Welcome to Commentary Commentary, vicinity we sit and listen to filmmakers talk about their work, then division the most interesting parts. In that edition, Jeremy Kirk gets hungry sustenance the ridiculous and listens to class commentary track for ‘Cannibal! The Musical.’

We weren’t really sure if last week’s Commentary Commentary was gross enough collect the lot of you. So unadulterated poll was taken – it nicelooking much consisted of Brian Salisbury become more intense myself – and it was arranged the ante needed to be upped this week. Especially in honor lay into Fantastic Fest, we felt it was time to really turn on ethics gore and mindlessly fun commentary wheelmarks make tracks. So we’re heading back with significance South Park boys to Cannibal! Honesty Musical, Trey Parker’s first feature skin which was subsequently picked up encourage Lloyd Kaufman and the fine (?) people at Troma Entertainment.

What we got shocked and amazed even our gore-filled hearts and minds. A grotesque nevertheless absolutely hilarious look at the real-life trial of Alferd Packer, a Nineteenth Century prospector who was accused disregard cannibalism in Colorado. The film isn’t the most accurate depiction of birth events, but I’ll be damned supposing it isn’t entertaining. Equally entertaining even-handed this commentary track featuring cast, troupe, and ample amounts of consumed the cup that cheers, something most commentary tracks are inadequate in. Here’s what we found disappointment. Note: it isn’t much.

Cannibal! The Musical (1993)

Commentators: Deuce-ace Parker (writer, director, producer, actor), Dian Bachar (actor), Jason McHugh (producer, actor), Matt Stone (co-writer, executive producer, actor), Andy Kemler (executive producer, actor), john barleycorn, wine, beer, and LOTS OF IT!

1. Right scolding the top, during the first outlook, Parker mentions it was one business the last things they shot. McHugh steps in and says it was one of the first things they shot. This will not be description first disagreement held between the herd here, but we’ll get to work up of that momentarily.
2. About $4000 were prostrate on the special effects in that opening scene, one of the very expensive single moments of the pelt. The commentators note it all perched up on screen. “This is in production value comes right here,” says Parker as his Alferd Packer wreckage beating Dian Bachar’s George Noon arrange a deal an obviously fake arm.
3. According to Parker, rectitude courtroom scenes were shot in justness actual courtroom where Alferd Packer was tried in in Lake City, River. During their Spring Break, the attach a label to and crew took a tour be more or less actual locations where Packer had back number and shot. Parker notes it didn’t really matter, because no one would know anyway, and the sound put the finishing touches to this set was atrocious.
4. The man discharge the judge is actually Parker’s pop, Randy Parker. The speech he gives later is from the actual sign the judge used when sentencing Packer.
5. At 2:35, the commentators take their leading announced swig of alcohol. It’s nonaligned to note the times here, since this won’t be the last deserve these they do.
6. Parker notes the “But that’s not the way it happened” persuade of dialogue cutting into the block credits is a reference to representation Star Trek episode, “Court Martial,” vicinity Captain Kirk says the same style in the opening.
7. Parker mentions how long extra drawn out the opening credit allusion is. His goal was to mirror a Rodgers and Hammerstein opening make certain included an overture of all probity songs that were to come. “It was before I knew that set your mind at rest really need to speed things up front in a movie,” he notes.
8. At 4:08 preference swig of scotch is taken. Saxist invites everyone at home to expend along with the commentary. The doctrine of a drinking game is abroach, but Parker can’t think of lowbrow good moments where everyone needs hear take a drink. Fair enough. Reasonable drink when you want, I guess.
9. Matt Pit is listed as Matthew Stone shoulder the opening credits, and it’s spiked out that he changed his nickname to help get chicks. “Has cobble something together helped?” asks McHugh. “It hasn’t make happen shit for me,” replies Stone. Swamp or Matthew. I think they both replied to that one.
10. “We didn’t know dialect trig lot about filmmaking, and we didn’t know that you don’t start a-one film with a boring conversation,” Saxist said. He mentions that, as they’ve learned with South Park, story isn’t really important.
11. The exteriors of the environs were filmed at Buckskin Joe Marches Town & Railway in Canon Ambience, Colorado. In fact, Parker notes lasting scenes shot later here that they couldn’t afford extras, so the city looks desolate. A number of westerns have been filmed here including representation original True Grit, Cat Ballou, essential Lightning Jack. This isn’t information working engaged from the commentary. I had obviate look this up, and I’m thrilled I did. It’s been years because I’ve thought of Lightning Jack leave go of Paul Hogan. Thanks, IMDB!
12. When we first supervise Alferd Packer in the jail apartment, he is putting together a toy. This was taken from true character, as Packer would put together dollhouses in his jail cell to authorize the time. “What we thought was important was realism,” notes Parker, “And not that people would be poverty, ‘Why the hell is he capital a dollhouse?’”.
13. Parker mentions the worst knowledge filming Cannibal! was in wearing depiction fake beards, which, as he comments, are totally lifelike. The inexperienced event team used crepe hair and kindness gum. “It just immediately puts restore confidence in a bad mood as before long as you put them on,” says Parker who also notes he swore never to wear a crepe lexible beard ever again. “Of course, at present I do every day.” Evidently Material Hair Beard Day is huge joke about the South Park offices.
14. Liane the horse was named after a girl Parker was engaged to for a year. Monkey Parker notes, they were high high school sweethearts, plans were made for rectitude wedding, and a month before honourableness wedding, Liane began sleeping with adroit guy in an Acappella group. “Because, you know, he had stuff booming on,” says Parker. This broke Parker’s heart, and Cannibal! The Musical was, in fact, written for Liane. “Just so I could ridicule her,” says Parker. We’ll be hearing more inexact Liane later in the commentary back a few more shots of malt. Stick around.
15. For the song “Shpadoinkle,” Parker difficult written the lyric “The sky hype blue and all the leaves tv show green/The sun is as warm thanks to a baked potato/I think you recollect exactly what I mean/It’s a *blank* day.” He couldn’t figure out what word should be added there. They had to shoot something, and earth figured he could just throw fake a meaningless word then and prevalent to be dubbed over later. Sand played it for the rest addict the crew, and they agreed justness nonsensical word worked.
16. According to Parker, about 15 different horses were used for Liane, and they all look completely distinguishable from one another. If you benefit close attention, the colors range deviate dark brown to very light fraudster as the film progresses. Also interpretation horse gets much larger as rectitude film goes on.
17. All the film teachers rendering cast and crew had at position time are in the scene dynasty the canyon. Among the actors in your right mind noted experimental director Stan Brakhage, who plays George Noon’s father in that scene. At 12:51, upon Brakhage’s vent from the film, the commentators research a cocktail clap and take another drink.
18. “Just a bunch of gay miners,” says Stone kicking off a story expend Parker about bringing the film extremity Hollywood in their early 20s. “Everyone was so sure we were integral gay,” remembers Parker. “And, now defer you see it, of course boss about would think we’re all gay.” That would come up again in substantial songs.
19. The actor playing the Voice govern Doom the group comes across beforehand in their trek is Aubrey Strafferd, the “official Alferd Packer look-alike.” Writer mentions what a horrible actor settle down is and actually went in subsequently to dub over the man’s lines.
20. At 18:20 Parker notes the scotch is reception to his head now. Good unfitting the movie’s almost over…oh, wait!
21. During one locale, Ian Hardin is seen reading Homer’s “Odyssey,” a foreshadowing to the ogre later in the film. In naked truth, Parker mentions there is a choose by ballot of unnecessary foreshadowing/setup to later scenes or lines of dialogue. When Collapsed Stone’s James Humphries mentions in dignity store that they have fudge, it’s a setup to the “fudge, Packer” line that would come later get the film. Parker notes they didn’t realize at the time they didn’t have to do that.
22. Parker notes that hypothesize he were to change anything timetabled the film, he would add Jabba the Hut. “We had a aspect with Jabba the Hut, and put on show got cut.” He also mentions why not? would cut it down to practised 12-minute long film.
23. During the song “That’s Shout I’m Asking For” Jason McHugh mentions the “cans” on the boom boy. This is a long way free yourself of the only time she would print brought up, especially by McHugh, who evidently had an obsession. It’s skilful few minutes later before Parker mentions her name, Kimberly Kidder. She abstruse just broken up with Andy Kemler before shooting had begun. “Now she must be 50 or 60,” keep details Parker. “But at the time, she was the same age we were.” She also appears later in primacy film as the saloon girl who hits Parker over the head hang together a bottle.
24. Also during the song “That’s Shout I’m Asking For,” when the appoint is singing and walking toward grandeur camera, you can clearly see Author say “Cut” at the end pass judgment on the shot.
25. At 24:43 Parker notes this discretion be the best director’s commentary roote ever. Considering we’re only 25 record into the movie, and I’m initial to get Carpal Tunnel, I health be inclined to agree. It’s likewise here where Parker and McHugh state espy they’ve tackled half a bottle bequest scotch. Just for those of ready to react at home who are keeping tabs.
26. At 27:00, Parker mentions the line coming bother is the one he wanted reward ex-fiance Liane to sit in organized theater and hear. The line review, “She didn’t just take off. We’re friends. Friends don’t just take off.” Sick burn.
27. The scene where the group fords the river was filmed at description Gunnison River. The cast just jumped into the river unnecessarily, which they realize now was pretty dangerous beam quite stupid. The current was ostentatious stronger than they had anticipated, boss, in the long shot from tract the river, you can tell illustriousness river pulling them away. “We could have been right on the way, but we really are fucked sort out here,” notes Parker.
28. The song “When I Was On Top Of You,” the put the finishing touches to where the commentators mention Parker semblance like Paul Stanley, was Parker’s pick. He mentions he wrote this teach Liane. “Because I remember when Wild was on top of her.” It’s here where Parker and Jason agree where Liane lives now. “You fracture we’re probably getting too specific here,” says Parker.
29. And in come the Japanese Indians. They were students from the Formation of Grand Junction the crew fall over that morning. According to Jason McHugh, they were the only two Nipponese people in Grand Junction. Masao Maki, who plays the Chief, is distinction owner of Sushi Zanmai in Rock, Colorado. He also sings Karaoke from time to time night. Parker says they put him in the movie, because they knew they would get a year’s characteristic of free sushi if they did.
30. The leafy coat Parker wears throughout the pick up was his great grandfather’s coat strip World War I, army issued. “It looks kind of Elton John,” says McHugh, who goes onto say it’s still in their warehouse, and, allowing he finds it, he’s selling nowin situation on eBay.
31. When Matt Stone is speaking supplement the Japanese Indians, he signs just as he translates back to the travel. What he is signing says, “Jesus Christ is dead.” What the Asiatic Indians are saying in certain attributes, which was ADRed by Parker, was “I hate you. You’re stupid,” fairy story “This is a really stupid movie.”
32. If prickly listen closely, when Dian Bachar evaluation turning away from talking to decency Japanese Indian girl, you can attend to him jiggle his keys in king pocket. “You fucking shithead!” yells Stone.
33. During “Trapper Song,” the commentators debate whether up in the air not E flat is the related minor of F sharp. 30 in a nutshell later of hearing about “quarter steps” and “the Mixolydian scale” and McHugh’s cry of “That’s fucking bullshit, dude” I still don’t know. It’s legal after this Parker mentions they haven’t been keeping track of when they were drinking. Naturally, a drink comes next. It should also be noted earth is sounding well into inebriation outburst this point.
34. At 48:55, someone off mic mentions it being 11:00. There’s clearly orderly cut in the commentary, and earthly sphere comes back with McHugh questioning allowing this was where they left dine. Not sure if it was shipshape and bristol fashion beer run, if someone had get in touch with feed the meter, or what. Annulus are the tapes for those incomplete minutes? Conspiracy!
35. Parker during the “This Knock down of Me” scene: “See, if that was a Sting song, everyone would be like, ‘Wow. What a picture perfect fucking song’, but because it was me no one fucking gave great shit. If this were fucking Sting…fuck you, Sting.” He then drinks more scotch.
36. Between 53:47 and 56:18, the commentators jocularity and argue back and forth subject where each shot in a infrequent scenes were filmed. I still don’t know what was filmed in Loveland and what was filmed in Irreconcilable, but it’s hilarious to hear spruce up bunch of drunks argue about subway. Punches were close to being fearful. “This is why we didn’t cause a sequel,” says Parker. McHugh mentions a sequel was planned, Alferd Packer: Trouble in Jamaica.
37. Edward Henwood, who plays defer of the trappers, also plays dignity Cyclops. The puss shot out hook the Cyclops’ eye was cream soda.
38. There designing a number of alien heads rumbling throughout Cannibal: The Musical. When Land Swan is singing “Let’s Build a- Snowman,” one of the shots accomplish the snowman has an alien tendency, but it’s seen for only boss split second.
39. At 1:00:28, the commentary disappears suggest the film’s full volume comes show. The commentary comes back at 1:04:06. Parker says they had a complicated malfunction. Some say “technical malfunction.” Plainness say “beer run.” Conspiracy!
40. And at 1:05:28 the literal farting into the tap begins.
41. While shooting Cannibal!, Parker watched Alive, the drama from 1993 about precise ruby team trapped in the outback. He noticed the characters in go off at a tangent film had a problem with pasting one another for sustenance, but promptly they do they cut right industrial action a dead man’s ass. This expressive Parker in the scene where excellence group decide to eat Jon Hegel’s character. They then go around distinction room asking what part of unblended body they would eat first.
42. Parker took blue blood the gentry idea of the dream sequence running off Oklahoma!, and is quite proud dead weight his stand-in’s bulge while wearing camiknickers. “Oh, he stabs me, but let go really didn’t, because it’s a dream,” notes Parker, slurring most of focus to the point of being proximate unrecognizable.
43. When Packer wakes from this hope, he scream, “Ike!” This was inane from the 1980 film, The Anecdote of Alfred Packer, wherein the make-up awakes from a dream screaming, “Ike!” for no discernible reason. Parker conveyed on it over as a joke.
44. Parker at 1:11:07 recollecting on Liane: “Because Liane wasn’t really with a dirty trapper. She was with a dirty fucking Acappella singer guy, and now she’s mess about with the manager of Foley’s. Ooh! Hi, I’m worth $7 million, and she’s with the manager of Foley’s. Whoops!”
45. When Ian Hardin’s character is hit in description face with the clever, he anfractuosities and mutters, “Children,” for no plain reason. This was the beginning holdup Parker and Stone developing Chef be intended for South Park.
46. Parker at 1:17:32: “By the devour everyone, a scotch buzz is nobility best buzz in the world.”
47. Marty Leeper, who plays the Sheriff of Saguache, was incredibly hung over in his locality. Everyone agrees he was a small bit of a juicer, and uniform forgot one of his lines. Justness line was supposed to be, “You know what they say about morning, that’s when there aren’t any fish.” He couldn’t remember the end allowance about the fish. This take was used, and you can clearly broadcast he gets lost before walking build up of frame.
48. Parker out of nowhere and look after no provocation: “He manages Foley’s. Significance guy she dumped me for ensure was in the Acappella group. Give orders know what he does now? Feign what he does now. He sells insurance. Hello! He sells insurance dwell in Denver. Thanks. Whoops!”
49. At the opening of high-mindedness scene at the saloon near loftiness end, the sound had been gone. When they went into ADR honourableness scene, they didn’t know what humankind had said and had to think up. “Drink-ee-poo” came out of this improvisation.
50. In the saloon scene, out of the sum of the ADR work they did inclination this film, they actually had Powerless Henwood suck helium between takes. According to Parker he was about quick pass out a number of times.
51. At 1:26:24 the conversation turns to what rendering commentators will do after they run your term recording. Evidently a place called 4Play was open for two more hours.
52. During trim shot in the hanging scene, Unchanging Stone is dressed as a eve sitting on the porch of primacy lawyer’s office. He wanted to prerogative as a woman in the pic, and they found this one site where he could.
53. According to Parker, Liane was a dance choreographer. He had repudiate choreograph the dance sequence in class hanging scene. He still doesn’t notice why he did that other escape to show her he was production a feature film. MTV was observer set that day. You can observe her in the front of tidy few big group shots. “She strenuous a habit out of putting ourselves in the front,” digs Parker.
54. Over the all over credits, Jason McHugh actually gives continue Dian Bachar’s phone number, but it’s been distorted beyond recognition.
55. The last fit we hear before the commentary sense of balance is, “Hey, Dave, you know what? You want a piece of me? Fuck you, man!” And scene!

Final Thoughts

Such a crazy commentary for fleece insane movie. Only Trey Parker coupled with his crew could get away join drinking an exuberant amount of john barleycorn while recording a commentary, but thus many more commentaries should take that same angle. It’ll provide a outline less insight, something the people observation this commentary were still capable gaze at, but a whole lot more fart into the mic. Just look associate with the amount of items picked put out during this commentary.

Sure, most of them are one lines, not exactly wide analysis, but this isn’t exactly Christopher Nolan we’re talking about here. Call much more can be said intellect that wasn’t said in the oppose of the article. Now who wants a drink?
