Borat 2 - 23/Oct

[phes]

You can tell they know this isn't real, it's very obvious - they might not know exactly who that it is Borat but it is quite clear that this is a joke being played.

Apparently you can't tell

Seems a bit shoddy that she wasn't debriefed and was left concerned for the child's welfare

[Shit Good Nose]

I enjoyed the silliness for the first half hour or so until it largely lost its way from around the ball on.  Also, whilst the actress playing Tutar is very good, the latter subplot about the changing father-daughter relationship felt a bit shoehorned in and like it was from a different film - I want stupid Borat rather than pseudo American sitcom MESSAGES.  But, presumably that was a covid forced shifting of the film.

Mind you, John Chevrolet is worth the price of admission alone.

Quick question - in the week or so since I saw it, I keep seeing Amazon Prime spots across cable news with a clip showing Borat driving with the daughter in a cage on top, telling a cop Only men and bears are allowed in car!

It's not the cleverest joke, but the delivery of that line really cracks me up. Every. Single. Time. It just never seems to get old and/or tired, despite seeing it about 20 times a day.

Weirdly I have no recollection of seeing it in the actual movie. Did I just miss this by some unfortunate coincidence, or was it cut?

Same here, guess it wasn't big enough to fit in?

A friend at work told me he'd seen an advert with Borat playing golf, which also wasn't in the film as I remember.

Will all be in director's cut along with Rudy's festering knob

Must have been cut - I also read that they were genuinely pulled over whilst filming that sequence.

The trailers for the first film also contained lots of deleted scenes.

Including what was (for me) the funniest scene

Presumably they film huge quantities of these and will retrofit the story and specific plot beats (via handy-dandy voiceover exposition) around whatever pieces worked. It's why the

scene at the synagogue

felt a bit shoehorned in, it worked too well not include it but the story beat it was telling didn't really fit.

Yeah. They clearly find scenes they want to use and find an excuse to stitch them together, which is where the narration comes in, e.g. "I thought I needed to X, so I went to Y," with X and Y filled in with whatever convenient excuse needed to go from scene A to scene B.
