      The audience members in the talk show scene were hired for $50 each, and they were told they would be the first audience members of a new talk show. This was filmed at a suburb of Dallas, Texas.
    • Goofs
      In the diner scene where Brüno commits "carbicide" the exterior light goes from night to day then back to night.
    • Quotes

      Brüno: Ich was going to be the biggest Austrian superstar since Hitler.

    • Crazy credits
      The U in the Universal logo is spelled with an umlaut (Ü) like the movie's title.
    • Alternate versions
      In Australia, the uncut version was rated R18+ by the OFLC and was subsequently edited to receive a lower MA15+ rating. According to Universal a few seconds of footage were trimmed in order to receive the new rating. The uncut version was released on DVD/Blu-ray.

    Too bold for uptight America
    Granted, the DVD I rented began to skip about halfway through the film and I didn't see the whole movie, I believe that the only reason that this movie doesn't get the same reviews as Borat is because the American audience is too uptight. Yes, the movie is gross and at times cringe-inducing. Some of the more extreme scenes could have been hampered down, but I believe at the expense of the humor. Posters say they have never met anyone like Bruno, however have they ever met anyone like Borat. Neither exist in the real world and that is why the movie works. Cohen is a brilliant improviser and always two steps ahead of his targets. Some of the pranks don't deliver, but that's okay. I admire his audacity. For all the people who say it was too gross, imagine if the film was filled with explicit heterosexual sex, I'm sure the reaction would be much different. The aversion to this movie is primarily because there is a deep seated disgust to homosexual activity within the American psyche and even the most tolerant liberal is likely to be disgusted at some point. That's okay, that is why the movie works, it asks us what it is and why we are appalled.
