    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The police were called on Sacha Baron Cohen ninety-two times during the production of this film.
    • Goofs
      When Borat gets out of the RV where he'd been drinking with the frat boys, it is a different RV than the one he originally got into.
    • Quotes

      Borat: You telling me the man who try to put a rubber fist in my anus was a homosexual?

    • Crazy credits
      "KAZAKH BOARD OF FILM CENSORS: This film is unsuitable for children under the age of 3"
    • Alternate versions
      For the film's US television premiere on USA Network in June 2009, the film is presented largely uncut -- including the infamous nude wrestling and chase between Borat and Azamat, which is censored with black bars -- but several of the harshest profanities and sexual terms are silenced and a label reading "CENZURAT" appears over mouths (and, where necessary, subtitles) in order to try and further hide which terms are being used.
