And after Guantanamo Bay opened successfully, the studio approached us about doing a third movie. So instead we gave them a wet, raunchy, anarchic satire. But we also knew that H and K fans who loved watching Kumar bitch-slap a giant anthropomorphic bag of weed in White Castle weren’t going to be interested in seeing a dry, witty, political satire. We liked the idea of making a comedy about the War on Terror. Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay was our first stab at writing a sequel. Unfortunately, Harold & Kumar Go to Amsterdam never made it to the big screen (the lack of success of Europe-themed comedies like Eurotrip made the studio skittish about the premise), but the cult following White Castle had on DVD gave us the opportunity to make another H and K movie. Ironically, it was this promise of future movies that probably gave Senator International and New Line Cinema the incentive to finance and distribute White Castle. The screen goes black and the following words appear: “TO BE CONTINUED IN HAROLD & KUMAR GO TO AMSTERDAM.” From the look in their eyes, it appears they are going to do this. Slowly, but surely, Harold starts to smile as well. KUMAR: You do realize what’s legal in Amsterdam, right? Harold feels a little nervous about what Kumar is saying. By the time she gets back, she may not be available. There are gonna be suave, sophisticated guys all over her. KUMAR: For a hot chick, ten days in Europe is the kiss of death. Don’t believe us? Check out the last page from our original White Castle script But despite these racial roadblocks, we were not only determined to get Harold & Kumar made, we were determined to turn it into a franchise. It seemed like the only shot we had was casting Jackie Chan as Harold and Steve Zahn in brownface as Kumar (which, looking back, would have been an interesting way to go).

When we wrote the first draft of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle back in 2002, we were told there was no way we’d get a major studio to green-light a movie that starred Korean- and Indian-Americans.
