History Film / HaroldAndKumarEscapeFromGuantanamoBay

* [[spoiler:Colton]] turning Harold and Kumar over to Fox arguably cost him dearly, as the duo end up befriending the president and this enables them to clear their names, ruin his wedding, and he himself ended up ruining his reputation and losing everything. Things might've actually ended up going his way had he actually helped the duo like Harold suggested he would.
* The KKK's Grand Dragon gets burned alive by his own flame after he ran down a hill and tripped while holding a torch.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The KKK's Grand Dragon gets burned alive by his own flame after he ran down a hill and tripped while holding a torch.

Picking up right where the last movie left off, Harold (Creator/JohnCho) and Kumar (Creator/KalPenn), fresh from their trip to White Castle, have decided to follow Harold's neighbor Maria to Amsterdam. On the plane Kumar and the bong he brought on are mistaken for a terrorist and a bomb, and Kumar, along with his "North Korean accomplice" Harold, are thrown in Guantanamo Bay. The two escape and head to Texas, pursued by an overzealous Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security (Creator/RobCorddry). An old friend of theirs, Colton, is getting married to Kumar's ex-girlfriend Vanessa, and has invited President UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush to the wedding. Harold wants to get a pardon; Kumar wants to ruin the wedding after wanting to reconnect with Vanessa as well as Colton betraying them.

* GagBoobs: Neil's prostitute Tits Hemmingway. Though in real life her breasts were not fake.

* HollywoodTourettes: Stronly implied with the KKK's Grand Dragon.

* ChekhovsGun: Kumar's "Square Root of 3" poem and Neil Patrick Harris' cans of mace.

* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: A marine at Guantanamo Bay attempts to force the characters to give oral sex.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Somewhat. The duo are [[MistakenForTerrorist mistaken for terrorists]], sent to Guantanamo Bay, [[PrisonRape nearly]] [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale sexually assaulted by the guards]], and watch [[spoiler:Neil Patrick Harris shot, though that last one is moot since he comes back from the dead]].

* InterchangeableAsianCultures: Averted, for once, but for the worst possible reason: The plane passengers recognize Harold as a Korean... unfortunately, they think he's a ''North'' Korean. Oops.
* InterrogationByVandalism: Played for laughs. The ludicrously racist Homeland Security Agent Ron Fox tries to use these to get witnesses to talk, wasting [[TrademarkFavoriteFood grape soda]] for a black guy and [[GreedyJew spilling a bag of coins]] for Jewish people. The movie takes it to another level when the stereotypes turn out to be somewhat true: a random black guy watching the grape soda be spilled says "Ask if he got any kool-aid!" (though he may have been joking in-universe) and Goldstein starts grabbing the coins off the table after Fox leaves.

* SweetHomeAlabama: The movie has its fair share of negative DeepSouth stereotypes, most notably the Ku Klux Klan, but there is also a sophisticated, sympathetic Southern couple that helps Harold and Kumar hide from the government. The couple is still pretty stereotypical. They're an [[BrotherSisterIncest incestuous]] couple with a deformed son.

* TheStinger: Reveals that Neil Patrick Harris is alive!

** Ron Fox, an evil white-supremacist government agent [[spoiler: falls out of an aeroplane ''without'' a parachute after 90 minutes of]] brutalizing and terrorizing ethnic minorities.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Somewhat. The duo are [[MistakenForTerrorist mistaken for terrorists]], sent to Guantanamo Bay, [[PrisonRape nearly]] [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale raped]], and watch [[spoiler:Neil Patrick Harris shot, though that last one is moot since he comes back from the dead]].

* FloweryInsults: Kumar calls an AmbiguouslyBrown security guard "Matthew Perry" and the guard seriously takes offense to that.

* AngryBlackMan: Subverted. Harold and Kumar's car breaks down in a neighborhood that the two think is filled with angry black men and run off before a bunch of guys roll out equipment to help fix their car.

* FantasticRacism: Ron Fox when he first sees Harold thinks that he has weird eyes or is handicapped. One of the generals has to tell him that he's not white.

* EvilHero: Ron Fox is Chief of Homeland Security, meaning his job is to protect America from any perceived threat from an outside country. Unfortunately, he's so bigoted and neurotic that he perceives anyone who isn't white or catholic as a potential threat and is ''completely'' unreasonable.

* InterrogationByVandalism: Played for laughs. The ludicrously racist Homeland Security Agent Ron Fox tries to use these to get witnesses to talk, wasting [[TrademarkFavoriteFood grape soda]] for a black guy and [[GreedyJew spilling a bag of coins]] for Jewish people. The movie takes it to another level when the stereotypes turn out to be somewhat true: a random black guy watching the grape soda be spilled says "Ask if he got any kool-aid!" and Goldstein starts grabbing the coins off the table after Fox leaves.

** Kumar: [[spoiler: "It looks like Osama Bin Laden's beard!!!"]]

* Fanservice: The whole sequence with Raza takes place at a "bottomless party" (consisting 99% of attractive women) for no particular reason.

* FanDisservice: Raza, at the "bottomless party", with an EXTREMELY hairy private region.

* HollywoodTourette's: Stronly implied with the KKK's Grand Dragon.

* RaceTropes: Ron Fox tries to use these to get witnesses to talk, wasting [[TrademarkFavoriteFood grape soda]] for a black guy and [[GreedyJew spilling a bag of coins]] for Jewish people. These tactics only serve to make people more affronted by his outright racism.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Ron Fox.

* CompletelyUnnecessaryTranslator: Harold's parents have been American citizens for over 40 years, and frankly they find Fox's treatment of them insulting.

* BrotherSisterIncest: While in hiding, [[spoiler: Harold and Kumar seek refuge in the house of a southern couple, Raymus and Raylene who sarcastically joke that they "keep their inbred son in the basement". Once they discovered this and the inbred son joke turned out to be true, Raymus and Raylene proudly confess that they're siblings and "they get it on". Since they're from the south, Harold and Kumar are not really surprised by this.
