    Most of them since he done the hangover isn't that great anyways. Due date looks promising because of the of cast, but the trailer didn't seem all that funny.

    you wouldn't have an issue if the company you worked for hired a racist and sexist man with obvious anger issues and asked him to work directly with you?

    still having a hard time figuring out how this line of thinking is dominating. there could be a ton of explanations:

    1. As noted, Tyson has already "paid" for his crimes and they are in the considerable past, whereas Mel is a psycho today.

    2. Zack G. wasn't in a position before to have this impact. If he said he wasn't working with Mike Tyson before, he would have been laughed at. Does that make him somewhat hypocritical? Sure, but it's a reality. He made a choice at that point that brought him to the point where he is now, which allows him to make a different choice.

    3. Zack G. is a different person now? Maybe before he really didn't care. Now he does.

    It's odd that people seem so. upset with Zack G. for changing his mind, or exercising his newfound power as an actor (as most would say he was the key actor in the first movie), to make a call that by all rights makes a lot of sense.

    Nearly every single person that has ever worked with Mel Gibson, absolutely loves him.

    He can be an angry drunkard, but I really do think he is a decent person.

    He made Braveheart...

    Braveheart...

    dont kid yourself - mike tyson is a psycho today too.

    what "crime" did gibson commit other than drunk driving? anti-semitism is not a crime in this country. and its not a crime to scream at your wife. the domestic violence allegations are to this date, nothing more than allegations - he was never charged w/ any crime in that regard.

    and what exactly is the statute of limitations on rape vs. anti-semitism? if you raped someone 15 years ago its ok, but if you made anti-semitic comments w/in the last year its bad?

    im only upset as someone who will probably pay money to see this in the theaters - i think the movie would have been more outrageous and over the top w/ gibson and if you are going to make a sequel to a movie like the hangover you must kick it up a notch - when presented w/ the opportunity to get hard-core these guys pussed out and the movie shall suffer for it.

    i think he is a psycho - listening to those phone calls was disturbing. i dont care how drunk he was, sane people do not lose control to the degree he did.

    but i would have loved to see him in the hangover and i still think he is a genius film director. he is the embodiment of great art often coming from dark places.

    apocalypto!

    Nobody care about Hangover 1 or 2. Max Rockatansky is too good for that POS role.

    In the end Mike Tyson didn't make Hangover everything that it was. It was funny that he was in it, but it would have been funny without him as well.

    I don't feel bad that a psycho, racist, misogynist like Mel Gibson has some consequences for his actions. I'm actually glad to see people care about bad behavior and that it doesn't get rewarded.

    It is a movie...SHEESH !!!

    Who the **** cares what actors think or say?

    It is a MOVIE........for crying out loud, it is not like they are going on TV and announcing their DECISION.

    Bad move. They needed to stick with Mel Gibson in the role and work it in a way that he goes into a rant like he did on the phone calls. It could have been so good. Liam will be fine...but Mel would have been epic.

    Mike Tyson could probably kill somebody and still get work. In fact, it's probably the only thing he hasn't done at this point. Or, has he?
