Dies und das:

The statue in Kim Jong Il's palace is actually a human in heavy makeup. In the first scene in which he appears, you can see his eyes blinking.

Pannen:

Fehler, die von Charakteren gemacht werden (möglicherweise Absicht der Filmemacher): When the world leaders meet at Kim Jong Il's peace conference the sign above Tony Blair's head reads as England. Tony Blair is Prime Minister of the United Kingdom (which consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), not just England.

Kim Jong Il on a string

It's not Gone With the Wind, but it is a great movie! Parker & Stone push the envelope again and again in this off the wall comedy that would make Jim Henson stand up and cheer. Any comedy that portrays Kim Jong Il as a lonely, confused and mad dictator deserves an audience. The creators of South Park pock fun at politics, celebrities, terrorism, James Bond, and puppets, while also creating a funny and well done musical soundtrack that is better than the South Park Musical / Comedy. Off the wall for most of the movie, the puppets having sex only is worth accepting this movie into the cinematic hall of fame. The vomit scene, the death of Kim Jong Il, the musical score, the montage parody and the production value are all worth it. A movie for all South Park fans, this blows (literally) Base-ket Ball out of the theater.
