The script for The Hangover: Part 2 is widely inappropriate just the way fans want it, but even the cast was shocked by it the first time they read it!

And filming took place in Bangkok, which made it even more challenging to shoot, especially in the high heat.
“It was the hardest shoot I’ve ever done for sure,” Bradley says. “Nothing ever even came close to it.”
And on top of that, the cast and crew suffered food-related illness and Ed will never forget it.
“It does something to your mind when you get that sick,” he says. “You go to a scared, dark place.”
