Team America World Police (2004)
Country: US/GER
Technical: DeLuxe/2.35:1 98m
Director: Trey Parker
Cast: Puppetoon - Voices: Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Kristen Miller
Synopsis:
The liberty of the free world is safeguarded by a vigilante taskforce that is International Rescue trained by Austin Powers. Their nemesis, a North Korean dictator, plots 9/11 times 1,362, and means to harness the liberal clout of Hollywood's great and good to distract the world's leaders at the critical time. So Team America enlist a Broadway wonder boy to 'act' his way into the terrorists' confidences.
Review:
The South Park team come up with a gleefully profane and iconoclastic parody of American foreign policy and package it in neo-Gerry Anderson clothes (with better faces but more ridiculous limb effects). Various films, from Star Wars to The Matrix, come in for reference treatment and there is a plethora of indifferent song interludes. The results raise the odd smile, not least the hero's beyond-the-pale eleventh hour speech about cocks, pussies and assholes, but as a piece of satire this is as subtle as the eponymous team's engagement tactics.
