Neeson 'Hangover' Cameo Cut, Replaced
Source: Variety
It's the cameo that just won't cooperate - much internet ado was made when it was first revealed that "Mad Mel" Gibson was to have a brief cameo in Todd Phillips' 'The Hangover, Part II' as a gruff Thailand tattoo artist. So much so that the cast of the film actually refused to work until Gibson was removed from the picture. The producers agreed and Mel was replaced with veteran actor Liam Neeson as the swarthy and intimidating tattooist. However, it seems that the role has once again been re-cast and re-shot, leaving Neeson's work entirely on the cutting room floor.
It wasn't out of malice or spite, however - Neeson's scene was just a "victim of coicumstance" as it were. During the editing process, Phillips ended up cutting the scene directly after Neeson's cameo. As the sequel is much like the first film (with the main characters going back over the night's events like a drunken mystery), cutting the adjacent scene left a hole in the story and eliminated crucial information that "The Wolf Pack" needed to logically get from where they were to the next scene. Philips decided to reshoot the cameo scene to include new dialog to fill in the blanks, but Neeson was sadly unavailable as he is currently shooting the sequel to 'Clash of the Titans' in London.
Faced with a looming deadline and unable to wait for Neeson to become available, Philips decided to re-shoot the scene using actor/director Nick Cassavetes in the role of the tattoo artist, and "crushed it" according to the filmmaker. 'The Hangover, Part II' arrives in theaters on May 26th.

the whole thing sounds really stupid though, so the dumbass director cut the scene before even checking to see if it was an important scene to the plot? which it apparently happened to be...now that was just a stupid move

this shouldnt even be considered a cameo anymore, everyone knows about it, which defeats the purpose, the whole point of a cameo is for the audience to be able to react in a "o hai look its so-and-so, i didnt think they'd be in this movie"

@QbanKnight - Thank you. I thought so to :). That's why the cameo in Zombieland worked so well. No one knew about it until they saw it!

@ jean genie
I can understand where people come from with it but I don't get why it's ok to see a movie filmed by a known rapist, reformed criminal, but yet they have an issue with someone who spews hate filled words yet hasn't done anything that is publicly known/proven to make someone think they just have personal demons they need to get taken care of.
I personally feel that if your going to avoid a movie staring an actor based on how they act in real life then you should be doing that with all actors/directors who have shown the same thing, otherwise your not avoiding the movie based on a persons actions your avoiding it based on how you feel about said person, which comes off as hypocrisy.
ultimately i want to be entertained when i watch a movie and as long as the actor, actress, director can make a convincing story and make me believe somewhat that what i'm watching will do that i'll see them no matter how crazy, stupid, messed up their personal life is. example would be charlie sheen, the guy has real personal issues but watching him do some internet videos that are scripted where he makes fun of himself he is a talented actor and funny to watch, so i will watch him act (tired of seeing interviews with him)

@ ricky L.
You make good points about how Mel Gibson has issues and clearly has not bothered to do anything about them, however I have to disagree on the fact that people base whether they will see a movie with a specific actor based on his personal life. I absolutely feel like Mel Gibson is a horrible person but i enjoy the movies he has been in and am willing to at least rent them to see them, I will not stop seeing a movie based on what someone says in real life because if that was the case then i would never pay another cent for a james cameron film due to his douche bag comments about how he came up with the idea for avatar long before anyone came up with dances with wolves, or halo or whatever else because he is james cameron.
After seeing the full trailer for the hangover part 2 i have to say i have no interest in watching the same movie in a different location, they couldn't even come up with a new plot in anyway based on that trailer, so whether mel gibson, liam neeson, nick cassavetes, or god is playing a tattoo artist in this i have no interest in seeing it at this point.

this sort of thing happens all the time. The fact that it is happening at the 59th minute of the final hour is a bit disturbing. But as long as the monkey is still there. There is something funny about a monkey and a wenis, no mater what the language.....

@Fungus - Maybe he was just going through the COOL SH*T bar and saw that.

@Fungus - That point is kind of redundant when the title of the article paraphrases the entire thing.

@kyle flaharty - Or, conversely - Don't read an article saying "Neeson 'Hangover' Cameo Cut, Replaced" if you don't want to know about the cameos. Seriously, did someone make you click the link?
