==Plot==
==Plot==
[[John Cho]] plays Harold, a young [[Koreans|Korean]] man working at his first job in banking, sick of his Caucasian co-workers' assumption that, as an Asian, he surely must love to crunch numbers. [[Kal Penn]] plays his [[Buddy film|friend]] Kumar, a second generation [[India]]n whose family assumes he will become a doctor like his father and brother, though he does not want to. The two simply want to smoke [[marijuana]] and put off making adult decisions.<ref name="Movie Web">Snyder, Blake, undated, movieweb.com. [http://www.movieweb.com/movies/film/73/2373/review532.php Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)]. Accessed 4 December 2007.</ref>


While smoking some marijuana in their apartment one evening, they see a TV ad for [[White Castle (restaurant)|White Castle]] and decide to make a [[Road picture|trip]] for some [[hamburgers]]. Finding a White Castle ends up being more difficult than they imagined, and they find themselves on a chaotic [[road trip]] full of drug-fueled, [[Political correctness|politically incorrect]] [[philosophy]].<ref name="Movie Web"/>
Harold Lee, working at an investment bank, is told to finish some important files over the weekend by two co-workers, who are in fact slacking off in order to party with some girls. Meanwhile, his best friend Kumar Patel is being interviewed for medical school. Harold calls him, and Kumar is preoccupied with the conversation, telling Harold that they are going to hang out and smoke [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]], whether Harold wants to or not. Kumar's interviewer overhears the entire conversation and promptly rejects Kumar from medical school - although Kumar bluntly states he has no real interest in doing medicine despite his perfect [[Medical College Admission Test|MCAT]] scores.


During their [[quest]] for a 24-hour White Castle, and the perfect burgers they imagine will be there, their trip becomes more and more bizarre. They eventually are attacked by a raccoon, take a surrealistic ride on an escaped cheetah and pass themselves off as surgeons (in the hopes of finding access to [[medical marijuana]]).<ref name="Movie Web"/>
Later on, Harold returns to their apartment building. He goes into the elevator and finds that he is next to Maria, his crush. He chickens out and does not say anything to her. After enduring an awkward elevator ride, Harold goes to the apartment he and Kumar share. Harold walks in on a naked Kumar, who is trimming his pubic hair (to Harold's apparent discomfort) with scissors that Harold uses to trim nose hair. Kumar states that he had been using the scissors to trim hair around his anus for months. Harold and Kumar subsequently smoke marijuana, eventually getting the [[munchies]]. After watching television for a while, they see a commercial for [[White Castle (restaurant)|White Castle]] and suddenly have an urge to go there and eat some burgers. They decide to visit a nearby [[White Castle (restaurant)|White Castle]] in [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]]. While driving on the [[Garden State Parkway]], the toll machine does not accept the coins that Kumar has thrown in. Being harassed by cars behind them, Kumar drives off without paying. Harold, paranoid that the cops will pull them over, throws the pair's last joint out of the car and forces Kumar to take an alternate exit, nearly hitting the car on the other lane. They end up taking a detour through [[Newark, New Jersey]], a city with a high crime rate. While there, they witness two men (who are like different versions of them) get assaulted by a gang. Panicking, the duo quickly drive back onto the Parkway. Soon, Harold and Kumar get to [[New Brunswick, New Jersey|New Brunswick]], only to discover that the White Castle over there has been replaced by another fast-food restaurant, whose employees put animal semen in the special sauces. Told by an employee ([[Anthony Anderson]]) that there is another White Castle about 45 minutes away in [[Cherry Hill, New Jersey]], they decide to head there.


A hideous but helpful tow truck driver later proves to have an unbelievably attractive wife. Their excitation when she propositions them, however, is short-lived; when it turns out she expects her husband will [[Group sex|join in]].<ref name="Movie Web"/>
They stop at [[Princeton University]] in [[Princeton, New Jersey]] and visit Harold's friend, Cyndi Kim, who has Harold be her guest of honor at her [[affinity group|East Asian Students Club]] meeting. Kumar looks for someone to sell him marijuana, eventually buying from a "business hippie" (real name: Bradley Thomas), who raises the price of the drug to an unfair level. Two college girls show up, and through some smooth talking, Kumar gets their room number and is told to meet them in 20 minutes to "smoke a little weed, have some fun". He then ditches the hippie and meets up with Harold, who was going with Cyndi Kim to a party. They light up a joint in the hallway, but are soon forced to run away from campus police. They hide inside the women's restroom, which according to Kumar that the cop would not even bother to search for them inside a women's restroom. The two girls enter the bathroom, and Kumar and Harold stand together on a toilet. The boys hear the girls play a game of "Battleshits," where each player has to out-fart the other. Harold accidentally drops the weed into the toilet and runs outside the restroom disgusted, with Kumar running from behind. The two go on and see the party that Cyndi was taking Harold too, and based on what they saw, Kumar tells Harold that it was a mistake not to go to the party. Just moments later, the police catches up with the two again, and Harold and Kumar run off, trying to escape the police. While running, the two college girls greet Kumar, but Kumar just grimaces at them due to what happened in the bathroom, and Cyndi calls over to Harold, but Harold rejects her, as he and Kumar are on the run from the police. The duo run into the "hippie student" and push into him, with the police catching the student carrying a large bag of weed. Harold and Kumar make no delay and exit [[Princeton University|Princeton]], finally escaping the cops.


Buying drugs from a college [[hippie]] ends up being a mistake. It turns out he is self proclaimed "business hippie" who grossly overcharges them.<ref name="Movie Web"/>
The two head off the road when Kumar has to go into to woods to [[urinate]]. Kumar returns to the car, which, unbeknown to both Harold and Kumar, now has a [[raccoon]] in the back seat that crawled into the car when Kumar left the door open. Harold and Kumar do not notice the raccoon until it crawls into the front of the car right in front of Harold and attacks him, making Harold suspect of having [[rabies]]. After throwing the raccoon out of the car, Harold and Kumar nearly drove on the opposite lane and hit another car. Both get ready for the confrontation with the driver until they figure out that the driver is Rosenberg and Goldstein. They chat, and Kumar insists that Harold is fine and they are not going to the hospital, but Harold insists the other way; that he has [[rabies]]. Harold makes Kumar drive him to a hospital for treatment. Once there, they learn Harold is not rabid and attempt to steal [[medical marijuana]]. This hospital visit provides an inconvenient meeting with Kumar's father and brother, both of whom are disgruntled to see again that Kumar is straying away from the medical profession. Kumar apologizes to them and gives them a hug. He steals an access card from them and plans to use it to get marijuana. While looking for marijuana, the two are mistaken for doctors (Kumar as his own brother) and forced to perform surgery on a wounded man. After a failed attempt to convince the nurse that marijuana is needed to sedate the patient, Kumar performs flawless surgery on the patient. After the patient is revived, Kumar asks him directions to the Cherry Hill White Castle.


They blow off what they think will be a boring, highbrow gathering with an ethnically-identified collegiate club for "[[One_night_stand#Sexuality|some fun]]" with two [[promiscuous]] college girls. The pair discovers, though, that their hot dates are gross and their intellectual friends really know how to [[party]].<ref name="Movie Web"/>
Harold and Kumar see Maria outside a movie theater. While Kumar is trying to get her attention, Harold panics and presses the gas pedal and flees the scene. The car goes out of control, careening down a wooded embankment directly downhill, nearly hitting a tree, and getting a flat tire. Since Harold has no spare (thanks to Kumar and Goldstein throwing it into a river to see if it would float, without Harold's knowledge), the duo is forced to accept help from a passing tow truck driver named Freak Show. Freak Show is a hideous man whose face and neck are covered in [[boil]]s. While fixing their tire, Freak Show allows Harold and Kumar to go into his house, even implying that they can have [[Sexual intercourse|sex]] with his wife. Surprisingly, Freak Show's wife is extremely attractive, and she comes on to both Harold and Kumar, offering them [[oral sex]]. However, before anything can happen, Freak Show reenters, forgetting his earlier offer and threatening Harold and Kumar. On being reminded of his proposal, Freak Show suggests a four-way, leading Harold and Kumar to flee, promising never to speak of the incident again.


They also run into [[Neil Patrick Harris]] (playing an [[Child-star syndrome|alternative-reality version]] of himself),<ref name="Movie Web"/> who is strung out on [[ecstasy]]<ref>Internet Movie Database, [http://imdb.com/title/tt0366551/quotes "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle - Memorable Quotes"]. Accessed 11 December, 2007.</ref> and [[hitchhiking]] in the middle of nowhere. Harris plans to use his child star status to get laid. Harold and Kumar later see Harris flying down the road in the car he stole from them while snorting [[Cocaine|coke]] off the [[buttocks]] of a partially naked [[Prostitution|hooker]].<ref name="Movie Web"/>
Back on the road, they pick up [[Neil Patrick Harris]] who is high on [[MDMA|ecstasy]]. While they drive, Kumar decides to stop at a convenience store to ask for directions, leaving Neil Patrick Harris in the car with the keys left in the ignition. While there, the duo meet with the extreme sport hooligans again. The duo is distracted by the extreme sport hooligans who are tormenting an [[India]]n [[convenience store]] [[clerk]] and participating in [[extreme sports|Xtreme kayaking]]. Kumar nearly gets into a fight with one of them. The duo decide to leave the store while the hooligans continue to harass the store clerk. However, as they leave, Neil Patrick Harris steals their car and drives off, leaving the two stuck at the store. Harold really loses it this time and blames Kumar for the disastrous night and refuses to talk to Kumar. Needing a phone to call the police, Harold decides to go back to the store, where the hooligans are still harassing the store clerk. Kumar suggests that Harold use the pay phone across the street. It is red light, and Harold gets impatient waiting for it to turn green. Kumar suggests that he just cross since no one is there. However, as Harold tries to cross the street, a cop suddenly shows up out of nowhere, and threatens them a ticket for jaywalking. The police officer, who is clearly racist, makes fun of Kumar's name and refers to him as [[Apu]]. Kumar, shocked by the charge of the ticket, then rambles on about how bad the police officer is, and Harold has had enough with Kumar's rambling and decides to punch him, but instead punches the cop accidentally because Kumar ducked. Because of this, Harold is beaten and taken to jail. While in prison, he sees the "hippie student" that he encountered with Kumar back at [[Princeton University|Princeton]], revealing that the student was sent off to prison for his act (carrying a large bag of weed). Later on, he meets Tarik Jackson, a middle-aged black man who was also imprisoned by the same racist police reading [[Henry David Thoreau]]'s essay ''[[Civil Disobedience (Thoreau)|Civil Disobedience]]''. The man explains he was only captured due to the fact that the criminal turned out to be black; he is, in fact, actually a [[Rutgers University]] professor. He explains how people have picked on him his whole life due to the fact that he is fat, black, can not dance, and has two homosexual fathers, but he finds solace in the fact that he has a very large [[penis]]. He tells him not to get angry, because the universe tends to "unfold as it should". After Tarik Jackson finishes his story, the cops receive an anonymous news about a shooting in the area, to which all the officers respond and leave quickly, with no cops left behind. Suddenly, right after the cops leave, the air duct rumbles, which catches Harold's attention. It turns out to be Kumar, who was the one who made up the story about the shooting. He plans to break Harold out of prison, but Harold refuses because he does not want to get into anymore trouble. Kumar then decides to leave without thinking, but finds himself stuck in the air duct with no way out. But then the air duct breaks and he falls out. Kumar then proceeds to break Harold out of the police station. But before he can, he spots some weed (the same bag of weed that the hippie from Princeton had and was carrying when the same cops arrested him earlier in the scene) and daydreams of a white collar life with the weed, first envisioning a fairy-tale relationship, immediately followed by an abusive one. The daydream is a reference to the Martin Scorcese film [[Raging Bull]]. Kumar then snaps out of his daydream and proceeds to break Harold out, but then the cops come back, yet with another innocent African-American, and accuses Tarik Jackson of trying to escape, which, in reality, was actually Harold trying to escape. The cops open the door and massacre towards Tarik, giving Harold and opportunity to break out. Harold and Kumar hesitate for a little due to the current situation, but the guy who was arrested suggests that they just both leave there quickly, which they do.


Stealing a truck from a stupid, macho jock allows them to uncover the jock’s secret love of cheesy ballads.<ref name="Movie Web"/>
Shortly after escaping, Harold and Kumar smoke some of the weed and spot a runaway cheetah. After it smokes some weed as well, they proceed to ride the cheetah through the woods. But Harold is knocked unconscious after falling off of the cheetah and dreams about having sex with Maria. He wakes up with Kumar on top of him, discovering that the cheetah has run away and the laptop containing all his work is destroyed. They go to a store and find the extreme sports guys once again taunting them. They eventually throw a rubber ball at Harold's forehead, causing a scar. But remembering what Tarik Jackson said about the universe unfolding as it should, they determine that hope is not lost. They then turn things around by capitalizing on the keys left on the punks' [[Ford Bronco]] hood, and steal it. They realize the extreme sports guys are nothing more than posers as a cassette in the vehicle reveals they listen to romantic ballads sung by female artists.


Happening across Harold’s unrequited crush, they discover that she shares his love of [[John Hughes (film director)|John Hughes]]’ 1980s Americana films.<ref name="Movie Web"/>
After stealing the Bronco they are chased by a cop who is after the punks, causing them to nearly drive off of a cliff. Seeing a White Castle below them, the two take a hang glider from the roof of the jeep and glide down to it, escaping the police. At White Castle, an apologetic Neil Patrick Harris shows up and offers to pay for the food as a sort of peace offering for stealing their car (He also gives Harold an additional $200 to clean out the "love stains" Harris left in the back seat) . After eating their meal, Kumar reflects over the events throughout the movie and concludes that he will go to his interview scheduled that day. Meanwhile, Harold sees the two co-workers from the start of the film pulling into White Castle. Apparently they have been out all night with two women. Now feeling confident in himself, Harold tells off his co-workers, stating he will no longer do their work for them and (quite loudly) threatens to tell everybody that they contracted [[gonorrhea]] from two hookers; ending any chance the co-workers might have with the women, who were listening nearby.


After being arrested by a [[racist]] cop for looking different, the two encounter an African-American man, arrested, of course, [[Racial profiling|for being black]]. The pair break out of jail and steal a huge bag of marijuana from the police before returning to their on-going quest for [[fast food]] nirvana.<ref name="Movie Web"/>
Arriving back at their apartment building, the pair runs into Harold's love interest, Maria, and he kisses her. She says she is going on a trip to [[Amsterdam]]. Kumar persuades Harold that the two should join her on her trip to Amsterdam because marijuana is legal there. On the TV news, it is reported that Tarik Jackson was released from jail, the punks were arrested, the police that arrested Harold and Kumar were arrested, and that the authorities are looking for the two men. The pictures, drawn based on their descriptions, show a stereotypical Asian with squinting eyes in a [[conical straw hat]] and a [[Sikh]] in a [[turban]].

In the end, the duo gets their sticks and sliders, finds a small measure of revenge against Harold’s co-workers and have their car returned by a repentant Harris. As they dine on their burgers, Kumar observes that there are many kinds of “burgers” in America, and all he really wants is the right to enjoy them all.<ref name="Movie Web"/>

==Racial issues and stereotypes==
[[Image:Haroldandkumar14.jpg|thumb|right|Harold meets a man who was thrown in jail for being black.]]

Harold says he is constantly faced with the stereotype of the "intelligent and nerdy East Asian guy," but fears being called a [[Twinkie]]—"yellow on the outside, white on the inside"— by his Asian friends. He also states that, whether he likes it or not, he will probably end up marrying a typical Asian girl like Cyndi Kim instead of his perhaps culturally-unacceptable, interracial crush, Maria. When Harold's co-workers dumped their work on Harold in the opening sequences, they smirkingly quipped: "those Asian guys just love to crunch numbers."

Kumar, despite having incredible [[Medical College Admission Test|MCAT]] scores, refuses to attend [[medical school]] as his family wishes, explaining that "just because you're hung like a moose doesn't mean you have to do porn." Also, he's "afraid of being one of those nerdy [[India]]n guys turned doctor."

Rosenberg and Goldstein are Harold and Kumar's [[Jew]]ish friends/counterparts. Rosenberg wears a [[yarmulke]], they smoke pot from a [[shofar]] and speak with [[Yiddish]] accents.

Racism at the hands of local police is also explored in the movie. When Harold begins jaywalking across the street to use a pay phone, a white police officer named Palumbo tickets him, is unwilling to even listen to the suggestion that [[Neil Patrick Harris]] has stolen his car. After a minor argument which ends with Harold accidentally punching the officer, he is taken to the local police station.

Harold finds that his cellmate Tarik, a Rutgers professor, has been charged with theft, just for accurately fitting the description of an [[African American]] robbery suspect from Newark. When Kumar makes a false report of gunfire coming from a black man to bust Harold out, the police capture another [[African American]] man who was at home—away from the crime scene. At the end of the movie, Tarik and the other African American man, Nathaniel, file a lawsuit alleging discrimination against the local police. Led by Palumbo, the police angrily protest the lawsuit, referring to Tarik and Nathaniel as [[darky|Darkie]]s. When they describe Harold and Kumar to a sketch artist, the sketch yields a stereotypical and racist drawing of people from China and India.

Though ''Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle'' takes places in the state of New Jersey, it was filmed almost entirely in [[Canada]]. Below are some filming facts:
Though ''Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle'' takes place entirely in [[New Jersey]], it was filmed in numerous other locations including [[Ontario]], [[Canada]] and the [[University of Southern California]], [[Los Angeles]], [[California]] along with several New Jersey locations.<ref>Internet Movie Database, [http://imdb.com/title/tt0366551/locations "Filming Locations for Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle"]. Accessed 11 December 2007.</ref>

- The actual White Castle Restaurant in [[Cherry Hill, New Jersey]] was filmed at the now-closed [[Swift Burger]] Restaurant in [[Caledon, Ontario]], [[Canada]]. The ending scene looks nothing like the real, relatively flat, heavily suburbanized [[Cherry Hill, New Jersey|Cherry Hill]]. In reality, at least four White Castles are within five miles of [[Hoboken, New Jersey|Hoboken]] where Harold and Kumar reside: [[Jersey City, New Jersey|Jersey City]], [[Manhattan]], [[Union City, New Jersey|Union City]], and [[North Bergen, New Jersey|North Bergen]].<ref>[http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/find.asp?frm_city=&frm_state=&frm_zip=07030&frm_radius=5/ White Castle locations within 5 miles of Hoboken]</ref> Additionally, there is indeed a White Castle location in New Brunswick, New Jersey, at 680 Somerset Street.<ref>[http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/find.asp?frm_city=&frm_state=&frm_zip=08901&frm_radius=10/ White Castle locations in New Brunswick]</ref> The film suggests that White Castle locations are few and far between in New Jersey, while there are actually 24 restaurants in the state. In addition, White Castle is primarily a Great Lakes and mid-western phenomenon; [[Michigan]], [[Ohio]], [[Indiana]], [[Kentucky]], [[Tennessee]], [[Illinois]], [[Missouri]], [[Wisconsin]], and [[Minnesota]] have White Restaurants. [[New Jersey]], [[New York]], and [[Connecticut]] are the only three states in the northeast that have actual White Castle restaurants.<ref>[http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/retailerpopup.asp?state=New%20Jersey White Castle locations in New Jersey]</ref>. For historical purposes, a White Castle once stood in [[Pennsauken, New Jersey]], which borders Cherry Hill. This location no longer exists, and has since been replaced by a Super [[Wawa Food Markets|Wawa]]. As of September 11, 2007, there are two White Castle restaurants in [[Newark, New Jersey]] <ref>[http://www.whitecastle.com/_pages/Locate.asp White Castle locations within the Newark city limits]</ref>

- The opening office scene was filmed at the Steelestech office building located on the border of [[Toronto]] and Markham on the Toronto side. A few scenes were also shot in [[Mississauga]] and [[Etobicoke]], [[suburb]]s west of Toronto. Most of the college scenes were also filmed in [[Canada]] &mdash; at the [[University of Toronto|University of Toronto's]] [[Hart House]] and [[Knox College]]. The scene before Kumar's medical interview was a shot of Bovard Auditorium on the campus of the [[University of Southern California]]. In the scenes shot in Canada, Canadian retail companies such as [[Shoppers Drug Mart]] and [[Country Style]] can be seen in the background. Additionally, in the interior gas station scene, Canadian cigarette brands can be seen to the right of the American brands.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}

Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (released in some countries as Harold & Kumar Get the Munchies) is a comedy movie released in 2004. The plot revolves around the two title characters, who decide to go to the fast food restaurant White Castle after smoking marijuana, only to find themselves on a series of comical misadventures instead.

The film was written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, and directed by Danny Leiner. Starring Kal Penn and John Cho, it also features appearances by Paula Garcés, Anthony Anderson, Dan Bochart, Ethan Embry, Jamie Kennedy, Bobby Lee, Christopher Meloni, Ryan Reynolds, Shaun Majumder, David Krumholtz, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Neil Patrick Harris (credited as playing "Neil Patrick Harris", he plays a fictionalized version of himself).

The movie was fairly well-received by critics, with a 72% "Fresh" rating at Rotten Tomatoes,[1] and a sequel, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, is currently in the works.

Plot

John Cho plays Harold, a young Korean man working at his first job in banking, sick of his Caucasian co-workers' assumption that, as an Asian, he surely must love to crunch numbers. Kal Penn plays his friend Kumar, a second generation Indian whose family assumes he will become a doctor like his father and brother, though he does not want to. The two simply want to smoke marijuana and put off making adult decisions.[2]

While smoking some marijuana in their apartment one evening, they see a TV ad for White Castle and decide to make a trip for some hamburgers. Finding a White Castle ends up being more difficult than they imagined, and they find themselves on a chaotic road trip full of drug-fueled, politically incorrect philosophy.[2]

During their quest for a 24-hour White Castle, and the perfect burgers they imagine will be there, their trip becomes more and more bizarre. They eventually are attacked by a raccoon, take a surrealistic ride on an escaped cheetah and pass themselves off as surgeons (in the hopes of finding access to medical marijuana).[2]

A hideous but helpful tow truck driver later proves to have an unbelievably attractive wife. Their excitation when she propositions them, however, is short-lived; when it turns out she expects her husband will join in.[2]

Buying drugs from a college hippie ends up being a mistake. It turns out he is self proclaimed "business hippie" who grossly overcharges them.[2]

They blow off what they think will be a boring, highbrow gathering with an ethnically-identified collegiate club for "some fun" with two promiscuous college girls. The pair discovers, though, that their hot dates are gross and their intellectual friends really know how to party.[2]

They also run into Neil Patrick Harris (playing an alternative-reality version of himself),[2] who is strung out on ecstasy[3] and hitchhiking in the middle of nowhere. Harris plans to use his child star status to get laid. Harold and Kumar later see Harris flying down the road in the car he stole from them while snorting coke off the buttocks of a partially naked hooker.[2]

Stealing a truck from a stupid, macho jock allows them to uncover the jock’s secret love of cheesy ballads.[2]

Happening across Harold’s unrequited crush, they discover that she shares his love of John Hughes’ 1980s Americana films.[2]

After being arrested by a racist cop for looking different, the two encounter an African-American man, arrested, of course, for being black. The pair break out of jail and steal a huge bag of marijuana from the police before returning to their on-going quest for fast food nirvana.[2]

In the end, the duo gets their sticks and sliders, finds a small measure of revenge against Harold’s co-workers and have their car returned by a repentant Harris. As they dine on their burgers, Kumar observes that there are many kinds of “burgers” in America, and all he really wants is the right to enjoy them all.[2]

Characters

  • Harold Lee (John Cho)—A Korean American investment banker.
  • Kumar Patel (Kal Penn)—An Indian American medical school candidate and Harold's roommate and best friend.

  • The Extreme Sports Punks—A group of racist skateboarding poseur punks who torment Harold and Kumar throughout the movie.
  • Rosenberg (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Goldstein (David Krumholtz)—Harold and Kumar's Jewish counterparts and friends. They're stereotypical Jewish Americans, as they combine Yiddish and Hebrew in their conversations and occasionally talk about Israel, and they are seen using a Shofar-shaped bong. They are friendly counterparts to Harold and Kumar who start and finish their own journey for food at Hot Dog Heaven instead of a White Castle. Their names are not actually Manny and Chevitz although Kumar humourously refers to them as such.
  • Cindy Kim (Siu Ta)—Harold's female Korean friend who attends Princeton.
  • Burger Shack Employee (Anthony Anderson in a cameo appearance)—A fast food chain employee who gives Harold and Kumar directions.
  • Freakshow (Christopher Meloni)—A religious tow truck driver who repairs Harold's car, and is covered in boils.
  • Liane (Malin Åkerman)—Freakshow's attractive wife.
  • Bradley Thomas (Hippie Student) (Dov Tiefenbach)—A Princeton drug dealer.
  • Christy (Kate Kelton) and Clarissa (Brooke D'Orsay)—Attractive Princeton girls who invite Kumar to their room.
  • Officer Palumbo (Sandy Jobin-Bevans)—A White racist police officer.
  • Neil Patrick Harris (in a cameo appearance) — A drug-crazed, skirt-chasing version of himself.
  • Tarik Jackson (Gary Anthony Williams) and Nathaniel Brooks (Gary Archibald)—Two black men, the former a professor at Rutgers, the latter an attorney.
  • Dr. Patel (Errol Sitahal)—Kumar's father.
  • Saikat Patel (Shaun Majumder)—Kumar's brother.
  • Nurse (Ryan Reynolds)—A nurse who works at the same hospital with Kumar's father and older brother.
  • Billy Carver (Ethan Embry)—A White financial investment executive and Harold's superior.
  • J.D. (Robert Tinkler)—Billy's co-worker.
  • Creepy Guy (Jamie Kennedy in a cameo appearance)—A man who urinates directly next to Kumar.
