Ending / spoiler

(1 vote)

After winning the appeal of his expulsion, Van must pass five classes during the remainder of the semester in order to graduate. He crams night and day, with the help of his sidekick Taj, sickboy, and countless geek friends. He passes four, with one left go. His nemesis is the professor for the final exam, and Van seems to have flunked the test because he seems disoriented during the test, and also because he was the last one to leave. The professor goes to his apartment to tell him that he passed. Afterwards, a huge Hawaii-theme party is thrown, and his father shows up. His father takes back the comment he made about Van earlier, about how his college years were a bad investment. Van also gets with Gwen Pearson (Tara Reid).

Continuity mistake: During the scene when Van and his friends are riding in Van's golf cart, just after Van has sex with the secretary, the guy in the back is seen being licked on the face by the bulldog. When the camera cuts to Van he's not being licked. When the camera cuts to Van's assistant he's being licked again. This happens over and over. (00:15:53)

Gwen: Well, I think it takes a lot more than the kind of underwear one wears to define them as a person.
Van Wilder: Like what?!

Trivia: The titular character of the movie is based on comedian Bert Kreischer, specifically a Rolling Stone article written about him when he was in his sixth year at FSU and told the story of "the top party guy at the top party school." The writeup eventually become a movie concept that Oliver Stone acquired the rights to, but the deal fell through and the writers sold it to National Lampoon. Kreischer himself was not involved in the movie, however.
