Alan spirals and the group has to track down Chow to save Doug
Yes. It's in the Main story, the list of only what moves the plot forward to the end of the saga.
Two years later, Chow breaks out of a Thai prison. In the States, Alan has been off his medication for six months and is out of control, and his family talks him into a clinic in Arizona, driven there by Phil, Stu and Doug. On the road, the group is stopped by a crime boss who wants the gold Chow stole. Doug is held as a hostage, and the others have three days to find Chow. The hunt runs through Tijuana and back to Las Vegas.
Days before Part II opened, Phillips said a third film would be a finale and would not follow the earlier template. Part III doesn't run on a blacked-out night. The story becomes a hunt for Chow.
