Storyline
Did you know
- 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
I didn't really think I was gonna like this going into it. It seemed like the sort of comedy that was just grating and would irritate me but I gave it a chance.
It really surprised me. It's hilarious. I didn't realise that it was a sort of "hidden camera" for lack of a better word, movie. It used real people and puts them in these insane situations. I think it's so interesting to see how people react.
It's also likes to dig into peoples life's and get them to expose the awful parts of them selfs. The part with the men on the bus springs to mind. It is truly disgusting and this movie Lulls them into this place where they expose them selfs. It's incredibly interesting.
