* Doug was [[spoiler: severely burned]] after the guys found him, to the point of his chest hurting like crazy when somebody touches it. Then in the second movie, from the prostitute's story, we can tell that Stu, as Alan puts it, [[spoiler:''"has semen in him"'']]. Additionally, he's been treated with a needle from a not-so-reliable tattoo artist. Now, Stu is a responsible and caring guy, when he's not stoned. It's safe to assume that he'd [[spoiler:take all kinds of tests]] before [[spoiler:endangering his new wife]]. This means that neither of the grooms [[spoiler:had sex on their wedding night]]. And you thought that ([[spoiler:missing fingers aside]]) there had been no consequences!

* In the first movie, when Stu is freaking out over Alan wanting the "free" almonds in the room, Phil picks up the almonds, gauges the weight, and then replaces them with a glass of water of equal volume, thus tripping the pressure-sensitive plate to not charge Stu. Brilliant once you remember he's a science teacher.

* In the second movie, Phil points out that if it hadn't been for their Vegas adventure, Stu "would've married a cunt". Not only is he right, but considering that Melissa is immensely abusive towards Stu, in more ways than one (physically, emotionally, and psychologically), imagine [[AbusiveParents what kind of mother]] Melissa would've been if they had gotten married.

* In Mike Tyson's first scene, he's singing to the song "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins; after the drum solo, he tricks the guys into singing along until he suddenly knocks out Alan. The song itself is about an angry man who hides his rage towards his cheating spouse and the drum solo is the moment where the man finally loses his temper. Pretty fitting since Tyson was infuriated by the abduction of his tiger and made the protagonists drop their guard when he convinced them to sing along. Like the song; Tyson was hiding his rage until he unleashed it at full force.

* What if they'd found Doug straight away & left without resolving the issue of the tiger in the bathroom? ''What if they never found the baby either?''
** Jade does have a key, and was only out of the room a few minutes to get coffee. She would have taken her baby if they had left him there. The tiger was locked in the bathroom and so wouldn't have been able to eat the child. If they had left the tiger there, one can assume the hotel would have called animal control and it would eventually be returned to Mike Tyson (assuming it was legal for him to own it in the first place).

* LindsayLohan said that she didn't regret turning down the role of Jade. At first once has to wonder what she was thinking, but seeing how misogynistic the movies are, can you blame her?

* Nobody in the second film ever comments on the fact that Stu cheated on his fiancee with a Thai hooker. True he was wasted out of his mind, but he never bothers to tell her about it and nobody calls him out on it. The shitiness of cheating aside, [[DoubleStandard especially since Stu dumped Melissa partially due to her cheating]], it's possible Stu could end up exposing his new wife to an STD. WhatTheHellHero?
** I'm positive Alan has a whole bit about it at the wedding, going on about how Stu got bummed. Although, you could mean a completely different Thai hooker to me, that I've forgotten about...

* Phil initially comes off an obnoxious frat boy, in contrast to Stu as the responsible one. However, once the reality of losing Doug sets in, Stu basically has a breakdown & Phil takes control of the situation whilst calming down a distraught Alan. Phil's a married teacher with a son of his own, so it makes sense that he's the one who becomes the voice of reason rather than Stu.

* What happened with Stu & Jade starting a relationship at the end of the first film? Simple, he mentions at the start of the sequel that he's still seeing a therapist to cope with the events of the first film. Stu simply couldn't date Jade because she & Tyler were reminders of what happened in Vegas.
