No Dave Chappelle or Jim Breuer within the sequel

“Abba Zabba, you my solely pal!”

Think about they made a sequel to Half Baked. That feels like a slam dunk, proper? In any case, the unique didn’t set the field workplace on fireplace, but it surely’s presumably made a mint on house video. Effectively, it appears like Common’s lastly obtained a Half Baked 2 within the combine, however of the unique solid, the one particular person to return is Rachel True, who performed the love curiosity, Mary Jane. Effectively, okay, that’s not true. Deadline is reporting that Harland Williams could have a cameo. In order that’s one thing, proper?

All this begs the query, why, twenty-five years later, make a Half Baked sequel with out both Dave Chappelle, an infinitely larger star now than he was in 1998, and Jim Breuer? Chappelle, I type of get – the person is busy and would in all probability value hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands to get, however Jim Breuer? May no person reduce the SNL alum a examine?

In what ought to come as no shock, Half Baked 2 comes from Common’s 1440 Leisure, which is their low-budget DTV label. They lately made the 2 very unlikely sequel/prequels of all time, R.I.P.D 2: Rise of the Damned and Blade of the 47 Ronin.

Rachel True can be joined in Half Baked 2 by Dexter Darden (from The Maze Runner), Moses Storm, Jeff Ross, David Koechner and Frankie Muniz, of all individuals. It’s directed by Michael Tiddes (filling in for the wildly underrated Tamra Davis) and centres across the Chapelle character’s son. Effectively, okay then – at the least they haven’t changed Chapelle, however why hassle making a Half Baked 2 with out Chappelle or Breuer?

Shaggy dog story – years in the past on the Sundance Movie Competition, I had a beer with Tamra Davis (a extremely cool girl) and talked about that after I labored at a video retailer in my youth, we may by no means make a copy of Half Baked in inventory, as a result of the stoners that rented it at all times forgot to return it. I’ve my doubts the sequel could have fairly the identical endurance.
