Trivia:

Happy Madison moved to Columbia to produce the sequel due to creative differences with Disney. Disney wanted a PG-13 sequel while Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider wanted it to be R-rated like the original.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Rodrigo "Bolas de Madera" is talking to the receptionist, the camera cuts to her in the middle of one of his sentences (right before she asks him how blonde does he want to go). In that shot, Rodrigo's mouth isn't moving at all.

Quotes:

T.J. Hicks: We'll find the killer using your twat-sicle.

After an accident with dolphins and elders on a beach, the clumsy fish tank cleaner and former gigolo Deuce Bigalow (RobSchneider) is invited by his pimp friend T.J. Hicks (Edie Griffin) to travel to Amsterdam where he is presently living. Once there, T.J. Hicks is wrongly taken as a whore-men serial killer. Bigalow joins the gigolo's association trying to find the true identity of the murderer and clean TJ Hicks. Meanwhile, he meets the gorgeous Eva (Hanna Verboom), and while dating her, he suspects that she may be the wanted killer.

"Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" is politically incorrect, rude, gross but also hilarious and extremely funny. There are many jokes with the stereotype and clichés of the behavior of Americans, Dutchmen and Europeans in general. The wonderful Amsterdam is mostly shown in the prostitution area of the Red Light Zone District and some bars where the consumption of drugs are free. There are many jokes also with the behavior of tourists. This movie would be never nominated to an Oscar, but deserved the "Man-Whore Award". This movie is a great entertainment for non-conceited people that accept jokes with stereotypes and like this type of humor. Otherwise, do not spend your time. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Um Gigolô Europeu Por Acidente" ("An European Gigolo by Accident")
