Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAs 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.
- GoofsThe cheetah roars during the film. Cheetahs cannot roar, they can only purr, hiss, and growl.
- Crazy creditsThe denouement is shown during the start of the end credits.
- Alternate versionsThere 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.

Featured review
This movie is enjoyable only if you don't try to take it seriously. It was bust a gut laughs from start to finish. Next to DodgeBall, I would say this was tied as the funniest film of 2004. It starts out with Harold(John Cho) an overworked and very passive guy, who has a crush on the beautiful Maria(Paula Garces, remember her from ClockStoppers and T.V.'s Guiding Light). Harold has a best friend and roomate named Kumar(Kal Penn) who rather be stoned, then get a job. One night decide to go to White Castle fast food place. Then begins an unenjoyable night, where thing that could go wrong, really do. That is all I'm gonna say. Get ready to laugh your head off. It was quite edgy. But for some people, don't see it, if you get easily affended.
