South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is a 1999 motion picture based on the cartoon television series of South Park.

The plot deals with the four South Park eight-year-old stars who sneak into a profanity-filled movie entitled Asses Of Fire, featuring fictional Canadians Terrance and Philip. After watching the film the boys start to swear even more than usual, and the parent and teacher outrage that ensues triggers an international crisis that eventually escalates into a war between the United States and Canada. A sub-plot involves a scheming Saddam Hussein, who tries to take over the world with the assistance of his gay lover, Satan.

The film is a musical, and features six songs. The song "Blame Canada" was nominated for an Academy Award.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut is allegedly the most profanity-filled movie ever produced. It is difficult to dismiss this claim, considering the film features a song entitled Uncle Fucka in the Terrance and Philip movie that uses the word fuck over 30 times. The song title originally used mother rather than uncle, but it was changed to qualify for an R rating (instead of NC-17); also, the authors say uncle sounds funnier than mother.

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 message 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 film and television) is simply a parental tool for escaping blame. (This is summed up neatly in the line from "Blame Canada" when a group of parents sing: "We must blame them/and cause a fuss/before somebody thinks of blaming us")

Soundtrack guide

The movie's soundtrack album was released by Atlantic Records on June 22, 1999. The CD inlay states that only the first twelve tracks actually appear in the film (the remainder, described as being "inspired" by the movie, are mostly other acts performing alternate versions of those twelve songs); however, D.V.D.A.'s "What Would Brian Boitano Do? Pt. II" does feature heavily in the closing credits.
