Fun fact: The original title for this movie was South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose. The MPAA vetoed the name for having the word “hell” in it, so Trey came up with the final title and it was approved somehow.

This scene making fun of pedos and the “I learn something today” speeches always stuck out to me. Cause it’s been nearly 25 years and yet I seen countless people talk like this bozo when they get caught unironically.
Reminder that there’s two digital only South Park games on the 360 Marketplace that aren’t available on modern consoles and both are in danger of becoming inaccessible.
Get ‘em before July 29th hits.
The original working title for the film was All Hell Breaks Loose. The MPAA rejected it due to it having the word “hell”. Trey came up with the final title and by the time the MPAA realised what Bigger, Longer and Uncut meant, it was already too late to be changed.
Despite the constant executive meddling, the MPAA did not object to any of the excessive violence found in the third act. This fact was later mocked in this scene.

This was the final South Park title to be released by Acclaim before the IP took a long break from the gaming medium.
BLU was also originally considered to be a finale to South Park. This was due to the press writing off the show as a fad, Matt and Trey disliking season 2 and offshoots they regret like BASEketball and the South Park FPS.
The MPAA wasn’t the only hurdle Matt and Trey had to deal with. On top of making an entire movie, they still had to make new episodes of the show back to back.
Paramount was initially against the film being a musical. Matt and Trey thought them over this aspect as their previous movies had songs in them and to poke fun at the Disney Renaissance which was huge at the time.
Unlike other TV show adaptations where different people would be split and assigned to different roles accordingly, much of the SP staff would go back and forth between the show and the movie.
Grossing over $83.1 mil against a $21 mil budget, it held the title of being the highest R rated animated movie for 17 years. It would lose that honour to Sausage Party in 2016.
