Team America: World Police

Plot

When North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il orchestrates a global terrorist plot, it's up to the heavily armed, highly specialized Team America unit to stop his dastardly scheme. The group, which has recruited troubled Broadway actor Gary Johnston, not only has to face off against Jong-il, but they must also contend with the Film Actors Guild, a cadre of Hollywood liberals at odds with Team America's 'policing the world' tactics.

About Team America: World Police

Team America: World Police is a 2004 American puppet comedy film directed by Trey Parker, who co-wrote it with Matt Stone and Pam Brady. Parker and Stone also star alongside Kristen Miller, Masasa Moyo, Daran Norris, Phil Hendrie, Maurice LaMarche, Jeremy Shada, and Fred Tatasciore. A satire of action film archetypes, American militarism, and the foreign policy of the United States, the film follows the eponymous international counterterrorism force, which recruits a Broadway actor to assist in saving the world from Kim Jong Il and his coalition of Islamic terrorists and progressive Hollywood actors. The film intertwines puppetry and miniature effects in a manner similar to Supermarionation, known for its use in the television series Thunderbirds, although Stone and Parker were not fans of that show. They worked on the script with Brady, a former South Park writer, for nearly two years. Production took place from May to September of 2004 and was troubled, with various technical problems regarding the puppets and the scheduling extremes of finishing in time for its theatrical release. Like Parker's previous film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, it also came into routine conflict with the Motion Picture Association of America, which returned the film multiple times with an NC-17 rating, particularly due to an explicit sex scene involving puppets.
