The Hangover | comment |
The Hangover is a 2009 comedy film directed by Todd Phillips (director of Old School and Starsky & Hutch).Four guys drive to Las Vegas for a bachelor party, and the bulk of the film deals with three of the friends (Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, and Zach Galifianakis) trying to remember the events of the previous night while trying to track down the fourth — the groom — using clues they have on their person. And Mike Tyson himself is involved. Hilarity Ensues.The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture (Musical or Comedy), making it the first "pure" live-action comedy — one that was not a musical or a dramedy — to win the award since 1993's Mrs. Doubtfire. It additionally became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever in the United States at the time, breaking a record held by Beverly Hills Cop for almost 25 yearsnote The title would eventually be broken by none other than Part II in the series. Its success led to the creation of two sequels, forming a trilogy.The Hangover Part II was released in 2011; it follows the three members of "The Wolfpack" from the first film as they wake up from another crazy night — this time, in Bangkok. The status of this film was in doubt due to a Frivolous Lawsuit over the use of Mike Tyson's tattoo by Helms, but Warner Bros. successfully got the lawsuit dismissed, and the film opened as scheduled.The Hangover Part III was released in 2013, in time for Memorial Day. In this film, the Wolfpack make their way back to Vegas, but this time, they're not just cleaning up their own mess; they're also trying to survive an angry rival of Chow (Ken Jeong) who wants them to find his enemy — or else. | |

The Hangover / int_13f5b1b | comment |
Instant-Win Condition: Despite all the terrible, terrible consequences of all their activities in Vegas, when the main characters find Doug and return him (mostly) on time to the wedding, that's it, conflict over. They even ended up winning $80,000 that Doug managed to hold on to. Of course, they did blackmail the cops into letting them go without jail time or any records (but not without hilarious results), Mike Tyson forgives them for the tiger incident, Jade acknowledges the marriage as stupid and allows Stu to leave, and the Triads/Yakuza/whatever the hell a Korean Mafia is called only wanted the money. | |

Part III includes four onscreen human deaths (three of them murders), a plot involving Phil, Stu and Alan trying to drug Chow to deliver him to a gangster in return for Doug and a lot of animals dying in gruesome ways. | |

The Hangover / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Or his ring, in this case. As soon as the Holocaust ring is introduced, you know something is going to happen to it. Stu uses it when he gets married to a hooker. Also, the "This Door Locks Behind You" sign on the door to the roof was a pretty obvious sign that somebody was getting locked up there at some point — though by the time they found Doug, it had long been forgotten.. Possibly a Brick Joke. The tiger. Alan's card counting book, which leads to the Chekhov's Skill. | |

Go Through Me: Alan does this for Phil when Chow had his gun pointed at the latter. Since Chow considers Alan a friend, partly because he's the only one who wrote to him while in jail, and more importantly, opened the trunk and gave him his gun, thus allowing him to survive Marshall's attack, Chow ultimately relents and allows them to live. | |

Team Power Walk: Happens in all three films, all of which are soundtracked to a Kanye West song. In the first movie, when they are hitting the casino to the tune of "Can't Tell Me Nothing." In the second movie, when they are leaving the airport to the tune of "Stronger." In the third third movie, walking out to Alan's wedding to the tune of "Dark Fantasy." | |

Noodle Incident | |
The Hangover / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: Oh so subverted. At first it looks like the events of last night couldn't ever be anything but this, but by the end of the movie, the characters have a pretty good idea of what they did, and it lives up. Played straight, as they never get to know where they found the chicken (a popular theory is that they tried to feed it to the tiger) or how the chair ended up on fire. It's never been explained why Alan can't be within 200 feet of an elementary school or a Chuck E. Cheese, though this could be because he picks fights with children (see Manchild above). Zach Galifinakis says in the DVD commentary that Alan innocently tried to play with some children which of course looked suspicious to parents. It was all just a misunderstanding. "What are you talking about? I've found a baby before." In the second film, the guys somehow managed to start a riot, which brought out the police and left part of Bangkok in ruins. | |

The Hangover / int_446c5792 | comment |
Villainous Rescue: Happens twice to the Wolfpack in this film: The first is when they're bailed out of a Mexican police station. By Marshall, whose house they had just broken into. The second time, they're rescued by Chow, whom Alan helped free and gave him access to his handgun. When Marshall finds out Chow wasn't in the trunk of the limo, he was prepared to shoot them, until Chow pops up from the limo top, and shoots him and his bodyguard in the head. | |

Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: This happens to Alan's dad, Sid Garner, courtesy of Alan giving him a heart attack when he hauls a giraffe onto a highway with his car, only to have it graphically decapitated by an overpass, and especially because of Alan's nonchalant reaction to what his dad had to do in order to fix the mess. This also ends up sending the entire plot into motion. | |

In the first film Alan takes a stun gun to the face, a crowbar to the face, and a Mike Tyson punch to the face, all within one day. Phil is tased in the crotch, attacked by Chow with a crowbar, clawed by a tiger and on the side of the car that gets T-Boned. Finally, Stu is tased in the neck, hit in the crotch with a crowbar and rips out his own tooth. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first film, Chow is treated as more of a mafia boss or the head of a crime syndicate, complete with henchmen and very hands off way of doing things. All other appearances have him working alone and make it pretty clear that he's way too kooky to be in charge of anyone. | |

The Smurfette Principle: All three lead characters are male and most secondary characters with substantial screentime such as Doug, Mr. Chow and Teddy are male too. The first film has more of a female presence since Jade (Heather Graham's character) gets a fairly big supporting role but her counterpart in Part II appears in only one scene and the only other female characters with more than a couple of lines are Tracy and Lauren. | |

Artistic License – Law: Needing a large amount of money to get Doug back, the trio go to a blackjack table where Alan wins over $80,000 by counting cards, despite the other guys telling him earlier it's illegal. The thing is, Alan's method of counting cards was not illegal. He didn't use any outside devices or receive instructions from a partner, so he didn't break any laws. However, casinos do reserve the right to stop the game and bar you from playing in the future if they suspect cheating. Alan did however briefly Lampshade over this in the original, though the other members of the Wolfpack don't believe him. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Some viewers were preoccupied the entire movie with just the mystery of the chickens (which is never really resolved), a very minor detail. We also never truly find out what landed Phil in the hospital. In the credits, he's slapped by the tiger. We never find out where the sword stuck into the couch came from either. Why the chair wound up on fire is never explained either | |

The Hangover / int_8d6d9535 | comment |
Artistic License – Medicine: Stu's new tattoo looks like it's almost completely healed already, even though it was only applied a few hours before. When Alan reveals how he inadvertently drugged his friends again, there is absolutely no way that a combination of muscle relaxers (most commonly Baclofen, Soma, & Flexeril) and ADHD medication (most commonly Adderall, Dexedrin, Ritalin, & Vyvanse) would have an amnesiac effect. The muscle relaxers alone by have made them loopy and pass out early, but not cause amnesia. And the amphetamine-based ADHD medication would not only have prevented any amnesiac effect, but they would've been so hyper-stimulated that they would've been in control of their faculties. | |

The Voiceless: The elderly man in the wheelchair. At first they're confused as to why he doesn't speak, and why he's wearing Teddy's hoodienote The hoodie was given to the monk by Teddy the previous night when they were rioting at a bar, prompting the police to fire tear gas at them, so the elderly man wouldn't be subjected to it. Which also explains why he had all of Teddy's wallet contents on him, such as ID cards, but then they learn he's a monk who has taken a vow of silence, and not even the other monks would be able to get him to speak. | |

Major Injury Underreaction | |
The Hangover / int_91cab736 | comment |
Major Injury Underreaction: Both Teddy and his family are ridiculously calm about the fact that he not only cut off his own finger, but that the guys irretrievably lost it in Bangkok, with no chance of getting it reattached. The guy is a talented musician and is also training to be a surgeon; while this isn't a definitive career destroying injury note at least not for an M.D. in general, only for someone who specifically wants to be a surgeon. Medical specialities are divided in surgical specialities, that need manual dexterity (surgeons (what Teddy originally wants to become), neurosurgeons, ENT's and OB-gyn's are considered this); and non-surgical specialties, in which manual dexterity is more irrelevant (internal medicine, neurologists, general practitioners and especially psychiatrists). Losing a finger might cut you off for careers in the surgical specialties, but you certainly can still have a brilliant career in the non-surgical M.D. specialties. Also, this injury actually won't affect Teddy's musical talent. The finger Teddy loses in on his right hand, which is the hand that holds the bow when he's playing cello (as seen when he's playing the cello before they go to Bangkok). Though he may have to get used to holding the bow with four fingers, he could most certainly still play cello or most instruments., it's certainly going to make the next few months fairly stressful as he learns to cope with a missing digit, let alone the fact that his wound might have gotten dangerously infected over the past twenty four hours. But nope; all he does is shrug. Wacky Bangkok. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: A couple of examples: Chow does this to the Wolfpack when they help him steal the gold from the Mexican villa. He then proceeds to reactivate the alarm, and then snaps the necks of the sleeping guard dogs before leaving them to their fate. Marshall does this to black Doug after he frees the Wolfpack from the Mexican authorities. He claims that his head of security isn't doing his job if a bunch of guys managed to break into the villa and steal the gold. | |

Made of Iron: All of the Wolfpack appear to be this. In the first film Alan takes a stun gun to the face, a crowbar to the face, and a Mike Tyson punch to the face, all within one day. Phil is tased in the crotch, attacked by Chow with a crowbar, clawed by a tiger and on the side of the car that gets T-Boned. Finally, Stu is tased in the neck, hit in the crotch with a crowbar and rips out his own tooth. In Part II all three guys are repeatedly beaten with a long stick of bamboo by a monk, and Phil gets shot in the friggin' arm but manages to get by fine with a few $6 stitches. Made of iron, indeed. | |

Karma Houdini: It turns out that, as opposed to the first film, Alan deliberately roofied everyone, even if he was only targeting Teddy, which really doesn't make it any better. Other than the others getting mad with him for about a minute, there are no repercussions. And two counts for when Stu slept with Kimmy, a kathoey (transgender woman) sex worker. One since, as Stu was clearly wasted and couldn't give informed consent, Kimmy raped him. Two since, even though Stu was wasted, the incident is quickly brushed over and he goes on to marry his fiancee without telling her the truth, or even getting tested for a quite possible STD. | |

One of that's pretty much Genius Bonus: one of the pictures in the end credits montage is inspired by a Pulitzer Prize-winning picture taken during the Vietnam War. Some liked it, but Roger Ebert was horrified. invoked | |

DIY Dentistry: Stu is missing a tooth when they wake up from the night they can't remember. At the end, it's revealed that he pulled it out himself because the others said he couldn't do it. For extra irony points, Stu himself is a dentist, for all the difference it makes when yanking out a tooth with pliers at a strip club while black-out drunk. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
The Hangover / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Subverted with Stu's shrill, unfaithful and physically abusive fiancé Melissa. On the one hand, it's played as Black Comedy, but pretty much everyone but him in the story agrees that she's rotten. Even when Stu stands up to her at the end, she seems rather flippant about it. Seeing him finally break up with her in a rather magnificent (albeit awkward) manner is one of the most satisfying moments in the film. | |

Genre Throwback | |
The Hangover / int_d139ffaf | comment |
Genre Throwback: A mundane, vulgar and gritty one to the Screwball Comedy genre of the 1930s and 40s for it's premise and the tropes the trilogy upholds. The main three of the Wolf Pack is a down-to-earth Expy of The Three Stooges, while Doug himself can be considered an Expy of Ted Healy, whom the Stooges were lackeys of in the early days. The first film's scene has a Shout-Out to Howard Hawks' Bringing Up Baby, while the racial stereotype character of Leslie Chow would not look out of place from a film from the 30s and 40s where the racial imperium was the norminvoked. Alan himself mostly thinks he's in one of the era's films when they abide by The Hays Code back then if his tendency to Gosh Dang It to Heck! is taken to consideration. Todd's real life experience that inspired the making of the first film can be considered the closest to a screwball comedy film-like situation in real-life. | |

Red Herring: You'd really think that Alan's comment about not being allowed within 200 feet of schools or Chuck-E-Cheeses was going to come back to haunt them later in the movie. Stu's missing tooth might count. It seemed like it would be just as much of a clue as all the other weird stuff they found, but it turns out it doesn't have any relevance to finding Doug. Stu just pulled it out himself for a dare. Not mention when they hear the banging in the trunk. | |

It's never been explained why Alan can't be within 200 feet of an elementary school or a Chuck E. Cheese, though this could be because he picks fights with children (see Manchild above). Zach Galifinakis says in the DVD commentary that Alan innocently tried to play with some children which of course looked suspicious to parents. It was all just a misunderstanding. | |

Artistic License – Geography: The monastery in Chiang Mai that the elderly monk comes from would in reality be about 700 kilometres away from Bangkok in the north of Thailand, rather than merely a short bus ride, meaning it would have taken fourteen hours just to get there and back. And getting from the Krabi resort to Bangkok and back by speedboat — since the two locations are on the opposite coasts of Thailand — would require a 1,500-mile journey through the straits of Malacca via Singapore and would clearly be impossible for the group to do in the limited time frame. | |

The Hangover / int_ee5bd902 | comment |
Mundane MacGuffin Person: Doug, who is given all the characterization of a very Nice Guy to both his friends and brother in law. So much so that you can honestly believe these guys would shake down all of Las Vegas to find him. | |

The Hangover / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: An important plot point is that there are two characters named Doug — a drug dealer who sold the roofies to Alan, and the lost groom. They wind up inadvertently rescuing the first Doug, who inspires a "Eureka!" Moment, which leads to them finding Doug on the roof. | |

Dumbass Has a Point | |
The Hangover / int_f360fc33 | comment |
Dumbass Has a Point: Alan has one when they're trying to come up with a place they can catch Chow and drug him, saying they could use a movie theater. Phil says it's a great idea because they can use the darkness for cover in catching Chow. Black Doug remarks that "Somebody's gotta pay" when Marshall reveals that the villa is his and Chow ripped him off and killed his guard dogs. Marshall says "He's right" and instead of shooting Doug as Black Doug thought he would do, shoots Black Doug instead. When Phil remarks that he left his phone in the minivan, which Chow stole, Alan pipes up that he has a find my phone app, and Stu backs up Alan's point by saying they can track Chow down with the app, as if Chow stole the minivan and the phone is in it, it can lead them to Chow, which it does. In fact, without Alan's point, the film wouldn't have gone any further. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
The Hangover / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Alan. The Vegas incident can be attributed to his own ignorance rather than malice, but that excuse only works once. Not to mention they asked him if he drugged them the second time, and he not only straight-up lied to them, but swore to God. | |

Colorblind Confusion | |
The Hangover / int_f4d8c86f | comment |
Color Blind Confusion: Chow being color blind means that he can't tell Stu which wire to cut when both are trying to disarm two parts of a security system at the same time. | |

Distressed Dude | |
The Hangover / int_f9e16ef | comment |
Distressed Dude: Subverted with Doug and Teddy in the first two films — the only danger they're in comes from it taking two days to find them in the isolated locations they're trapped in and not of any direct threats on their lives. Played straight in the third film, as Doug is kidnapped and held hostage as incentive for the Wolfpack to track Chow down after he stole millions from Marshall. | |

The Hangover / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Alan does this quite a few times. When scolding Alan at the start of the film, his father mentions that Alan is 40 years old and still lives at home, and needs to finally grow up. Alan points out that he's actually 42. Chow uses a miniature replica of his house, actually Marshall's, to illustrate his plan to break in and get the gold. After he explains the plan in full detail, Alan points out that they can't break into the house, because it's too small. | |

Brick Joke | |
The Hangover / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Also, the "This Door Locks Behind You" sign on the door to the roof was a pretty obvious sign that somebody was getting locked up there at some point — though by the time they found Doug, it had long been forgotten.. Possibly a Brick Joke. | |
