History Film / HaroldAndKumarEscapeFromGuantanamoBay

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's unknown what happened to the second prisoner at Guantanamo Bay; he could have been recaptured by guards (explaining why there weren't any guards to apprehend Harold, Kumar or his cellmate over the barbed fence) or tried to escape through another exit.

* DepravedBisexaul: The Gaye’s at Guantanamo rationalizes that it’s not gay to get oral sex from the same gender.

** Also, a Klansman pursuing Harold and Kumar trips and his burning torch gets tangled in his robes. It's not confirmed whether or not he dies.

* VillainSong: "Mr. Shadowmaker" plays during the KKK scene.

* ThreeWaySex: Kumar fantasizes about this with his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa, and [[CrowningMomentOfFunny a giant bag of weed]].

* VillainBall: Fox could have tested the passengers on the plane for what drug effects they were going through to ensure it was marijuana and not poison gas like Harold said, but instead with only thin accusations and no evidence he just sends Harold and Kumar to the harshest U.S. prison in history.

* GagBoobs: Neil's prostitute.

* PlatonicProstitution

!!'''This movie contains examples of:'''

* CaliforniaDoubling: Averted. The scenes in Amsterdam were actually shot in Amsterdam.

* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale: A marine at Guantanamo Bay attempts to force the characters to give oral sex.
* RealitySubtext: The sight of Harold and Kumar causes Rob Corddry's character to rant about how "al-Qaeda and the North Koreans" must be teaming up. Creator/JohnCho's father actually was a refugee from what is now North Korea, who faced near-starvation while fleeing south.

* MisaimedFandom: In-universe example: agent Ron Fox tells Creator/NeilPatrickHarris that ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' is what inspired him to work for the government hunting terrorists; however, ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' is actually a ''satire'' of jingoistic fearmongers like Fox (the book isn't, but the terrible, terrible movie is).

Picking up right where the last movie left off, [[Creator/JohnCho Harold]] and [[Creator/KalPenn Kumar]], 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 accomplise" Harold, are thrown in Guantanamo Bay. The two escape and head to Texas, pursued by an overzealous Deputy Security of Homeland Security. 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.
