Anecdotes:

In an April 24 2008 Newark Star Ledger interview, the writers Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg mention that the poem "The Square Root of Three" that Kumar recites was written by a classmate of theirs, David Feinberg when all three went to Randolph High School in New Jersey. They were happy they could include in the film a poem they loved while growing up, and Feinberg was thrilled to make a contribution to the film.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The device Kumar finds in the car, and uses to call Goldstein, is a Nokia 770 Internet Tablet. It is not even a phone, and is wrongly referred to as Nokia 7710.

Guillemet:

[first lines]
Kumar Patel: [taking a dump] Oh God, dude!
Harold Lee: [in shower] What the fuck? What the fuck? What are you doing?
Kumar Patel: I'm taking the most incredible dump of all time, man.
Harold Lee: You couldn't wait until I got out of the shower?
Kumar Patel: Um, may I remind you that we both just ate 30 burgers and 4 large orders of fries?
[continues to take a dump]
Kumar Patel: Don't worry, in a little bit I'm sure it'll hit you too.
Harold Lee: Maybe, but I'm going to wait until you get out of the shower!
Kumar Patel: Well don't wait too long. We gotta leave for the airport in an hour.
Harold Lee: An hour?
Kumar Patel: Uh-huh. Oh, hey, Roldy?
Harold Lee: Yeah?
Kumar Patel: Nice pubes.

All That I Want

Went to the midnight screening.

And it was absolutely amazing. I'd been anticipating it since i saw the first one, and it certainly didn't disappoint. Me and a bunch of friends bought slyders before we went. (and chicken rings, those are awesome, but I digress) It was a completely different type of movie than the first one, but that's okay because they're both awesome in different ways!!! I won't ruin anything for anybody, but I will tell you to go out and see the movie immediately,and drag your friends along with you. And then buy the DVD when it comes out so that we can have another adventure with our Marijuana Minorities of Movie Magic!! I for one am going again on Saturday... and Sunday.

I know a lot of conservative people that post on here were concerned about it being too political, but it really wasn't. The movie isn't like anti terrorist punishment or anything, it just shows how ignorant a lot of Americans are post 9/11. And if that's the way the real Bush is in real life, he just went up like 12 points in my book.

I never thought I'd say that, but this movie makes the impossible possible.

Very few people seemed to know they should hang back after the credits. I usually do anyway, so I got to see the little peak into the possible H&K3.

And a magic thing happened. Where usually after an awesome movie, me and my friends are the only ones who stand and applaud at the end, this time, we were joined by all of our fellow audience members... Granted they were all pretty baked I'm sure, but it was justified.
