Author Topic: Team America: World Police (2004) Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX. (North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-09-2004 12:02 PM                     I think they may have outdone themselves. 1. The version I saw for the sneak on 10/9/04 may have been the one they proposed to the MPAA because it had the puppet sex scene. 2. Incredible puppetry work. 3. There were parts that may be gross. Including a lengthy puking scene that may cause your audience to lose it. 4. Some blood / guts that may disturb others. So, overall 3 out of 5. I would strongly suggest that you have your staff card to enforce the rating. Strong use of language, strong use of body part words such as "C**K, S**T, PU**Y, A**HOLE".  |  IP: Logged Dennis M Dow Jr Expert Film Handler Posts: 141 From: Bloomfield NJ USA Registered: Oct 2003 posted 10-09-2004 10:50 PM                       I thought it was funny but nowhere as good as thier first movie, Orgazmo. Seems they had fun busting on everyone, especially actors 3 outta 5  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 10-09-2004 11:06 PM                     In a word, WOW. Any movie that can make and that damn funny has my approval.

The original had a two minute puppet sex scene, this was cut to 30 seconds to avoid the nc17 banner. I give this movie my award for funniest movie of the year. Without spoiling too much, it was very refreshing to see all sides attacked for what they really are. It was a blast, i will be seeing this again. Damn funny film.

The sex scene left me laughing for a good 5 minutes. And actually, the sound effects actually came alive for a movie of this nature.... 4 out of 5  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-13-2004 12:53 PM                     I haven't seen it yet, but got a pretty good laugh already from the R-rating description: quote: Graphic, crude & sexual humor, violent images & strong language, all involving puppets.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-13-2004 06:47 PM                  I'm sure Brad will hate it cuz I say it's a 5 outta 5! Once again, this team of perverted filmmakers has succeeded in out-doing themselves! While "BASEketball" and "Terror Firmer" were OK funny, not since "Orgazmo" have these uninhibited guys released a funnier and shocking film that spares no group as this film! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-14-2004 04:27 AM                     Although I highly doubt Phil has seen this movie yet, I found it nowhere near as good as Orgazmo or Southpark, both of which earned a solid 5 out of 5. However Team America IS entertaining, some parts moreso than others. I wish the movie would've been a musical like Southpark was, because every time the show kicked into a song, it got laugh out loud funny. My personal favorite is the Pearl Harbor song. Be sure and stay TO THE END of the credits! There are some additional lyrics to the Pearl Harbor song as well as a new song. 3.5 out of 5 For those of you who will be playing this movie at your multiplex, be sure and place it next to some kid movies. Trey Parker clearly designed the end credits to have maximum effect when placed in a complex next to kiddie fare. Just listen to the first minute of the end credits (when people will be exiting the doors and the music will be bleeding into the auditoriums and lobby) and you will see what I mean.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-14-2004 04:35 AM                        I don't understand how a puppet movie could possibly ever get an NC-17 rating. I mean, they're puppets! It's like watching two blocks of wood have sex. Big deal! I haven't seen this yet, but I hope it doesn't get extremely boring like the second half of the South Park movie did when they introduced that French kid who was the lamest character ever, along with the boring Saddam and Satan scenes.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-14-2004 04:42 AM                     Oh, the wooden puppets do have sex, but it's not that. Personally I think the blow job scene was edited to remove "facial evidence". It didn't flow right. The MPAA must've made them cut part of that out.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

What Thunderbirds should have been instead of being updated.  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 10-14-2004 03:10 PM                    I like this movie, and I would actually not mind paying to see it. A couple of times. I'm not sure that it offends everyone... I wasn't offended at all, but maybe I missed something. My one complaint is that these guys have to grow up just a tad. They're funny without the un-necessary language and stuff that's over the top. For some people, that's the only talent they have, and that's fine for them. You can make money with potty humor and cheap repetition of language like that. But these guys clearly don't have to do that, because they're funny on so many other levels. While it is their right to resort to the sophmoric humor, I think they can just be sooo much more successful and reach a much broader audience if they toned it down a bit. Don't get me wrong. I did just say that I don't think anything in the movie offended me. The excessive language didn't offend me. But when the characters say "Jesus T---y F---ing Christ," that sounds to me like the writers were reaching for something that would get a reaction out of the viewers. My only reaction was that it sucked me out of the movie. I have so much more that I could say about this movie, but it would start to take things in a political direction, and I really don't want to do that. But I will say that I enjoyed the movie a lot, especially the sound track! I will sit down and watch it again. Especially with a crowd, it should be an absolute blast!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-14-2004 06:09 PM                  quote: Brad Miller Although I highly doubt Phil has seen this movie yet, I found it nowhere near as good as Orgazmo or Southpark... Grand-Poo-BAH, you have NO idea of what I see and don't see. Your thoughts about that POS "South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut" only reinforces my opinion of your lack of taste for quality filmmaking! What a jerk! Brad, not me! As far as "ORGAZMO" goes... at least we agree on that! How bizarre!
