Trivia

• The audio clip used for Ike's phrase "don't kick the baby" during the opening number "Mountain Town " is the same as the one used in season one's in "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe ".
• When Kenny is denied access to heaven, he falls down to hell. You can see a sign saying "Heaven" as he falls, and the sign says that the population of heaven is 1,656. The population for hell, however, increases from 923,545,421,207 to 923,545,421,267 and counting (due to others dying at the same time going to Hell).
• This is the first out of three times women's breasts are actually seen on women. (Second: "Major Boobage", though they were covered by clothes. Third: "Bebe's Boobs Destroy Society"; Wendy Testaburger's chest was shown unclothed during the surgery scene.)
• Despite the large cast in this movie, Tweek Tweak does not appear in this movie.
• The colors in this movie are a lot darker (or more rarely, brighter) than in the TV series.
• Jesus is seen 3 times in the movie, 1st time in the crowd pan in the briefing room to the left of Officer Barbrady and then seen in the army in the marching scene before Kyle hides Ike in the attic and finally right at the back of the crowd scene at the end.
• Though Conan O'Brien dies before the war, his death was temporary as he is seen in "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub". He was likely revived along with everyone else due to Kenny's wish.
• Saddam died when he was killed by Wild boars and in the end of the movie he dies again. However, he returns to hell in "Do the Handicapped Go to Hell?". He later dies for good in the Season 7 episode "It's Christmas in Canada".
• During the opening song, Kenny wakes up and is in his underwear and seen from behind, making it the first time his hair is seen (though if you freeze frame at the point where he zips his hood up, you can see a lock of his hair and his mouth).
• Kenny removes his hood when he makes his wish at the end of the movie. This is the first time his face is seen in full and the first time his voice is clearly heard. Kenny's voice was provided by Mike Judge. However, whenever unhooded in the series from then on, he is voiced by Eric Stough.
• The main tagline was Uh-Oh.
• When Gregory was sharing his plan with the others, his map of the Canadian internment camp is the same map used in the episode "Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut"
• During the scene where everyone is meeting for "La Resistance", there is a kid resembling Clyde but has longer bangs and longer hair in the back.
• The movie fits in Season three between "Jackovasaurus" and "Sexual Harassment Panda".
• Damien, a character from the episode with the same name and the son of Satan, is seen at the Terrance & Philip movie when the kids watches it the second time. He's sitting on the left of Stan.
• It was never revealed why it took Sheila a long time to remember Ike was a Canadian and how she would've reacted if he was sent to a "Happy Camp".
• Paramount originally suggested that the film should be rated PG-13, but Matt and Trey said We would never make this film unless it was to be rated R.
• There is a such thing as a V-chip but is used on TVs for parents to block TV shows that were for mature audience or pornography
• The piano used in Big Gay Al's solo is a Felcher and Sons, a reference to the sexual act of the same name.
• In the German version of the film, the scatological pornographic film the boys watch on the computer is changed from German to British.
• The boys seem to be much more mild-mannered, like normal kids, before watching "Asses of Fire", this doesn't make sense considering that the boys are shown to be much more hostile in episodes taking place before the episode the movie falls after.
• Trey Parker, in a VH1 special, said he heard that Stephen Sondheim, famed musical theater producer and composer, thinks South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is the best musical he's seen in the past 15 years. He wrote Mr. Sondheim in response, saying, "We think you've done some good work, too."
• In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut the 13th greatest comedy film of all time.

References to Popular Culture

• Despite coming out only weeks after Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, there is a spoof on Jar Jar Binks in the movie. According to Matt Stone, this spoof was created upon seeing the first Episode I trailer, as Stone explained: "When we saw this thing going, 'Is the people gonna die?' in the first 'Star Wars' preview, we looked at each other and said, people are going to HATE that thing!"
• The ending of the film, in which Satan tells Saddam Hussein, "I have had enough of YOU!" as he throws him into a pit of fire, mirrors the climax at the end of the film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, in which Captain Kirk, struggling on the edge of a cliff with the Klingon Kruge on a planet erupting into fire, kicks Kruge in the face while telling him the same thing with similar inflection on the words "had" "enough" and "you".
• The scene where Satan throws Saddam in the pit is a reference to Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, where Darth Vader throws the Emperor into a pit.
• The scene where Cartman is demonstrating the V-Chip is reminiscent of the scene in the film A Clockwork Orange after he is given aversion therapy.
• When using the V-Chip, Cartman's energy attacks resemble the energy blasts seen in Dragon Ball Z. Also, when Saddam gets knocked down from one of his attacks, the sound that plays was from Dragon Ball Z. Cartman's hair also becomes spiked like a Super Saiyan. (Although this could be due to the electricity.)
• Barbra Streisand's name is said as a swear word by Eric Cartman during the fight between him and Saddam
• The plot of Le Resistance and the boy named the Mole is a reference to the musical play Les Miserables which was inspired by the book written by Victor Hugo.

Controversy

• South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is one of the most profanity-filled movies ever produced. The film features a song entitled "Uncle Fucka" in the Terrance and Philip movie that uses the word fuck 27 times. The song title originally used mother rather than uncle, but it was changed to qualify for an R rating (instead of NC-17).
• The movie's excessive use of profanity also gained it a place in the Guinness Book of Records for "Most Swearing in an Animated Film" (399 profane words, 128 offensive gestures and 221 acts of violence).
• The movie angered moral conservatives not only for its heavy use of profanity, but also for its depiction of conservatives starting a war against Canada purely because of Terrance and Phillip's use of profanity. The underlying theme of the film, however, is that it is the responsibility of parents and guardians to protect their children from what they deem inappropriate, and that censorship of anything (particularly in movies and TV) is simply a parental tool for escaping blame. This is summed up neatly in the climactic line of "Blame Canada", in which a group of parents sing: "We must blame them / and cause a fuss / before somebody thinks of blaming us."
• It is often claimed that the movie was originally titled South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose, and that the MPAA forced a change of the title. The creators of the characters, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, counterproposed South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut as a title, which itself is a double entendre. This version of events comes directly from Parker and Stone; Richard Taylor, a spokesman for the MPAA, denies that any film was ever submitted with that title and states that the MPAA did not reject the use of the word "hell" in the title.
• It is widely thought that the film was banned in Iraq , however releasing of the film in Iraq was never attempted due to Saddam Hussein being Satan's homosexual lover.
• In spite of the controversy, film critics were generally enthusiastic about the film as an intelligent and entertaining satire.

Politics

• This film deals with race relations, war, and censorship. The film clearly opposes censorship, as it is ultimately Eric Cartman's foul mouth that saves the day. In the film, Kyle's mother starts a campaign to censor a Canadian film called Asses of Fire, which culminates in a war being waged against Canada by the United States, a possible criticism of the perceived overeagerness of some nations, particularly the United States, to jump to war over unimportant issues.
• Race-relations themes are also touched upon in a sequence in which a group of soldiers designated as Operation Human Shield turns out to be entirely black, whereas another troop composed entirely of white soldiers is called "Operation Get Behind The Darkies".

Goofs

• When Stan first comes on screen and starts singing Mountain Town, he is seen opening the door and walking down the stairs. However, when it turns to close up, he is still at the door and doesn't start walking down the steps until a few verses. This was fixed on the VHS release, but is prevalent still in the DVD version. It was finally fixed again for the Blu-Ray release.
• When the children leave the movie theater after the rehab session you can see two Bebes.
• While Cartman is singing his popular "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch", when Terrance Mephesto runs past with the other children, the yellow stripes on his shirt are gone.
• During the song "It's Easy, Mmm'kay" Fosse is seen wearing a brown shirt instead of his usual purple one with white stripes. At the end of the song, he is back in a purple shirt.
• When Mr. Mackey announces over the speaker in the cafeteria that all children must be sent home immediately, Kenny can be seen running with them. However, he wasn't wearing any Terrance and Phillip merchandise.
• When The Mole demands the boys to synchronize watches, his eyebrows disappear. In his next appearance, they are back to normal.
• When the boys talk to Chef in the cafeteria, Terrance Mephesto and Red can be seen leaving with their lunch and have Terrance and Phillip shirts on. When Chef says "Hello there children", they can be seen but they have their ordinary clothes and no Terrance and Phillip shirts. In the next scene when the boys walk up to Chef, Terrance and Red walk away with their Terrance and Phillip shirts on again.
• When Cartman is visited by Kenny's ghost, he swears under his sheets but is not electricuted by the chip.This could be due to his being under his blanket, which muffled his voice; the muffling may prevent The V - Chip from recognizing the curse he used.
• At the end, Jimbo is shown wearing his regular outfit. The next scene he's in, he's wearing his army uniform. At the end of the last song, he's wearing his regular outfit again.
• Saddam exits Hell holding a martini glass which changes from hand to hand and disappears at times.
• When Terrance and Philip perform their "classic Canadian joke" for Conan, Philip's false mustache disappears when Terrance breaks the drum set, but in the next scene it is there again.
• When Mr. Mackey announces over the speaker that there will be a special announcement in the gym, Gregory and his wallet disappear.
• At the scene of "La Resistance" when Sheila announces "When Canada's done and gone, there will be noCeline Dion!" she suddenly has a helmet on her head, when at the previous scene where she was singing, didn't have anything on her head. At the last scene where all four areas of the singers are shown, her helmet disappears.
