Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: During the song "That's all I'm askin' for", when the guys are standing in the ling with their arms dancing back in forth, right before it goes to the next shot, you can see Trey Parker (Alfred Packer) mouth the words "cut" to end shooting.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Title Card: The film you are about to see was originally released in 1954. Upstaged by the overwhelming popularity of "Oklahoma!", it's short lived theater run was canceled, and "Alfred Packer: The Musical" soon fell into obscurity. The original negative, re-discovered just last year, has been painstakingly restored using state-of-the-art color enhancing and computer reconstruction technology. The film's violent scenes have been edited out for your viewing pleasure.

The best musical I´ve ever seen

I can´t believe only 99 people, including me, have voted for this film. Trey Parker is a very good songwriter... Who the hell is Andrew Lloyd Webber. The sky is blue and all the leaves are green... The sun´s as warm as a baked potato. I think I know precisely what I mean, when I say it´s a shpadoinkle day... Good lyrics too. Another thing.... George Romero can learn a lot of things from Tray Parker. Really good splatter scene in the beginning. It´s always nice to see a toungue ripped out of the mouth. OK just go see it if you haven´t yet. One of the best American films ever.
