Story
Question: will they accept two unbearably stupid, stunningly rude and absolutely “frostbitten” “sticks” at the prestigious Harvard University that literally do not let the “jamb” out of hands? Answer: they will, and with great pleasure! Moreover, after admission, our wonderful heroes will immediately be able to "plant" not only all students on the grass, but also the faculty! Old Harvard is living out its last quiet days ... Rap superstars, Method Maine and Redman, demonstrate a convincing reincarnation of two “stoned” and not overburdened by an excess of intelligence young people who became Harvard students. Two black brothers take the university by storm with the help of a powerful smoke attack. And the famous group “Cypress Hill” will help them in this!

Torches 2
In October 2008, Redman announced that the second part of the film is in the middle of the filming process: “We want to introduce it to all smokers” [1] . In April 2009, it was reported that Redman accused Universal Pictures of delaying the film and that they did not give money to shoot the film, adding that “the whole world is waiting for the release of Torchka 2” [2] .
In November 2010, Redman announced that “Blackout! 3 “( approx. Album Method Man & Redman),“ Muddy Waters 2 “( approx. Album Redman) and“ Torchki 2 “. But remember, “Universal” owns the rights to “Torchkov”. They own the names, they own the characters, they own the whole movie. If Red and Meth make the film, we can’t name it Torchki. The only person who can get us out of all this is Keenen Ivory Wayans ” [3] .
In December 2010, Redman confirmed that Universal Pictures really owns the rights to Torchkov, so the chances of Torchkov 2 coming out are slim [4] . In April 2013, Method Man announced on TMZ that the script is currently being written; it was authored by Dustin Lee Abraham, who wrote the script for the first film, but the film’s release will depend on Universal.
