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
Harold Lee (John Cho) is a meek Asian who gets picked on all the time. He can't even get up the courage to talk to his neighbor Maria (Paula Garcés). Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) is his highly inappropriate slacker roommate who works hard NOT to get into medical school. They get stoned together and feel the need for White Castle.
This is full on slacker humor. The two guys make great comedic chemistry without the usual comedian. Their humor really comes from their friendship. The fact that they're both Asians is almost a side issue except for some ignorant racists characters in the movie. NPH makes a hilarious outrageous cameo.
