Storyline

- TriviaThe police were called on Sacha Baron Cohen ninety-two times during the production of this film.
- GoofsWhen 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.
- Crazy credits"KAZAKH BOARD OF FILM CENSORS: This film is unsuitable for children under the age of 3"
- Alternate versionsFor 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.

Featured review
In terms of pure unadulterated cringe-worthiness, this film just about outshines them all. It is brilliant, horrific, hilarious, sad, outrageous, revealing, and incredibly clever. It shows up people's narrow-mindedness, their racism, their inability to accept or understand different cultures. It makes me scared for the future of the world, and delighted that someone actually sees most people for what they really are - blinkered and uneducated.
Go and rent it, and enjoy. It will make you want to be a better person, make you laugh until you almost cry, and undoubtedly make you hide behind a cushion at times.
Sacha Baron-Cohen is a genius. A definite 10 out of 10.
