The Hangover | Movie Of The Year?


I am dangerously close to having to count the number of times I have seen The Hangover in theatres on two hands now. For those in the know here are a few tid-bits you might find appetizing and if you have no clue about what I am talking about you should probably kick yourself in the face and than find a cheap theatre to see this on the big screen while you still can.


The Nevada scenes in the Hangover were filmed over the course of 15 days. During those 15 days Ed Helms (Stu Price) lost 8 pounds. Helms's tooth that goes missing was actually a dental implant that he received as a teenager that was removed for filming. Zach Galifianakis's (Alan Garner) explict shots in the final photo slide is actually a prosthesis. The dude in the elevator "making out" with the chick is producer Todd Phillips. It was actor Ken Jeong (Leslie Chow) who decided his character should jump out of the trunk of the Benz naked. One of the Mercedes being used for the film was actually stolen from the lot but recovered when production, while filming one of the driving scenes, was being held up by police who had coincidentally pulled over the Mercedes. The baby in the movie consisted of three sets of twins. Kanye paid actor Zach Galifianakis's to make an alternative video for his song "Can't Tell Me Nothing". Linday Lohan was offered the part of Jade (Heather Graham) but refused saying the movie would bomb. The sequel was in the works before the release of the film and will hit theatres October 2010 for Memorial Weekend.

The Hangover comes to DVD December 15 just in time to fill everyones stockings.

And the award for Best On Screen Hair goes to Bradley Cooper. If you know his secret email me.
