Team America: World Police (2004) Wife's First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!

[@colem6913]

According to Trey Parker and Matt Stone it was apparently excruciatingly difficult making this movie. A simple shot of a puppet turning and walking through a door would take them a dozen takes because of how hard they were to control. I think they said making this movie was the most miserable they'd ever been but it was definitely worth it because the final product is incredible.

[@NostalgicTribe]

I heard they were team players. Are you a team player?

Honestly they probably should have hired better puppet masters. Seems like a skill/talent issue. I've seen puppeteers move puppets amazingly.

[@TheitaniofRome]

They also had to the downthe visual realism with the puppets as it was to uncanny

[@theshadowfax239]

​​​@@nukiesduke6868 I'm not sure you got the joke. Obviously it is difficult to make a movie with puppets, but not because things like turning were hard like the original post said. The puppeteers were purposefully doing wonky puppeting for comedic effect, like the fights, and the pointing and the turning. They could make it all look fluid and realistic if they wanted to, but where's the fun in that?

[@munkeynz]

The South Park creators said it was so difficult dealing with all the puppets and voice overs in this film, that they would never ever ever make another film with puppets again. Apparantly Matt Damon was quoted in a interview stating-"I thought it was brilliant! I mean, I never understood it, and then I heard an interview with them and they said the puppet came in looking kind of mentally deficient and they didn’t have time to change it, so they just made me someone who could really only say his own name."

One of my favorite little throwaway gags in this movie is just the way that they add a subtitle saying how far away from America each location is because a lot of Americans have no idea where other countries are.

It also just shows how Empire America is getting into all these far away countries business constantly when it has minimal impact either way on American life.

I always loved how they are obviously putting so much effort in to the puppetry then intentionally do rudimentary bad puppetry when they walk or fight. Whenever it's funnier to make it obvious they're puppets they'll do that. I wasn't taken off guard by I'm So Lonely because SP: Bigger, Longer and Uncut had Satan's Up There at basically the same point of the movie. As soon as those notes hit it was like "oh, okay, here comes the villain song."

This was specifically done in the style of ‘supermation’ perfected by the creator of The Thunderbirds, where they’re marionettes with ventriloquist style heads. The puppeteers were some of the best in the world and while they could do all the intricate movements of real people Matt Stone and Trey Parker had them purposely play up the joke of the characters being puppets having limited mobility. The opening kung fu was done for real during rehearsal.

Fun fact the design of the puppets were made by The Chiodo Brothers who are most famous for there film Killer Klowns From Outer Space which they made and directed!

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

The puppets were 22 inches tall and took 4 people to puppet one at once. The short on Matt Damon's character in the movie is that the puppet came back looking mentally slow, so they just made Matt Damon in the movie appear to have brain damage or not all there by making him say his own name.

[@Mr-gg8ek]

The hardest I have ever laughed in my life was when I saw the South Park movie in theaters. I had never seen the tv show and was completely unfamiliar with it. I was so sore from heavy laughter at the end I had to legit call in sick the next day. And while Matt and Trey have never won an Oscar, the South Park movie was a nominee for best musical number.

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

One of my favorite tidbits that Parker and Stone have said in interviews was how the initial screenings went with the executive producers of the film who wanted to see how the hundreds of millions of dollars had gone. With the opening scene of the cheap looking French marionette before it pans out and opens up with the broader scene of Paris, one of the producers jumped up out of his seat and yelled "They f***ed us!"
