Mistakes

Although the movie is filmed with puppets on strings, their movements and their surroundings are made to look as realistic as possible. This nitpick shows a moment when that doesn't happen. As the terrorists begin shooting up Paris, one terrorist runs down the street (in front of the bakery) as citizens run in every direction. One puppet (a female wearing a dress with black and white stripes)runs off camera to the right. After she runs out of the shot, the shadow of the puppet appears on the building corner (left side of the screen), being lifted up and out of the scene. See more...

Entry The "Montage" song is actually from an episode of South Park (Parker and Stone's TV show) called "Asspen," where Stan learns how to ski in a similar montage style.
Entry Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" is the only non-original song in the film. Trey Parker wrote all of the other songs. (Battle Without Honour or Humanity, from Kill Bill, is just music, rather than a song).
Entry The scene where Gary strolls into the bar is virtually the exact same layout as the canteen in Star Wars. Several people are playing the same instruments and people are even "drinking" from those bong-like tubes.
Entry Originally in early drafts of the script, I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. was called F.O.N.Z.Y.
Entry Spottswoode asks Gary if he's ever seen "a guy eat his own head". A reference to the SOUTH PARK episode "Super Best Friends" (created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone), where David Blaine performs such a feat.
Entry Stay till the end of the credits for an extra song: "You are worthless, Alec Baldwin".
Entry In the Paris scene, at one point in the background a cafe called "Cafe Merde" can be seen. "Merde" is French for sh**.
Entry On Lisa's Team America business card (when she's giving it to Gary), the L and the I of Lisa are closer together than the other letters, making LISA look like USA.
Entry Harry-Gregson Williams was hired three weeks before the film's release to compose a new score for the movie. Paramount Pictures fired the original composer Marc Shaiman because his score didn't have a Jerry Bruckheimer feel to it.
Entry The surrounding palm trees at the F.A.G. building, and the back round trees in Cairo are actually made of cut up one dollar bills. Also, in Kim Jong Il's mansion, hanging on the lights and chandeliers there are rocket bombs and grenades. The belt buckles of the Team are U.S. quarters and Gary has a set of nail clippers on his left leg. The surrounding poor suburbs of North Korea are made of Chinese food boxes. In Cairo, the lanterns in the tavern are made from cheese graters, vegetable steamers, and incense burners. The walkways in the Paris scene are made out of cast crescents as well as having all the recognizable monuments of Paris residing in one single plaza.
Entry The statue in Kim Jong Il's palace is a real person.
Entry At the marketplace in Cairo, there is a character with a basket on his head. If you look closely you can see that the basket is filled with Goldfish crackers.
Entry In the scene where the Panama Canal gets blown up, all the foliage in the background is made to look like marijuana.
