Arguably, the best “scene” in all of Todd Philips’ break-out hit comedy, “The Hangover” — that made bonafide stars out of Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper, and to a lesser extent Ed Helms — is the closing credits.
The gutbustingly hilarious, hard R-rated section of the film imbues everything that the “what stays in Vegas” mantra represents, only it hasn’t stayed in Vegas. It’s on the screen, it’s outrageous and it’s presented in photo form, as the characters find their digital camera and find out exactly what happened to them when they blacked out in Sin City. It’s a genius touch and a riotous way to end the film.
We’re surprised it took this long for some of these photos to come out (and of course, they’re all the relatively safe ones, there are some that are much, much worse, bordering on X-Rated, and definitely NSFW), but TMZ has nabbed some shots from that ending and they’re pretty damn funny (remember the Carrot Top cameo?). Also featured in these photos are ‘Hangover’ actors Justin Bartha (the straight man of the film) and Ken Jeong who’s always featured in Apatow films.
To relive the memories (or watch that credit sequence over and over again), a two-disc version of “The Hangover” hits stores on December 15. You gotta love how red Galifinakis’ face is in some of these shots. They look so legit.
