Spoilers: New ‘Hangover Part II’ Set Photos
WhenTodd Phillipsand crew were filming the firstHangoverfilm, they did so under the radar. No one thought a little Vegas based comedy starringBradley Cooper, Ed HelmsandZack Galifianakiscould make any money. In fact, I’m sure some insiders probably asked “Galifi-who-kis?” What they underestimated was the power of an actual good movie andThe Hangoverbecame the top grossing R-rated comedy of all time. It made Galifianakis into a household name and bona fide box office draw, Helms is as popular as ever thanks toThe Officeand Bradley Cooper isn’t only Face fromThe A-Team, he’s mentioned inpractically everysingle piece of superhero casting there is.
Because of that success, when production began on the sequel,The Hangover Part II, it was pretty obvious it wasn’t going to fly under the radar. So it’s no surprise that a second batch of set photos fromThe Hangover Part IIjust appeared online and,unlike the first batch, these certainly ruin some punchlines. Continue only if you don’t care about spoilers.
The photos are onTMZ.
Stu’s (Ed Helms) face tattoo is, presumably, the work ofLiam Neeson’s character, the tattoo artist cameo originally meant for Mel Gibson. It probably also hints to Mike Tyson’s involvement as it’s the exact same tattoo Tyson has. As for why Alan (Galifianakis) shaves his head, one can only speculate. I would bet heavily, though, on some sort of small creatures that grow in his flowing locks from the earlier set photos. At least Phil (Cooper) seems to be okay so far.
If you’re still here, talk spoilers below. Do you thinkThe Hangover Part IIis just going to be an exact copy of the first film? These photos tend to suggest it.
