Still time to make it 3901. Or do you just like to talk?
-
has thus far yielded the lowest number of casualties, less progress, and is far more pointless than any four+ year war in our history. Sorry to put words in your mouth, pal, but my dick was getting sore.
