Trailer: Sacha Baron Cohen Is Back To Cause Havoc"},"content":{"rendered":"

In the late \u201890s and early \u201800s, Ali G was a sensation. If he\u2019s since been overtaken by Borat<\/a> in terms of cultural ubiquity, he was once Sacha Baron Cohen\u2019s most famous character \u2013 from Da Ali G Show, to 2002\u2019s big-screen outing Ali G Indahouse<\/a>, and even appearing in Madonna\u2019s \u2018Music\u2019 music video. But it\u2019s been a decade since Ali G last made an appearance, at the 2016 Oscars (a secret until Cohen literally stepped on stage in the role) \u2013 and now, he\u2019s back to trouble Hollywood once more. Ali G: Who Iz I? is the official sequel movie, 24 years after Indahouse, and the first trailer is here.<\/p>\n

Word of an Ali G sequel emerged earlier this year<\/a> when Cohen was spotted filming as the character, and the shroud of secrecy was officially dropped when he showed up at the Wimbledon\u2019s Men\u2019s finals this summer. The sequel \u2013 directed by Cohen himself, his directorial debut \u2013 sees Ali G back to cause more mayhem, while also pondering his own existence in the face of impending fatherhood with his girlfriend Julie (Morgana Robinson). Though, any narrative is really just an excuse for the character to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting public. Who Iz I? arrives six years after Cohen returned as Borat for sequel Borat Subsequent Moviefilm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Does Ali G still work as a character in 2026? Will the film prove just as worthwhile as the surprisingly decent second movie Borat movie? And will he be menacing Madonna again? We\u2019ll find out when Ali G: Who Iz I? hits cinemas on October 23.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the late \u201890s and early \u201800s, Ali G was a sensation.
