Borat (2006)

Corrected entry: This is meant to be a documentary, and only one camera operator is ever referred to. However, there are multiple incidences where two cameras are clearly being used - for example, we'll see Borat running towards the van, then we'll suddenly be inside the van seeing him get in too and speed away, with no sign of a camera behind him. Even if they were using two cameras, the second one would be in shot.

Correction: This is NOT meant to be a documentary, rather a MOCKumentary. The whole movie is shot as if it's a documentary, but that is part of the comedy. Besides, even in a real documentary, multiple camera angles are used, as well as scenes not meant to be filmed live are pre-recorded, and acting used to move the story along. Real footage is also intermixed with acted footage in editing to give the movie a "feel" and to cut out extraneous footage.
