The movie might throw people off a little until they realize that Team America is Hollywood's creation for the most part and the actors are portrayed as puppets, whether they're acting or trying to be their liberal selfs.
No politicians at all in the movie, just Kim playing himself... No reality in this movie, just the unreality of Hollywood and Hollywood types. But I do want that bumber sticker that says "America, Fuck Yeah!" and I'll pay $1.05 for it. The more I think about this movie the more genius I see. I may go see it again just so I can sing along. |

looks like i need to go see it sometime next week.
Wanted to go to day, just couldn't make it. |
|
Men and women, whites and spades. |
|
|
I saw it today... Damn good!!! Any one catch the song in the bar in cairo? LOL
|
|
Just got back from seeing this movie...if you haven't seen it yet, stop what you're doing right now and GO SEE IT!
|

Amazing... think of the age group that this is largely targeted at... the South Park crowd... lots of 18-30 year olds that just got inundated with the message that while our current plan ain't perfect, we are taking the fight to the terrorists and we are winning... and the answer is not to stick your head in the sand... This might hurt Kerry a little as it gets people to think and rips that age group's hero Moore to shreds!

The whole bar was straight out of Star Wars |

Was I the only one standing up and cheering as each member of F.A.G. was killed, one by one?
Sarandon's death was beautifull. S-P-L-A-T! |
|
I actually preferred Janine Garafalo's exit... |
|

Nobody talk about the sex scene? Didn't know puppets can be so flexible
|
|
The other thing it's mockiing is Jerry Bruckheimer summer action flicks, and it was pretty hilarious at that. The team members all have dopey problems from their past that they have to talk about in the middle of an assault. And I liked the Deanna Troi knockoff "counselor" that just voiced the bloody obvious in any given situation.
It was funny, but I don't think as gut-bustingly funny as "Louder, Longer, Uncut." Though I did like the faux-country tune "buck-o-five" and "America: Fuck Yeah!", including the downtempo version. |
|
OMG ! That was the best movie EVER !!!!
I laughed my ass off the whole way through. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS MOVIE !!!!!! |
|
Team America World Police was the funniest movie Ive seen all year!
it was hard core for a puppet movie though *lots of dirty talk and cussing *hard core sex scenes with puppets *extreme violence [puppets getting their head blown off or blown up] *lots of cool special effects with models, puppets shooting machine guns, etc. [m16's with Beta C mags, AK47's, SKS, shotgun, rocket launchers, missiles, WMD's] "Jihad , Jihad"! |

When he comes out of surgery to look like a mid-easterner
When they show his new turbin when he goes to Egypt "You know the sign to give when you're in trouble, right?" And when he's in the jeep giving the sign The sex scene was hilarious! But, there were as many kids in the theatre as adults and most didn't have parental supervision. Bet the parents have a lot of questions to answer when they got home huh? Ahh, doubt they even cared that their kids saw the movie... |
|
And of course, the ENTIRE movie is one GIANT rip on hollywood... S.A.G. becomes F.A.G. The World Police 'need' an actor to win their battles... Peter Jennings rips on actors for "Telling the world what they red in the newspaper afterwards" Michael Moore blows himself up, but fails to kill anyone Kim Jong Il has a James Bond complex (in real life, too), thinks he's Blofeld (down to the sharks & panthers)... When the world tries to solve problems 'their own way', they send Hans Blix, who gets dumped into Blofeld-er-Il's fish-tank.. |

I still need to see this movie!
Here is a review that I found: TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE / A- U.S. Release Date: October 15, 2004 Distributor: Paramount Director: Trey Parker Producer: Scott Rudin (Executive) Composer: Harry Gregson-Williams MPAA Rating: R (graphic, crude and sexual humor, violent images and strong language all involving puppets) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Puppet Masters of the Universe" by C.A. Wolski Bad boys Trey Parker and Matt Stone are at it again; this time with marionettes. The duo responsible for the foul-mouthed brats of South Park have cranked their sacred cow grinder to high speed with Team America-World Police in which they puree every taboo subject they can get their hands on, from AIDS to peace activism to the war on terrorism. In the process, they have delivered one of the best satires in a long, dry season. Reminiscent of the 1960s TV show Thunderbirds, Team America concerns the exploits of a group of gung-ho American super-commandos who wage an unrelenting war against terrorists in their search for WMDs. Guided by a sense of patriotism and the boozy hand of their leader Spottswoode (voiced by Daran Norris), the team swoops down wherever a terrorist is located by the group's computer I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. (Phil Hendrie) and dispatches the bad guys in bloody melees that do more damage than any WMD possibly could. Joining the group of seasoned professionals is Gary (director Trey Parker), an actor whose skills are crucial to Team America's ability to wage war on the terrorists. But it turns out that the terrorists are really just pawns in a larger plot by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il (Trey Parker, again), who has a nefarious plan to turn the entire world into a third world slum. Like their marionette heroes, Parker and Stone take no prisoners in their pursuit of satire. The opening sequence, which finds the team dispatching terrorists in Paris, sets the tone for the entire picture, with the simple-minded heroes saving the French capital while at the same time destroying it—a not too subtle jab at the war on terror. And while Kim Jong Il is the ostensible bad guy, the movie has much more fun lampooning activist celebrities—particularly Alec Baldwin (who was, along with his animated brothers, blown up in South Park: Longer and Uncut)—who sound off ignorantly about every subject under the sun. The final sequence, which has the team squaring off against an array of stars from Sean Penn to Tim Robbins makes the over-the-top violence of Kill Bill: Volume One look tame. There is almost a pornographic glee in the loving way each act of violence is depicted, echoing the Jerry Bruckheimer source material that served as inspiration for the flick. The movie also offers up a heady dose of sex—with the puppets, lacking obvious genitalia, demonstrating an imaginative and acrobatic array of techniques in the attenuated scenes that originally earned the movie an NC-17 rating. Though crude, the sex scenes are among the comic highlights—adding an almost surreal, absurdist, yet graphic quality that makes them ridiculous and laughable. A later sexual encounter may put some viewers off (and is not intended for viewers under 17), but it is so goofy that it can only elicit laughs, not gasps of disbelief. And the only way to believe puppet sex is to see it. Like South Park, the movie also has musical numbers, which again display Parker and Stone's brilliant comic writing skills. Among them are "Everyone Has AIDS" (from a fictional musical starring hero Gary) and Kim Jong Il's balladic lament "I'm So Ronry." The best piece of musical writing however is the Team America Anthem, "America, F--k Yeah," which is played at the beginning of each mission. The design is retro futuristic with the team wearing flashy uniforms that lack any subtlety, and a terrific base located inside of Mount Rushmore. Kim Jong Il's fortress North Korea is creepy cool, in the tradition of the James Bond supervillain. Though taking place in a puppet-dominated universe, there are moments when the fourth wall is broken and the puppets enter our world, notably during a montage taking place in Washington, D.C., and later when Gary is driving his motorcycle on a human-sized road. There's nothing significant about either scene. They're just weird. Which is what can be said, more-or-less about the entire movie. It's just plain and wonderfully weird. Jokes fall flat, puppets are creepy, the language gets to be a bit much, but, in the end, the movie is one hell of a fun ride -- f--- yeah. Grade: A- |

This review gets some thing right but not this one. The actual things destroyed in the real terror war that were monuments of any sort are the Buddhist Sculptures in Afghanistan and the World Trade Center. These were destroyed by Terrorists, not US forces. We have gone out of our way to spare important buildings. This mis-representation of who does what is just another technique of Hollywood to bring their leftist agenda and outlook to entertainment. The fact that in the movie they destroyed French stuff is obviously mocking the self-importance of the French. Further mockery is evidenced by the fact that we did save them in WWII and didn't harm these items in the process. We did knock the shit out of German stuff though. |

"Wow! this sure is a nice limo, Mr. Spotswood."
"It sure is, Gary. Now suck my cock!" |
|
omg, the sex scene was funny. I could hardly see it thru the tears.
the drunken vomit scene was pretty good too. lol |
|
Saw it today with my oldest son........Toooo funny!!!
"There's no I in Team America"......"Yes there is" America, Fuck Yeah ETA: I'm Proud to be a DICK !!! |
|
Saw it last night.
When I was leaving the theater in the parking lot I spotted a "hippiemobile" (beat up POS car covered in bumper stickers). On the back was a "Kerry-Edwards" sticker and right above it was "Team America" one. Tells you just how out to lunch some people can be. As for the film, funny as hell. Went to a 1725 showing on Sat and there was only about 30-50 people there. Don't know what the fuck that was about. I really want to go back and watch it with a full house. I was blown away by the attention to detail on the weapons. Whoever did it knew their shit. ETA: WTF? Just checked Amazon and the soundtrack isn't scheduled for release until Nov2? Who decided THAT? |

"Two Beta Mags Up, A Delight!"
I saw it today in a Massachusetts theater - seemed like mostly teenagers watching......some people laughed but I am sure it crushed the dreams of some who were envisioning some gay army of Michael Moore lookalikes crushing evil conservatives. Or something. I was impressed with the film overall. If so, further proof that liberals are not only stupid - they are retarded - to expect a politically correct flick from the creators of South Park. I enjoyed the hell out of the movie - but it is R rated for a reason. |
|
this thread made me want to see it...
went today... THANKS!!!!!!!! |
|
I saw it this evening, and I don't think I have laughed so hard since...well, since the first time I saw South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.
Just an incredibly funny movie...oh, and btw..."America! Fuck yeah!" PS: I'm a dick. Are you a pussy or an asshole? |
|
I think they're Libertarians actually, at least with a small L. One of them once said "I hate conservatives. But I really fucking HATE liberals." |
|
|
Matt Stone and Trey Parker were the guys that made "That's My Bush" that made so many Republicans so mad. Now they make "Team America".
This is why I love those guys, they are true Americans, they make fun of EVERYBODY. Equal Opportunity Destroyers. |
|
I don't remember laughing that hard at any movie. I'm buying it the minute it's on DVD!
|
|
Funniest...movie...ever.... I can't wait for the soundtrack to come out. "America!!! Fuck Ya!!!" |
|
I can honestly say I've never laughed so much at a movie. I was actually brought to tears by the vomitting puppet scene. GREAT MOVIE. FUCK YEAH.
Digital |
|
"I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting lessons"
"Durkha Durkha Allah Jihad" America - Fuck Yeah! |
|
I saw it last night and it was seriously one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. And the crownd was 1/2 to 2/3 older folks who were laughing jsut as hard. Only two people left and that was in the vomitign scene.
|
|
Me too - I couldn't stop laughing when the puppet couldn't stop puking. For a brief second I thought I might pass out I was laughing that damn hard. |
|
|
in the bar in Cairo was HILARIOUS.
the song went "jihad jihad jihad mohammed mohammed" |
|
Well worth it. I may even see it twice in the theater, something I've never done before. |
|
|
I had to ask, Im probaly the cheapest person on the board. |
||
|
I'm going back for seconds....FUCK Yeah!
God I laughed Sooooooo hard.... Something else beautiful about this film, NO (FAG) actors were in this movie, and so therefore, none got paid. Lets hear it for effegies! |
|
The "Duh's" are all confused about what the movie was about .
|
|
the pearl harbor song was great.
"I need you like Ben Afleck needs acting school" or the Montage song "show lots of things happening at once to remind everyone whats going on" |
|
The downtempo version was so good, I loved how they just put they slightest rest in the timing of the chorus..."America! Fuck.......ye-ah!" |
|
|
I love it when she walks in to bar and just shoots everyone!
|
|
Saw it Friday. Nope the movie is not liberal crap and neither are Trey Parker and Matt Stone. You guys need to watch South Park more. There are all kinds of things making fun of liberals in this movie and South Park. |
|
|
Funniest damn movie ive seen in a LONG time.
The songs were the best part....and the "panthers" |
|
Of course, in real life, Muslims don't drink alcohol and therefore have no "bars." "America, FUCK YEAH....so kiss my ass and lick my balls, yeah!" |
