    • Trivia
      Packer's horse is named Liane after Liane Adamo, Trey Parker's former fiancée. Parker discovered that Adamo was having an affair, so he gave her name to "the horse that would let anyone ride her."
    • Goofs
      When Alferd Packer is running from the crowd from the bar, there is a clear, visible line in the sand where he is supposed to run.
    • Quotes

      James Humphrey: Wait! You're cutting into his butt!

      Frank Miller: Well, what kind of piece do you want?

      James Humphrey: Well, not butt!

    • Crazy credits
      (At the end of the closing credits) Due to the graphic nature of this film, it should not have been watched by small children.
    • Alternate versions
      The film was originally prepared as a three-minute joke "trailer" shown at Trey Parker's college in Colorado. The cast is largely the same, although there is no Polly Prye yet, and most of the scenes in the "trailer" are matched in the final movie, including the songs "Let's Build a Snowman" and "On Top of You." There are also one or two songs not used in the final movie, though. In this version Packer, upon seeing the bodies of his mutilated companions, lets out a loud scream which gradually changes into a musical note, and he starts to sing a funky number. He sings something similar at the end of the trailer too. Although in the final movie, characters played by Matt Stone and Dian Bachar never develop facial hair, this version shows everyone growing at least a moustache, even Matt. This cheap and amusing "trailer" is sometimes actually used as the trailer for the final film [Although the final film does have its own trailer]. The title of the original trailer [And the original cut of the movie] was "Alferd Packer: The Musical," but of course all Troma releases replace the title cards with new ones reading "Cannibal: The Musical." Versions of the original trailer and the final film with both titles are circulating somewhere.

    Brilliant and hilarious `musical'
    Cannibal! The Musical is now a small cult classic thanks to DVD. It deserves more because this is simply a great movie, with songs that will leave you laughing for days and some great pop-culture references. Oh yeah, and Japanese Indians. And Confederate solider Cyclopses.

    I actually read about the real Alfred Packer on the internet and believe it or not, the movie stays true to what happened. Scary, huh?

    Historical background aside, the one-liners and musical numbers (`Let's Build a Snowman' is unbelievably funny) are a good reason to get this movie. If you have a DVD player, get the DVD and listen to the cast/crew's drunk commentary. It's not very informative but it sure is fun. Grade: A.

    Rated R for graphic comic violence/gore and strong language. Suggested for ages 14 and up.

    FAQ1

    • Why does Humphrey say "you stupid yank" at the end of the scene where the cyclops is singing Dixie?
