Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

Finally a sequel to one of the funniest movies I've seen in years.

http://www.cinematical.com/2005/12/0...old-and-kumar/

It looks like Harold and Kumar are coming back to a theater near you, however, this time they're not going to White Castle. The highly anticipated (depending on how stoned you are or were) Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam appears to be on the fast track and Kal Penn (Kumar) told MTV that discussions are definitely underway. Totally awesome! Apparently there's an option that's about to expire forcing the filmmakers (who own the rights to the franchise) to put down the bong and get this movie made.

Penn also let on that a third Harold and Kumar may happen depending on how well the movies do in theaters and on DVD. He says, "I heard they were thinking about Vegas. John [Cho, who plays Harold] and I are both, obviously, committed to doing at least two more, but whether or not they happen is not up to us." Personally, I enjoyed the White Castle flick (kind of), but I cannot see them holding onto this shtick and keeping it funny for two more films. What do you think?

I thought the first one was hilarious. I'm down with a second.

Very good. While I missed "White Castle" in the theater, I picked it up on DVD. Definitely a lot of laughs.

Wonder if Doogie is making the trip

White Castle was a whole lot funnier than I expected. I'm always wary of sequels though.

Especially on movies like this.

I didn't think the first one was very funny at all. I must have been out of the room when somebody passed the dutchie 'pon the left-hand side.

But have you ever craved White Castle at midnight?

Good lord, no.

White Castle burgers taste like feet.

I will bow to this director in admiration if he can get Sam Jackson to make a cameo as Jules in an Amsterdam hash bar.

Then you would probably think that Krystal burgers taste like decomposing flesh...

"Krystal Burgers" are just scrapings of grease off the grill as far as i can tell.

Krystal burgers are made from meat that White Castle deemed unacceptable.

Although, in terms of dumb sequels actually being OK, I point to Waynes World 2 (which I thought was as funny as Waynes World) and Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (which I thought was actually funnier than the original Bill and Ted).

It could work...
