I remember Stone and Parker were asked what they had against Matt Damon. They said nothing, its just that the puppet came out of the mold wrong. So they went with it.
The weird thing about the 'satire' though is that ultimately they're saying that America should be allowed to just fuck everything up because if they don't, nothing will be solved. It's actually kind of a fucked up, tacit approval of the Bush administration when you think about it
I saw it in a theater, and I swear I’ve never heard anybody laugh as loud as two girls in the row ahead of me at the sex scene. I was laughing pretty loud too, but they were losing it, and when they seemed to stop, they’d start all over again. Trey & Matt sure reached them.
My face was sore from laughing so much as i left the cinema. I'd love to go back and watch it again with my friend i went to see it with. Haven't seen her for years.
It's a shame that the production of this movie was apparently an absolute nightmare. For example: all these miniature sets, had to be build, blown up and then rebuild, because the first shot wasn't good. Also, they were working parallel on a Southpark season with 20 episodes at the time. According to Stone & Parker, this was the most miserable experience they had, working on a movie. When the whole thing was finit, everyone was just relived. That's why they refuse to make a sequel.
luckily a new team can take charge of this. but what a sequel would have in store is tricky when this is a parody of America being the badass of the world at the time
Plus, Matt and Trey overestimated how much they could pull off with marionettes compared to traditional animation. You could see them poking fun at their limitations in certain scenes, like the one-on-one "Fisticuffs" between a Team American Member and Terrorist in Paris. Factor in how frustratingly cumbersome they found operating them, it's no wonder they refused to do a sequel nor attempt another comedy using this method.
Well I was about 8 or 9 when this came out. Loved Thunderbirds and stingray and we'd seen nothing about this prior to seeing it in a shop on VHS. Got home and put it on and my mum came in wondering why me and my brother were giggling like hyenas. Obviously we didn't really understand some of it like the sec scene but she was mortified because she thought it were like Thunderbirds too. 😂
I've got Thunderbirds Are Go on DVD. I wanted to see the movie until I found out it was live action. What's the point? Like pro wrestling, everybody knew it was fake, but that's the fun of it.

When this movie came out opening day. Some buddies of mine skipped school to go see it. 20 years later its still hilarious. My ribs hurt for 2 days from laughter. Thank you Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Best senior skip day ever 😂
@@HitokiriShingo Very well remembered man, that rhino scene was also one of the most genuinely funny things in the history of cinema. Screenwriters like that don't come along anymore!
I found the Team America submarine torpedo for sale at an online prop auction and snatched it up. I don't think anyone really knew what it was, but it even said "Team America" on the side with juts some of "team" scratched off from production handling or whatever, but I recognized it instantly even though it was only on screen for about two seconds in the movie. Almost 2' long, It's one of my favorite props today.
I saw this when it came out. I went to a small cinema in CHiba city,Japan, with a young lady I was seeing. I was the only non Japanese there. It was in English but with wildly inadequate subtitles in Japanese. I was crying laughing, in danger of a serious medical incident. Nobody else was laughing. The girl I was with was a little embarrassed. I still cry laughing at this masterpeice.
2:20 I love how after that montage of what looks like a very technical and complicated surgery, it still looks like they just put shoe polish and pubes on his face 😂.
This is so easily the greatest movie ever made. Every frame is packed with so much brilliance on so many levels and dimensions its a class of film all in its own. And thats why it can be the greatest movie ever made because while all others compete with each other in some way or form, Team America stands above them all and competes with none.

The opening scene where Team America attacks the terrorists and blows up the entire city of Paris; and the French people who live there, are standing around, slack jawed and simply gob smacked at the damage, they are seeing; is priceless. I damn near died laughing when I saw that in the theater. What an incredible comedy tour de force. Bravo.
I never noticed the 5 terrorists heading down bakalaka daka street are actually, really wearing towels on their heads. Like very clearly towels. Ive seen this movie 3 times now over the years. Never caught that 🤣
