Before there was South Park, there was Trey Parker's hilariously maniacal musical comedy masterpiece, Cannibal! The Musical. Starring Parker and South Park co-creator Matt Stone, the film is based on the legend of Colorado Cannibal Alfred Packer. Cannibal! The Musical tells Packer's version of what really happened when he and a group of gold diggers embarked on their fateful trip into the Rocky Mountains. Gruesomely gory, savagely satirical and painfully funny, Cannibal! The Musical stands as a predecessor to what would come next for Parker and Stone, and features several trailblazing jokes that would become part of the South Park legacy.

This violent film follows the miserable life of a miserable Vietnam vet as it goes from awful, to disgusting, to almost ludicrous (the life and the film). First the vet helps slaughter the inhabitants of a village during the war and then he is captured and tortured for two years. After that scenario, he winds up in a low-life neighborhood in New York owing drug money, saddled with a chunky, nagging, ugly wife and a little baby who inherited his mother's genes. One gory scene follows another until the climax which is meant to be the shocker that caps it all.
