The Hangover 3: “Not just the first Hangover movie in a different country…”

There’s no wedding, there’s no bachelor party, and apparently no crazy (un)forgettable night. About a year ago, Zach Galifianakis let slip that the plot of H3 will be involving him escaping from a mental institute, and since then we’ve learned that his character Alan has a mental breakdown and ends up in a mental hospital because he can’t handle the death of his dad (Jeffrey Tambor). Recently they filmed the funeral scene and Todd Phillips posted this photo on instagram along with others:

There were some others, some that make sense and some that really don’t…

Alan driving a sportscar on the highway with a beer close. Kinda makes sense.

Alan and Doug hanging out in the desert… makes a little less sense, but ok, let’s continue

.

Mr. Chow also in the desert, with what looks like his stunt double in the background

.

 

And I’d say here’s where it gets weird/odd/unexplainable flat out confusing. Here we see Mr. Chow in what appears to be a highway patrol officer’s uniform with a gun pointed at someone… and I thought he got arrested in the last movie… bit of a step up for him.

 

But they continue to get more and more odd… like who are these people…?
Also from Todd Phillips’ instagram:

 

And I think the best part is the cameo’s we might see…
Pretty normal picture of the crew wait, is that John Goodman? What’s he doing there?

 

But jolly-old John Goodman isn’t the only one that seems to be on set for an unknown reason… We could probably be seeing appearances from Melissa McCartney and returning appearances from Heather Graham and Mike Epps.
From Screenrant.com:

Didn’t Stu say he would come back to Las Vegas to get to know her? and then he’s all the sudden met and married a different girl… I think the cameo is overdue.

Mike Epps went on the radio to tell the public that he will be returning to the Hangover series to “play a black guy again…”
From ScreenRant:

Epps played a drug dealer that sells Alan “roofies” by accident, and starts the whole story… what could he do when he returns?

I like hearing rumours about hearing who could possibly be in a scene or two, but I was disappointed that the Hangover 2 didn’t get to have Liam Neeson in it. Originally Neeson was set to play the tattoo artist in Bangkok, but Todd Phillips said it just didn’t happen because of scheduling conflicts, what a shame.

Personally the most disappointing news was that former U.S. president Bill Clinton was not going to be in the movie… Apparently he came to the set unannounced because he was a fan of the first movie. He visited the set and had dinner with the cast, but that’s it.

So what will the Hangover 3 look like and what could we see from it? Todd Phillips, when fans were mad about the Hangover 2 being similar to the first, he responded with: “If something ain’t broke, then why fix it?” but I guess he changed his mind about the third instalment because decided to make this the final chapter for the Wolfpack, and decided to not repeat the template of the first two. Many fans were disappointed with the sequel because the two plots were very similar…
