Movie Info
This is an amiable little parody from director Trey Parker, best known as co-creator of the cult TV series South Park. Set in 1873, the film deals with Alfred Packer (Juan Schwartz, aka Trey Parker), who is accused of cannibalizing members of his six-man party on a trip West. There are comic songs, Japanese people pretending to be Indians, and a cyclops whose eye spurts pus. The film's highlight may be Alfred's saloon kung fu fight with a cocky fur trapper named Frenchy over his beloved horse

Scattershot, unfocused, and simply not all that funny.
We are talking about one sweet movie over here.
Best enjoyed on DVD, as the alcohol-fueled commentary track might just be the best one ever recorded.
An early project from the 'South Park' creators that, to put it politely, proves their best work was still to come.
General silliness from the SOUTH PARK boys, but some truly hilarious moments. And even (extremely loosely) based on actual events!
Early college film effort from South Park creators is the very definition of 'Sophomoric.'
Parker and Stone's satirical whims cannot seem to find an appropriate place in a live-action setting.
