Harold and Kumar 3 Announced

While Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay had it moments, ultimately Slashfilm was let down, graphing it as a 4.5/10 (and later a 3.5/10 for the inclusion of a 311 song in 2008). The profitable sequel hits DVD on Tuesday and today Harold and Kumar 3 was given the greenlight for John Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, the writer/directors of the previous film, who also penned the funnier White Castle.

Kal Penn and John Cho have an option for a third film, and unless they’ve upgraded to heroin, we expect them to bong it up and crash yet another Bottlomless Party on screen—but this time, I dunno, make it count. Diving into the Slashfilm archives, last March rumors circulated that a Neil Patrick Harris spin-off was also a possibility. Six cameos I would like to see in a third film: Brad Pitt’s Floyd from True Romance, Arrowhead Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s 2, a bloodshot Smokey the Bear, Andy Dick selling Xanax to children in a Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot, Corey Haim’s trailer, and the cross-joint from Pineapple Express.

Discuss: Who should cameo in Harold and Kumar 3? In all seriousness, should they title this film, Harold and Kumar: What’s the Point? If not, what should the subtitle be? Would you rather see an NPH spin-off?

    what the fuck is wrong with a 311 song? H&K2 put me to sleep. but dropping a movie a point for using a song thats outdated? "my stonie baby" is a great song. ugh. people's reasons for shit piss me off sometimes. i bet y'all were all about "ironman" being in "ironman"... lame.

    It better be a 90 minute apology.
  • chrontitius
    dude fuck you man harold and kumar rock. both of the movies are equally awesome. and fuck that rating it's completely biased bullshit. if you didn't enjoy harold and kumar 2 then i only have to ask you one thing, "bitch, what are you smoking?"
    they shouldn't change their ways with the third. it should be a somewhat similar transition (one hour time elapse in the storyline.) they shouldn't go to heroin thats just stupid, keep it green and no rehab

    Didn't the first one bomb?

    I'd rather see a NPH spinoff. NPH rulez :P (loved him in Dr. Horrible :) )

    What the fuck were people expecting from H&K II? It was a stupid dumb ass movie, but it was supposed to be. I ended up seeing it with zero expectations, especially since I didn't think H&K I was as great as some people make it out to be. I ended up enjoying myself and although it was by no means a spectacular movie, I'd still give it a soid 6.5/10. Actually make that a 7/10 for including a 311 song in 2008.
  • the nigga that replied
    fuk u man ur a fukin dumbass H&K2 ruled bitch
  • They better come up with some funny shit because I agree the first one was not funny at all.
  • thomas
    the first two were not bad, they are actually pretty good compared to the 'genre' movies that have been flooding the box office lately. I say bring on Harold and Kumar 3!!!!!
  • Captain Awesome
    Hunter,

    Did your head explode? I will fund this new film just for you.
  • I think they could pull an Ocean's Thirteen and make up for the lackluster second one.
  • YEAH RIGHT!
    Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam!
    Instead of some stupid cross country road trip they should just trip out in Amsterdam.
    you're welcome.

    @ CA

    I don't hate these films. The first one is pretty funny---not on the level of Grandma's Boy---but pretty funny. The second retread too much from the first (especially the redneck KKK stuff), and the subplot with the girls was mushy to the max. That's not the audience for this film.

    We rated it a 4.5/10 b/c it didn't meet its potential as a stoner comedy. Swag.
  • Captain Awesome
    I know.

    I just like giving you shit. :P
  • 790
    Lol Hunter, Andy Dick buys Xanex, he dosnt sell it. ;-)

    Yeah I had some probs with H&K 2. (Full male frontal) shit guys, wtf. Let's stick with the ladies. (And I hate liking bush's double).

    Bring on H&K3, their in Amsterdam, it should be fun !!!
  • Seriously
    wouldn't it be kind of hard to have a NPH spinoff movie considering the whore blew him away with a shotgun in H&K 2? and for a title, let's borrow from the original stoners Cheech & Chong.... Harold and Kumar's Next Movie
  • Kooomar
    Anyone who didn't like the second one was obviously not stoned. Maybe re-watch it, the way it was ment to be watched, when it comes out on tuesday.
  • 790
    I loved the homeland Security angle, and that crazy agent. One of the funniest parts of the film was when he jumped out of the plane after them,, shooting at them all the way to his death. And the scenes with stoner bush.

    Other funny part when the gaurds call the boys gay for making them suck their *#@>'s
  • Jake
    Everyone hating on H&K II should eat my cockmeat sandwich. I wouldn't say it was better than the first one, but it certainly was funnier. I got stoned and went to see that movie and I cried numerous times from laughing so hard. I give it a 9.5/10, these days people are just so critical. Just smoke a joint and be happy, sheesh.
  • 790
    Lol, right on Jake,,,,,but get your junk out of that sandwitch.
  • RSN
    Harold and Kumar Imo, was better made than the first one, and was a lot more funnier.

    Who the **** is gonna care about a review that drops a point because it includes a 311 song.
  • Jake
    Well I liked the first one more because of the whole plot in general. In the new one, there were so many things happening but I agree, it was A LOT funnier.
  • Scott
    Are you kidding? I'm a huge Harold and Kumar fan. I thought both 1 and 2 were great. I just got done watching the 2nd one for the 3rd time since I bought it. And whoever said how are they gonna make a NPH spinoff after he got shot off... watch down until after the credits and you'll see. Bring on the next movie. Harold and Kumar are the best.
  • RJM
    I think the sequel tried too hard. It was like they had a blank check and really didn't know what to do with it. I am all for vulgarity, but it seemed like they were doing it just for the sake of it. With all that in mind, it was still entertaining and made me laugh. As much as I hate to say it the 3rd installment should probably be something like "Harold and Kumar get Married" if they want to keep in line with how the plot has evolved. Now how do you make a stoner movie with a double-wedding thrown in? I leave that in the hands of Schlossberg and Hurwitz. I know it sounds pretty gay, unless you take the Harold and Kumar go to Rehab idea (as previously mentioned) taking a spin through their lives where they both hit rock-bottom and either what got them there or what will get them back out of the schitter???
  • Jake
    I would hate seeing Harold and Kumar hitting rock bottom and going to rehab. It's supposed to be a comedy and I would hate to see these characters in that light even if they do it in a funny way. The reason everyone likes Harold and Kumar is because of the pot and everything in the movie revolves around the pot smoking. That's why everyone gets so dissapointed when they find out that Kal and John don't actually smoke in real life.
  • zb
    people take these movies way to seriously
    its supposed to be funny and something u and ur friends can all hav a good laugh at
    i hate it when ppl call it dumb and stupid

  • sebastian

  • harold & jumar for preside
    I'll go with harold & kumar for president.
  • harold & kumar for preside
    I’ll go with harold & kumar for president.
  • Jake
    Sebastian I totally know how you feel I seriously am in love with this movie. And it's kinda sad when I think about it that Harold and Kumar don't smoke weed in real life because I feel that they represent everyone that smokes weed and in every movie they show these lazy ass fucking stoners that are just idiots while these guys are smart, they've got jobs but they just choose to smoke because it's something that they like to do. H&K go to white castle is my favorite all time movie and will never be topped, but H&K 2 is a close second while Field of Dreams and Felon (2008) follow it (but not close)
  • joyce barnes
    I think the next sequel should be harold and kumar gets married. The storyline colud also include him going to rehab for their drug addiction after the untimely demise of their newly spouses
  • Destri
    Ok...I thought it was funny.
    Cmon...! Its a movie where a dude has a "dream threesome" with a bag of pot..
    and as for the 311 song..although the movie was made in 2008, that song happened in a "flasback"
  • doyen
    the harold and kumar movies are hilarious. the first one, no matter how dumb people say it is, is pure genious. it has a plot so original and simple it completely succeeds on any movie: buddy comedy, stoner flick, cross- country road trip flick, stc. the second one, although not as clever still has some pretty insightful observations on rascism. i just wish the plot of h&k 2 wasnt so outlandish. but either way the films are subtely brilliant and are meant to be truly hilarious... bring on h&k 3. p.s. pineapple express looks B.A.
  • cockmeat sandwich
    who ever said this movie was not as good because of a 311 song is an idiot. the whole movie was funny just like i thought it would be which has nothing to do with the music they play. and who gives a shit if the song is out dated, its a great song and i'd like to see "hunter stephenson" write a better one.
  • H&K
    What the Hell is Wrong with Gunatanamo Bay? i thought it was one of the best Movies of 08! Way Better than White Castle!
  • Jake
    It's not way better. I like white castle more because the storyline is simple, charming, and not too overwelming. I would say they tried to hard on G-Bay but they succeeded, but the format for this movie was much different than white castle.
  • Big Mo.P
    the last movie wasn't about escaping from guantanomo bay..it was more about running from the government. They only spend like 10 minutes in G-Bay. The whole movie was really about them getting to Texas for Colt to save their ass, while not getting caught.

    They should make the next movie simply Harold and Kumar 3 and have all sorts of adventures in it.
  • Joseph
    loved both films, got what i wanted from em...first was better, compared to the second, the first seems possible. I think i wanna see a side story of rosenberg and goldstein go to hotdog heaven and their adventure, going to the asian party, all that....they're hilarious characters!
  • Joseph
    oh, and, sorry, but no, it wasnt better than the first
  • Jake
    Tits, tits! Boobie boobies boobies! Holy shit! ROFL
  • Curb
    I loved h&k I thought it was well acted and well directed. I'm also finding that alot silly comedys look stupid at first but turn out to be really good. For example check out Beerfest great movie, Bubble boy great movie well directed and all time classic Dirty work!
