I remember this movie well. It was on heavy rotation on the premium cable channels during my high school years. Why were high school children watching this movie? Lack of parental supervision. To answer your questions:
1. The donkey was at the party because of the belly-dancer/stripper/hooker. For performance art that you might usually need to go to Mexico to see.
2. The people were circled around the dancer in expectation of said performance art.
3. Where did the vast array of people come from? Well early in the movie the party looks to be a bust, but as things start getting out of hand in a snowball way word gets out on the street and people start crashing the party. This was common to ’80s party movies.
4. The guy in the helmet who smashed the bottle over his head is Hank’s character’s nut-job friend. That is literally all the character development you need for him. He’s the type of friend who smashes beer bottles on his head and likes it. Why do they go gonzo over seeing a stripper? Because his friends are either sex starved nerds or sex starved married men.
5. The donkey snorts the cocaine because that’s just the kind of donkey he is. He dies of a heart attack. They leave the dead donkey in one of the hotel’s elevators. No questions asked.
So there you have it. The man who starred in this sex comedy romp that also included a scene where the mother of the bride is tricked into grabbing a male stripper’s junk and pulling on it, thinking it’s a hot dog, eventually became the modern day Cary Grant and starred in Saving Private Ryan. Make of that what you will.
