The Hangover PartIII
won’t have the plot format as its predecessors gives the threequel a heads-up
on Part II (and The
Wolfpack’s all-too-familiar shenanigans therein). Instead, Phil, Stu and Alan
are hitting the road for a wild trip that includes pig-masked bandits,
psychotic Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) dressed (disguised?) as an officer of the law –
and the scene of their first booze-fueled crimes, Las Vegas
New official images from Hangover 3.0 tease
The Wolfpack heading back to Sin City, as well as the (even-more) armed and
dangerous Mr. Chow. Meanwhile, director Todd Phillips has spilled some
additional details about the film; including, whose funeral The Wolfpack was
attending in previously-released set photos.
Phillips’ original movie sees Phil (Bradley Cooper),
Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zack Galifianakis) running around Vegas, after a night
of inebriated debauchery leaves their groom-to-pal Doug (Justin Bartha)
missing. It was a surprise smash hit back in 2009 and so, a sequel was quickly
assembled in the hopes of bottling lightning a second time. Part II
played musical chairs with certain characters and the setting but otherwise, it
might as well’ve been a remake – though, that didn’t prevent the film from
grossing $581 million around the globe (and guaranteeing Part III in the process).
Here’s what Phillips offered EW about the third installment:
“The Hangover Part III is Alan’s story. He’s
going through a crisis after the death of his father, [and] the Wolfpack is all
he has.”
Those with good memories might remember Galifianakis
mentioning last year that Hangover Part III sees Alan’s buddies freeing him from a
mental institution. Until further notice, it remains possible that Alan could
indeed suffer a breakdown – following his father’s passing – that lands him in
confinement; not to mention, sees The Wolfpack on a crazy adventure that takes
them to Los Angeles, Tijuana and eventually Vegas after (to quote the EW report) “something from the first movie comes back
to haunt them.”
While the Vegas image from Hangover 3 isn’t exactly
enlightening (Abbey Road reference aside), the latter photo reveals a Mr. Chow
who’s “darker
than ever,” according to Phillips. Jeong – who likewise went
fully-insane on the third season of Community – will appear alongside John Goodman as a new
antagonist, with returning players Mike Tyson and Heather Graham as
heart-of-gold stripper Jade from the first film. (Is she what “comes back to haunt” The Wolfpack?
