    Storyline

    • Trivia
      As a "thank you" for all of the free advertising the film gave them, White Castle arranged to have collectible "Harold and Kumar" cups at all of their locations during the film's release. It marks the first time an R-rated comedy is advertised on fast food containers.
    • Goofs
      The cheetah roars during the film. Cheetahs cannot roar, they can only purr, hiss, and growl.
    • Quotes

      Harold: Did Doogie Howser just steal my fucking car?

    • Crazy credits
      The denouement is shown during the start of the end credits.
    • Alternate versions
      There is approximately one extra minute of scenes in the "Unrated" version of the movie:
      • At the Asian party, two women flash the shy guy in order to get some weed. Harold and Kumar stop and stare, as does a campus police officer chasing them. The women then cover themselves after noticing the campus police.
      • After the kayak stunt, the guys talk a little longer about how "extreme" the stunt was and one picks up a bag of Doritos Extreme Cheddar and eats it.
      • The scene with Neil Patrick Harris and the two strippers is slightly longer.
      • Cindy Kim is shown kissing Goldstein (when his mouth is full of food) at Hotdog Heaven.
      • The Extreme guys have more dialogue after Harold steals their truck.

    Jim Blesener and Cat Stevens Go to Black Shack
    I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time. Being a fan of White Castle and the talents of John Cho and Kal Penn, this movie was a sure fire hit. Normally I would think a script about two stoners on a quest for White Castle sliders would be boring, if not retarded, material... but this movie just works.

    Let's face it - the stoner angle may not appeal to everyone, but their quest is just too good/funny to pass up. There are more wacky moments than most "buds hit the road" comedies can muster. Imagine Neil Patrick Harris (NPH!!) playing himself - well, he flippin' does here, in a very funny, if slightly disturbing, role. The comradeship between John and Kal is fantastic. They'll probably remind you of two old buds from college - or maybe even hit closer to home.

    I'm not sure if it's the great delivery by John/Kal, maybe the writing, or a both - this movie is really a great time. The whole theater was laughing - I haven't heard that in A LONG TIME. Did "Bruce Almighty" do that? No. Did "Envy" do it? Hell no. Did "50 First Dates" do it? Ummm, no.

    Bottom line - this is a good movie that actually delivers the laughs.
